• (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.

Other types of cards cannot be inserted into microSD Attachment.

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 microSD 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.

Battery Handling Precautions

Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.

DANGER

•

The camera uses a lithium ion battery speciﬁ ed by Olympus. Charge the battery with the speciﬁ ed charger. Do not use any other chargers.

•

Never heat or incinerate batteries.

•

Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.

•

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.

•

•

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.
