Safety precautions
z When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a
low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:
• When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to the camera in
this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the camera’s
body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves
when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
z Do not damage the power cable.
Do not pull on the charger’s cable or add another cable to it. Be sure to connect
or disconnect the charger’s cable while holding the power plug. If the following
cases occur, stop using and contact an Olympus dealer or authorized customer
support center.
• The power plug or cable produces heat, burning smell, or smoke.
• The power plug or cable is cracked or broken. The contact is bad on the power plug.
