COMPATIBILITY OF THE PICTURE DATA
Notes about playback
Pictures taken with this camera and recorded on a card can be played back on another
Olympus digital camera. However, there are some limitations depending on the playback
camera:
● Still pictures larger than the maximum picture size available on the playback camera
may be displayed as thumbnails.
● Pictures played back on a camera with a different picture aspect ratio will have black
frames.
● Pictures taken in the TIFF mode may not be played back. In some cases, incompatible
picture sizes may prevent playback. These limitations also apply to printing out
pictures via a camera that prints out directly to a printer.
● Movie playback time may be limited, depending on the size of the buffer memory in the
playback camera. Movies that exceed the maximum playing time cannot be played
back.
● Movie playback is not possible if the playback camera is not equipped with the same
movie picture quality settings (picture size).
