IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WATER AND SHOCK RESISTANT FEATURES

Water resistance: The waterproof feature is warranted*1 to operate at depths up to

3m (10 feet) for up to one hour. The waterproof feature may be compromised if the
camera is subject to substantial or excessive impact.

Shock resistance: The anti-shock feature warrants
against accidental impact incurred from everyday use of your digital compact camera.
The anti-shock feature does not unconditionally warrant all defective operation or
cosmetic damage. Cosmetic damage, such as scratches and dents, are not covered
under the warranty.

As with any electronic device, proper care and maintenance are required to preserve
the integrity and operation of your camera. To maintain camera performance, please

En

take your camera to the nearest Olympus Authorized Service Center to have it
inspected after any major impact. In the event the camera is damaged as a result of
negligence or misuse, the warranty will not cover costs associated with the service or
repair of your camera. For additional information on our warranty, please visit to the
Olympus website for your local area.

Please observe the following care instructions for your camera.

Before Use:

• Check the camera for foreign material including dirt, dust or sand.

• Be sure the battery compartment/card cover lock and connector cover lock are

firmly closed.

• Do not open the battery compartment/card cover and connector cover with wet
hands, while under water, or in a damp or dusty environment (e.g. beach).

After Use:

• Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris after using the camera under water.

• After the camera is used under sea water, immerse the camera in a bucket

containing fresh water for about 10 minutes (with the battery compartment/card
cover and connector cover firmly closed). After that, dry the camera in a shade with
good ventilation.

• Water drops may be observed on the inner surface of the battery compartment/
card cover or connector cover after you open each cover. If any water drops are
found, be sure to wipe them off before using the camera.

*2

the operation of the camera

Storage and Maintenance

• Do not leave the camera in an environment at high temperature (40°C or more) or
at low temperature (0°C 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.

4

• 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, see the supplied “Olympus Distributors’ List” or
visit Olympus website for your local area.

Closing Battery Compartment /Card cover and Connector cover

Connector cover

Battery Compartment/Card Cover

Note: The included accessories (e.g. charger) do not offer shock or water resistance.

*1

as determined by Olympus pressure testing equipment in accordance to IEC
Standard Publication 529 IPX8 - This means that the camera can normally be used
under water at a specified water pressure.

*2

This anti-shock performance is confirmed by Olympus’ testing conditions in
accordance with MIL-STD-810F, Method 516.5, Procedure IV (Transit Drop Test).
For more details of Olympus’ testing conditions, please refer to the Olympus
website for your local area.

vertical position, hold the camera so that the flash is positioned above the lens. Keep
your fingers and the strap away from the lens and flash.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Handling the Camera

WARNING

( Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.
( Do not use the flash 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
flash 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 firing the flash 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 flash with a hand while firing.

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 fire or burn
your hands.

( Never open or close the covers with wet hands.

• Never open or close the battery compartment / card cover and connector
cover, or pull or insert the AC adapter with wet hands. Failure to do so may
cause damage or an electric shock.

( 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 fire. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if it is covered (such
as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.

( Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature

burn.

• When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low­temperature 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

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 specified by Olympus. Charge the battery
with the specified 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

En

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, by soldering, etc.

• If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush 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 fire 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 specified 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 fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and flush the
affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the fluid burns your
skin, seek medical attention immediately.

• Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration.

CAUTION

• Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully for leaks, discoloration,
warping, or any other abnormality.

• 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.
