Q5: Explain: Quick shooting and the sequence mode of the C-3030ZOOM
A: Quick shooting: One or two seconds after the shutter has been released in the normal
mode, the next shot can be taken.
Sequence shooting: Pictures can be taken in a sequence. The built-in SDRAM with a large
capacity of 32 MB makes possible sequence shooting at high speeds, about 3.3
frames/sec., in all modes, except TIFF mode. The following should be noted:
(1) To eliminate the effect of camera shake, a shutter speed should be set at a faster
shutter speed than 1/30 sec.
4
This means a dark subject may appear even darker than when shooting in normal
mode.
(2) When the extension flash is used, it is recommended to adjust the flash settings
to match the sequence shooting speed.
5
Q11: Explain: Two types of light metering modes
A: The C-3030ZOOM is provided with two light metering systems, the digital ESP and the
spot light metering system. In the digital ESP photometry system, the centre and
periphery of the picture frame are separately measured to select the optimal exposure.
In the spot photometry system, only the centre is measured. Therefore, a darker
subject can be taken with the proper exposure without being affected by backlight, etc.

the remote control.
When the 32 MB SmartMedia is used, movies can be recorded for the duration shown
below.
7
Damage or injury caused by the use of the above mentioned batteries will not be
compensated. The use of batteries such as (4), in particular, will cause a short in the
battery cell resulting in heat generation. A battery mentioned in (4) should never be
used. Batteries mentioned in (1), (2), and (3) may also cause a short due to mixing of
foreign matter. There is a danger of heat generation.
Q24: Why can’t Carbon-Zinc Manganese batteries be used with the C-3030ZOOM?
A: In addition to short life of the battery, heat generated by the battery may cause damage
to the camera body.
Q25: When a Ni-HM battery is used, the alarm indicating weak battery appears earlier
than with a Lithium battery pack. Why?
A: Because of the different battery characteristics.
The battery can be used for a while after the alarm starts blinking.
Use Conditions
b) Repetition of the following: sequential playback in the auto playback mode - right
after the power is automatically turned OFF, turn ON the power - auto playback
again.
8
d) When connected to a PC.
With Alkaline batteries, battery life widely varies depending on the date of manufacture,
manufacturer, and temperature. The use of the optional NiHM battery re-charger (BU-
40SNH/BU-40S/B-31S/B-30S) is recommended.
• When our NiHM battery is used under the conditions specified above, estimated
battery life, as a guide, is about a half of Lithium battery.
Q27: What is the key for longer battery life on the C-3030ZOOM?
A: When the power is kept ON for about 3 minutes without any operation, the power saving
function works and displays on the control panel disappear. Furthermore, about 4 hours
later the power is automatically turned OFF. If a picture is not to be taken for a while, turn
the power OFF where possible.
• When a new battery is used, the aken time before it is switched to the standby
status becomes longer in some cases depending on the type of battery.
Q28: Why isn’t the C-3030ZOOM switched to the standby status after 3 minutes?
A: Note that when the power is supplied from the AC adapter, the status is not switched to
standby, and the power is also not turned OFF.
Q29: After the LCD monitor of the C-3030ZOOM is turned ON, how many minutes does it
take before it is turned OFF?
A: After the power is turned ON, if no operation is conducted for 3 minutes, the monitor is
automatically turned OFF. In case of auto playback, the monitor is automatically turned
OFF 30 minutes later.
Q31: Some items can not be selected in the shooting menu when the REC-check is
effective. Why?
A: Even during checking with the REC-check, shooting can continue. However, the
following items of the shooting menu can not be modified.
(1) Drive
(2) Recording
(3) Function Card
(4) Card setup
(5) Mode setting
Q32: When the full time AF mode is set to ON, the camera always operates in the AF
mode. Why?
A: When the full time AF mode is set to ON, the camera keeps the subject in focus even if
the shutter button is not activated. When the full time AF mode is set to ON, the subject
always appears in focus displayed in the LCD monitor. Note the following:
(1) When the full time AF mode is set to ON, the battery life is shortened.
(2) When the LCD monitor is off, the full time AF function does not work. Turn on the
LCD monitor to use.
(3) For “Card set up” or “Card cover alarm”, the AF operation of the camera does not
stop.
9
Right after it has resumed, the camera always puts the AF in action for immediate
focusing.
Q33: For the C-3030ZOOM, what is the compression rate in each Image Quality mode
(Recording mode)?
A: Refer to the table below.
Q34: What is the maximum possible number of exposures with the C-3030ZOOM?

Q38: In the Macro mode of the C-3030ZOOM, what is the shortest distance to a subject?
A: In the Macro mode, shooting can be performed at a shortest distance of 20 cm for all
zoom ranges, from wide to tele. Note that when a flash is used, the bright or dark area
becomes noticeable.
In addition to the above four modes, an extension flash mode, a slow synchro mode
(first and second curtain) can be set.
Q41: When the power is OFF, foreign matter, such as dust, can be seen in the finder.
Why?
A: When the lens is sunk into the camera body (power OFF), foreign matter such as dust
may be seen. Because of the finder mechanism, the surface of finder lens can be seen
during power OFF. The finder is not defective. While shooting (power ON) such foreign
matter can not be seen and does not effect the images.
Q42: Can set items be saved after the power is turned OFF?
A: When “Set clear” is set to OFF on the camera, a desired setting can be held
13
continuously. Even if the power is turned OFF, it can be held before the setting is
changed.
Q43: Is it possible to make the camera beep when the shutter is pressed?
A: Yes, the can be set.
Q44: Is it possible to set camera so that pictures are not displayed after they are taken?
A: Whether recorded pictures are displayed on the LCD after shooting can be set.
14
frame. A flash equipped with a wide adapter to spread illumination angle of
the flash is ideal.
(e) Use a flash unit with a flash time of 1/200 sec. or shorter when using the unit
at full strength. With flashes with a longer flash time, such as a ring flash, a
portion of the emitted light may not contribute to the exposure.
(f) If a flash unit with communications capability, other than the FL-40, and its
accessories is used, the unit may not function properly and may get
damaged. Avoid the use of such flashes.
Q46: What percentage of the actual field is viewed through the finder of the C-
3030ZOOM?
A: About 80% of the actual field can be viewed through the finder. To check the image
taken by the camera, use the LCD monitor for playback. Always check details such as
the image focus, exposure etc. on a PC.
♦ Note: In the case of the C-3030ZOOM, panorama photography covering upper, lower,
left and right directions (maximum 10 frames) can be taken.

Q53: What type of communications system is used between the C-3030ZOOM and a PC?
A: The communications system is in compliance with R232C and USB, but does not
support IrDA.
Q56: What are the picture file and folder names of the C-3030ZOOM?
A: The picture file and folder names are as follows:
Structure of the picture file name
• The picture file name consists of the month and date, and the picture number.
• Example: In case of PB030020, B: the month, 03:the date, 0020:the picture number
th
of the 20 picture.
• The shooting month: 1~9, A(October), B(November), C(December)
• “P” assigned at the top of the file name stands for Picture, and is fixed.
• The picture number is managed by the camera and automatically added on up to
9999.
• When the number exceeds 9999, it goes back to 0001.
• When the SmartMedia card is replaced, the numbering system continues.
16
100 ~ 900.
• When the number exceeds 999, it goes back to 001.
• When the SmartMedia is replaced, the numbering system continues.
• When the picture number reaches to 9999, new file folder is automatically formed,
and a numeric figure for “xxx” portion of the folder name is increased by one.
Q57: How to write a picture back to the C-3030ZOOM and display on the LCD monitor.
A: A picture can be written back in two ways.
(1) The case to write back with the CAMEDIA Master using the serial cable or the USB
cable. The following pictures can be written back:
a) an original picture taken with the C-3030ZOOM,
b) a picture produced through only filtering the original picture with the CAMEDIA
Master and saved with Exif-JPEG.
However, the picture file name should be assigned as described below.
(2) When written back using the PC Card Adapter and Flash Path Adapter, a processed
picture can also be written back.
• The picture size can be changed to a size supported by the camera.
• Processed picture files are saved with the “Exif-Jpeg” format using the CAMEDIA
Master.
• Change the picture file name in accordance with the following rule.
The picture file name contains the shooting month and date, and the picture
number.
• Example: In case of PB030020, B: the shooting month, 03: the shooting date, 0020:
th
the picture number of the 20 picture.
• The shooting month: 1~9, A(October), B(November), C(December)
• “P” at the top of the file name stands for Picture, and is fixed.
• Avoid the multiple use of the picture number (lower 4 digits) in the SmartMedia
card.
• When a picture is taken after the SmartMedia card is placed in the camera, a
directory (“Dcim” – “xxxolymp”) is formed in the SmartMedia card. Processed
pictures are saved under the lowest level directory “xxxolymp”.
• Picture files with above configuration can be written back on the CAMEDIA Master,
Explore (Windows), or Finder (Macintosh).
However, in case of Macintosh, the files can not be written back with the Floppydisk
Adapter.
