CARE AND STORAGE

HANDLING

nDo not use or store the camera in places exposed to direct sunlight (e.g. a beach in summer), excessive heat, humidity, extreme variations of temperature and humidity, sand or dust, excessive moisture, or vibrations (e.g. in a car).

nDo not use or store the camera near a heater, cooler, or humidifier, or near a fire, magnetic fields, or volatile materials.

nDo not shake the camera or subject it to shocks.

nDo not leave the camera with its lens pointing towards direct sunlight. This will damage the lens.

nDo not leave the camera unused for a long period of time. This may cause battery leakage and can lead to problems including the growth of mold in the camera. Before using, press the Shutter release button to check operation.

nDo not turn the camera when it is mounted on a tripod. Turn the tripod head instead.

nDo not touch any of the camera’s internal parts.

nDo not use the flash for extended periods as this can cause the flash to become excessively hot. Do not touch the flash when it is hot.

nDo not improperly open or modify the camera, as it may result in a shock or injury.

12

BATTERY HANDLING

nThis camera uses four AA NiMH batteries, AA alkaline batteries, AA lithium batteries or AA NiCd batteries. Two CR-V3 lithium battery packs can also be used. (Olympus brand recommended.)

nPerformance will be limited with alkaline batteries, especially in low temperatures. NiMH batteries are recommended.

nAA manganese batteries cannot be used.

nUse the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause fluid leakage, heat generation, or other damage. When replacing batteries, be sure to load them correctly.

nThe batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera and batteries warm when using the camera in a cold environment. Batteries that are weak in cold temperatures will be restored under normal temperatures.

nSweat, oil, etc. can prevent a battery’s terminals from making electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before loading the battery.

nKeep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.

nWhen using NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries, make sure to charge them fully with the correct battery charger.

nRead instructions carefully before handling NiMH batteries or NiCd batteries.

nNEVER use any battery whose body is not covered by the insulating sheet, as it may cause a fire or injury.

nRecommended Temperature when Using NiMH Batteries Operation: 32 ~ 104°F, Charge: 32 ~ 104°F, Storage: -4 ~ 86°F

(Usage outside this temperature range may limit battery performance or shorten battery life. Unload batteries from the camera when not in use.)
