Rotating images
Click the [Rotate] button on the thumbnail border or select [Rotate Image] from the
menu bar to rotate images.
Lossless rotation of JPEG images
Tips
With OLYMPUS Studio, JPEG images can be rotated without having to recompress the JPEG image data. This is called lossless rotation. Because
JPEG is a irreversible compression method in which the data is degraded at
the time of compression, when a compressed image is rotated and saved,
noise characteristic to JPEG appears in the image. In a lossless rotation,
however, the JPEG image can be rotated without being recompressed.
If, however, the JPEG image data that is rotated does not have height and
width as a multiple of 8, the lossless rotation is not performed immediately.
Instead, a dialog box appears, prompting you to select the processing method.
You can select either to have the image cropped and then perform a lossless
rotation or have the image rotated normally without being cropped.
Select the image that you want to rotate from the thumbnail
display area.

files with the same shooting date by the file name and add serial numbers to the file
names.
z Rename Rule
A file name is configured into three blocks: [Prefix], [Base], and [Suffix]. Optional
separator characters can be placed between the blocks. The extension is the same

F.No., Shutter, and Exposure Compensation

Each of these functions can be set with a slider. The slider can also be moved by
clicking the arrow marks on the right and left of the slider bar. These functions can
also be set by entering a value directly into the box. The aperture value, shutter
speed, and exposure compensation settings that can be configured vary depending
on the configured [Shooting Mode].
226
Camera settings
F.No.:
By decreasing the aperture value (F number), the camera will focus within a
smaller range, producing a picture with a blurred background. Increasing the value
forces the camera to focus over a wider range in the forward and backward
directions, resulting in a picture in which both the subject and the background are in
focus.
The aperture value can be set when [Shooting Mode] is set to [A] or [M].
The range of the aperture value and step width that can be set vary according to the
setting of [EV Step] on [Custom Menu].
Shutter:
A fast shutter speed can enable you to clearly capture a moving subject. A slow
shutter speed blurs a moving subject, giving the impression of movement.
The shutter speed can be set when [Shooting Mode] is set to [S] or [M].
When [Shooting Mode] is set to [M], Bulb is the slowest shutter speed setting.
When entering the shutter speed directly into the box, enter 2000, for example, to
set the shutter speed to 1/2000 sec. Enter 2/ to set it to 2 sec.
The range of the shutter speed and step width that can be set vary according to the
setting of [EV Step] on [Custom Menu].
Exposure Compensation:
This can be used to change the appropriate exposure value set by the camera.

Setting the [Color Management] tab

Select the [Color Management] tab to make color management settings.
The colors of the same image may look different on different monitors or printers.
The system used to prevent this color inconsistency is called color management.
The color reproduction area that can be rendered by monitors, printers, and other
input/output devices is defined using color space. The color reproduction area
varies depending on the input/output device; therefore, profiles are used to
correct the differences in color. A profile is automatically embedded in an image
when an image is saved, and the profiles used for the monitor display and printing
of images are configured separately by the OS. The [Color Management] tab can
be used to cancel the embedding of a profile when an image is saved and
configured not to use the profiles set by the OS. After confirming the OS setting,
you can change the settings in the [Color Management] tab as needed.
Confirming the OS profile settings

Follow the steps below to check how the profile used when displaying images on
the monitor, and the profile used when printing images are set in the OS. Each

Glossary of terms
*.oef
This extension indicates an image
file format used exclusively for
OLYMPUS Studio. When
development processed RAW data
is saved in *.oef format, only the
image processing results are saved
and the original RAW data is left
untouched. When a saved *.oef file
is opened, an image is displayed
with the image processing results
applied to the original RAW data.
The *.oef format can only be set for
RAW data.
*.osf
This extension indicates the format
for an image processing file. This file
format is selected when saving the
image processing settings applied to
a specific image as a file. This file
can then be used to apply previous
image processing settings to
another file.
Appendices
288
Batch Processing
This function can be used to apply
the selected image processing to
several image files. With OLYMPUS
Studio, images in several files or
folders can be edited at the same
time.
Bitmap
This format is used to manage data
by assigning an address to each
pixel. In Macintosh, this also refers
to a graphic or text displayed as a
combination of pixels. The bitmap
file format is commonly used in
Windows. This bitmap data relies on
a device and does not contain
palette information.
Color Space
This is the defined color
reproduction area. The color
reproduction area varies depending
on the printer, monitor, or other
input/output device; therefore, to
ensure a uniform color environment
from input to output, color space
must be used to manage the varying
color reproduction areas.
DCF
Design rule for Camera File system.
This image format enables the
sharing of image files recorded
using digital cameras from different
manufacturers.
Exif
Exchangeable Image File Format.
This is an image file format with an
embedded thumbnail images or
shooting information and based on
the JPEG image file format.
IEEE1394 (FireWire)
This is a standard for connecting a
computer with an external device.
An IEEE1394 (FireWire) cable
conforms to this standard and is
used to connect a digital camera or
digital video camera. Because this
type of cable has a fast transfer rate
of 400 Mbps, it is able to transfer
large amounts of data very quickly. It
also supports a function
(Isochronous transmission) that
guarantees regular data
transmission.
Glossary of terms
JPEG
This is a file format for compressing
and saving images. Some of the
information is removed from the
image, thereby compressing and
recording the image data to a
smaller file size. Although the image
quality deteriorates slightly when the
image data is compressed, you are
able to save more images with the
same disk space.
PICT
This is a format for saving image
data. It is a standard graphic format
in Macintosh. It can contain both a
bitmap and draw object. This format
can be used with 24-bit color or 256
shade grayscale. PICT files can be
written and read by most graphic
software and by Simple Text, and
are therefore commonly used when
sending and receiving data across
different software applications.
PNG
Portable Network Graphics. This file
format was developed because of
the image data deterioration of
JPEG and the patent issues
surrounding the GIF format. PNG
offers a very high compression rate.
TIFF
This is a file format for saving
images. When an image is saved
without being compressed, the file
size may be large, but there is little
deterioration of the image quality.
This format is good for saving an
image that will be printed at a larger
size.
USB
Universal Serial Bus. This is a
standard for connecting a computer
with an external device. A USB
cable conforms to this standard and
is used to connect a digital camera
or printer. A USB cable can be
disconnected while the USB device
is still on, and it also enables the
connection of several USB devices
at the same time. USB 1.1 has a
transfer rate of 12 Mbps and USB
2.0 has a transfer rate of 480 Mbps.
Appendices
Profile
This is a color properties file. It
defines the color reproduction area
properties of input and output
devices. The color management
system uses a profile to correct the
color differences between devices
and convert the data when an image
is input or output to or from a device.
and an image is shot, the image is

saved as RAW data. RAW data is
the original data from the charged
coupled device (CCD) that has not
been developed inside the camera.
The image processing functions of
OLYMPUS Studio can be used to
develop the image. Changes to the
development process settings are
saved with *.orf as the extension for
the Olympus RAW File format data.
When saved RAW data is opened,
an image is displayed with the
settings in the header applied. To
use this RAW data with a different
application, you must first convert
the data to JPEG or similar file
format.

Olympus camera is set to [RAW]
