I bought an Olympus SP -800Uz in Las Vegas U.S.A. Should it have had seperate software in the box, Joan U.K.

The Olympus SP-800uz digital camera does not come with a CD.
All PC software is delivered on the cameras internal memory (setup.exe).

When you need software, you can also use the better and free
Olympus Viewer 2 program for PC and Mac.

1. See the Olympus SP-800uz user manual for explaining the different SCENES.

2. See manual page 22 is explaining the Firework scene.

The Olympus SP-800uz camera does not come with a CDROM.

The software for Windows is available on the internal memory of the camera, if you did not format / delete it! If you are using Windows, the software should popup a message to install it, when there is no SD-card installed in the camera (only internal memory), if you connect the camera to the computer.

As an alternative, you can download another free and much better Olympus software program, the Olympus Viewer 2. See here (you need to put in your cameras serial number to download it):

Are you talking about the camera's LED screen, or your computer monitor screen?
Anyway, the Olympus SP-800uz camera has 4:3 image sizes and widescreen 16:9.
Just set your camera to the size you need to get your images shown fullscreen.
An alternative is to use a graphic (or tool) program that is able to crop your images.

The Olympus initialization [ib] software is loaded on the internal memory of the Olympus Sp-800uz camera. If you are using a SD / SDHC memorycard, take it out of the camera and reconnect the camera to the computer. If the camera does not pop-up a message to install the software, look with e.g. the windows explorer if there is any Removeable Device which corresponds with the memory of the camera. If there is, open it and look for a setup.exe program. If available, run it to install the software.

If you have installed the [ib] software from the camera, this program seems to be very unstable and buggy. I would recommend to use the new Olympus Viewer 2 software instead. De-install the [ib] software and download and install the (free) Olympus Viewer 2 software. It supports the SP-800uz.

You need to put in your camera serialnumber to be able to download it.

The Olympus SP-800uz users manual can also be downloaded:

The Olympus [ib] software is on the cameras internal memory, if you did not format (delete) it. Look there for the setup.exe and run it. Although the best alternative free Olympus software is Olympus viewer 2 which replaces also Olympus Master 2:

Zooming when recording video on the Olympus SP-800uz is only possible when the sound is set to off. Set the zoom to the setting you want before recording, after that start recording.
