Notes after use
• Any foreign material may be adhered to the periphery of the lens cover, after you use the camera
in an environment containing foreign material including dirt, dust or sand, or when the lens cover
won’t move smoothly.
If you continue to use the camera in such a condition, the lens may be damaged or the lens cover
may become stuck, causing a failure. To avoid such a failure, wash the camera using the following
method.
1Insert the battery and close the battery/card
compartment cover and connector cover firmly
so that each lock makes the clicking sound.
2Fill a bucket with fresh water, immerse the
camera in the bucket with the lens surface
downward and shake the camera thoroughly.
3Press the o button several times in the
water and close/open the lens cover repeatedly.
4Furthermore, shake the camera further with the
cover opened.
Follow the steps 1 to 4, then check if the lens cover moves smoothly.
If the lens cover does not move smoothly, rinse the lens face by placing it directly under a strong
stream of tap water and pressing the o button repeatedly.
Storage and Maintenance
• Do not leave the camera in an environment at high temperature (40°C (104°F) or more) or at low
temperature (-10°C (14°F) or less). Failure to do so may break down water resistance.
• Do not use chemicals for cleaning, rust prevention, anti-fogging, repairing, etc.
• Failure to do so may break down water resistance.
• Do not leave the camera in water for a long time. Failure to do so will cause damage to the camera’s
appearance and/or deteriorate water resistance.
• In addition do not pour water over the camera directly from the water faucet.
• In order to preserve the water resistant feature, as with any underwater housing, it is
recommended that the waterproof packing (and seals) are replaced annually.
For the Olympus distributors or service stations where the waterproof packing can be
replaced, visit Olympus website for your local area.
