Safety precautions

Important Information About Water And Shock Resistant Features

Water resistance: The waterproof feature is warranted*1 to operate at depths up to 3m

(9.8 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*2 the operation of the camera 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 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 to close the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover firmly so that each lock makes clicking sound.

• Do not open the battery/card compartment 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/card compartment 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/card

compartment 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.

Notes after use

• Any foreign material may be adhered to the periphery of the lens cover, after you use the camera in an environment containing foreign material including dirt, dust or sand, or when the lens cover won’t move smoothly. If you continue to use the camera in such a condition, the lens may be damaged or the lens cover may become stuck, causing a failure. To avoid such a failure, wash the camera using the following method.

1 Insert the battery and close the battery/card

compartment cover and connector cover firmly so that each lock makes the clicking sound.

2 Fill a bucket with fresh water, immerse the

camera in the bucket with the lens surface downward and shake the camera thoroughly.

3 Press the o button several times in the

water and close/open the lens cover repeatedly.

4 Furthermore, shake the camera further with the cover opened. Follow the steps 1 to 4, then check if the lens cover moves smoothly.

If the lens cover does not move smoothly, rinse the lens face by placing it directly under a strong stream of tap water and pressing the o button repeatedly.

Storage and Maintenance

• Do not leave the camera in an environment at high temperature (40°C (104°F) or more) or at low temperature (-10°C (14°F) 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, visit Olympus website for your local area.

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 be used normally 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.

Handling the Camera

WARNING

( Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases. ( Do not use the flash 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 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.

( 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,

( Be careful with the strap.

( Do not touch the metallic parts of the camera for a long period of

wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.

• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects - and cause serious damage.
