Safety precautions
z Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
If not, the following dangerous situations may occur:
• Becoming entangled in the camera strap or power cords, causing strangulation. If
this happens, follow the doctor’s instructions.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery or other small parts.
• Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.
z Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
Using or storing the camera in dusty or humid places may result in a fire or
electric shock.
z Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
Do not cover the flash or touch it after it has just been fired sequentially. It may
be hot and cause minor burns.
z Do not take apart or modify the camera.
Never attempt to disassemble the camera. The internal circuits contain high
voltage points which could cause serious burns or electrical shock.
z Do not let water or foreign objects inside the camera.
A fire or electric shock may result. If the camera is accidentally dropped in water,
or if liquid is spilled into the camera, stop using it, allow it to dry, and then remove
the battery. Contact the nearest authorized Olympus service center.
z Do not touch the battery or the battery charger while battery charging
is in progress.
Wait until charging is complete and the battery has cooled.
The battery and battery charger become hot while charging. At these times, they
may cause minor burns.
z Do not use a non-specified battery and/or charger.
Use of a non-designated battery and/or re-charger may lead to camera or battery
failure as well as other unexpected accidents. Any accidents resulting from use
of non-designated equipment will not be compensated.
CAUTION
z Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors,
noise, or smoke around it.
If you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera during
operation, switch it off immediately — and remove the battery. Allow the camera
to sit idle for a few minutes to cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from
flammable objects, and carefully remove the battery. Never remove the battery
with bare hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service center immediately.
z Do not use the camera with wet hands.
Damage or electric shock may result. Also, do not connect or disconnect the
power plug with wet hands.
z Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera.
It could easily catch on stray objects — and cause serious damage.
z Do not leave the camera in areas subject to extremely high
temperature.
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the
camera to catch fire.
