Control Olympus E520 Camera Settings With A Computer

Controlling your Olympus camera through your computer can be easier than fiddling with tricking menus on the camera. You can control your camera from a PC when connected to the software included in the bundle Olympus "Studio 2." Controlling from the PC stores the images directly onto the hard drive rather than having to do a memory card transfer. It also allows you to capture images, change exposure modes and choose various exposure settings, while seeing the preview on a much bigger screen than the camera viewfinder.








Instructions


1. Connect your Olympus E520 to your PC with the provided USB cable. Turn the camera on.


2. Click "Launch Olympus Studio" in the pop-up window. Click "PC Control."








3. Click on the "Shooting/Camera Settings" button in the "Settings" bar on the right-hand side of the window.


4. Adjust the language, date and exposure settings on the camera in the settings bar. To return to the "Default Settings" click on the drop-down menu and select "Default Settings." Click the "+" button to add saved settings for the camera.
