Caution for Usage Environment
To protect the high-precision technology contained
in this product, never leave the camera in the
places listed below, no matter if in use or storage:
Places where temperatures and/or humidity
are high or go through extreme changes.
Direct sunlight, beaches, locked cars, or near
other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or
humidifi ers.
In sandy or dusty environments.
Near fl ammable items or explosives.
In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain.
When using products with weatherproof designs,
read their manuals as well.
In places prone to strong vibrations.
Never drop the camera or subject it to severe
shocks or vibrations.
When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of
the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist the
camera.
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the
sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain
damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or
may possibly cause fi res.
Do not push or pull severely on the lens.
Before storing the camera for a long period,

The camera may malfunction if it is used in
a location where it is subject to a magnetic/
electromagnetic fi eld, radio waves, or high voltage,
such as near a TV set, microwave, video game,
loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower,
or transmission towers. In such cases, turn the
camera off and on again before further operation.
Always observe the operating environment
restrictions described in the camera’s manual.
Battery Handling Precautions
This camera uses a lithium ion battery specifi ed by
Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery.
If the battery’s terminals get wet or greasy, camera
contact failure may result. Wipe the battery well
with a dry cloth before use.
Always charge a battery when using it for the fi rst
time, or if it has not been used for a long period.
When operating the camera with battery power
at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and
spare battery as warm as possible. A battery that
has run down at low temperatures may be restored
after it is warmed at room temperature.
The number of pictures you can take may vary
depending on the shooting conditions or battery.
Before going on a long trip, and especially before
traveling abroad, purchase extra batteries. A
recommended battery may be diffi cult to obtain
while traveling.
Please recycle batteries to help save our planet’s
resources. When you throw away dead batteries,
be sure to cover their terminals and always
observe local laws and regulations.
LCD Monitor
Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the
image may become vague, resulting in a playback
mode failure or damage to the monitor.
A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the
monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
When a subject is viewed diagonally in the
camera, the edges may appear zigzagged on the
monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less
noticeable in playback mode.
In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD
monitor may take a long time to turn on or its
color may change temporarily. When using the
camera in extremely cold places, it is a good idea
to occasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD
monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low
temperatures will recover in normal temperatures.
The LCD used for the monitor is made with
high-precision technology. However, black spots
or bright spots of light may appear constantly on
the LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the
angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the
spot may not be uniform in color and brightness.
This is not a malfunction.
