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.

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.

• 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.
