Handling the Camera

WARNING

Do not use the camera near fl ammable or

•
explosive gases.
Do not use the fl ash and LED on people

•
(infants, small children, etc.) at close range.

You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the

•

faces of your subjects. Firing the fl ash too close
to the subject’s eyes could cause a momentary
loss of vision.

Keep young children and infants away from

•
the camera.

Always use and store the camera out of the

•

reach of young children and infants to prevent
the following dangerous situations which could
cause serious injury:

Becoming entangled in the camera strap,

•

causing strangulation.
Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or

•

other small parts.
Accidentally fi ring the fl ash into their own eyes

•

or those of another child.
Accidentally being injured by the moving parts

•

of the camera.

Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the

•
camera.
Do not use or store the camera in dusty or

•
humid places.
Do not cover the fl ash with a hand while fi ring.

•
Do not insert anything into the microSD

•
Attachment other than the microSD card.

This attachment is exclusive for use of microSD
cards only. Other types of cards cannot be
installed.

Do not insert anything other than an xD-Picture

•
Card or the microSD Attachment into the
camera.

If you insert a card by mistake, such as a microSD
card, do not use force. Contact authorized
distributors/service centers. Damages such as
scratches on the attachment or card could result in
the camera overheating and/or malfunctioning.

CAUTION

Stop using the camera immediately if you

•
notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.

Never remove the batteries with bare hands,

•

which may cause a fi re or burn your hands.

Never hold or operate the camera with wet

•
hands.
Do not leave the camera in places where it may

•
be subject to extremely high temperatures.

Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in

•

some circumstances, cause the camera to catch
fi re. Do not use the charger if it is covered (such
as a blanket). This could cause overheating,
resulting in fi re.

Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a

•
low-temperature burn.

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.

Be careful with the strap.

•

Be careful with the strap when you carry the

•

camera. It could easily catch on stray objects
and cause serious damage.

•

Never store batteries where they will be
exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to high
temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source,
etc.

•

To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their
terminals, carefully follow all instructions regarding
the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble
a battery or modify it in any way, solder, etc.

•

If battery fl uid gets into your eyes, fl ush your eyes
immediately with clear, cold running water and
seek medical attention immediately.

•

Always store batteries out of the reach of small
children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery,
seek medical attention immediately.

WARNING

Keep batteries dry at all times.

•

To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating,

•

or causing a fi re or explosion, use only batteries
recommended for use with this product.
Insert the battery carefully as described in the

•

operating instructions.
If rechargeable batteries have not been recharged

•

within the specifi ed time, stop charging them and
do not use them.
Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken.

•

If a battery leaks, becomes discolored or

•

deformed, or becomes abnormal in any other way
during operation, stop using the camera.
If a battery leaks fl uid onto your clothing or skin,

•

remove the clothing and fl ush the affected area
with clean, running cold water immediately. If
the fl uid burns your skin, seek medical attention

•

CAUTION

•

Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully

•

The battery may become hot during prolonged
use. To avoid minor burns, do not remove it
immediately after using the camera.

•

Always unload the battery from the camera before
storing the camera for a long period.

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,

•

remove the batteries. Select a cool, dry location
for storage to prevent condensation or mold from
forming inside the camera. After storage, test the
camera by turning it on and pressing the shutter
button to make sure that it is operating normally.
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. For
safe and proper use, read the battery’s instruction
manual carefully before using it.
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.
