Important information about water and shock resistant features

Water resistance: The waterproof feature is warranted*1 to operate at depths up to 10 m (32.8 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.

*1 As determined by Olympus pressure testing

equipment in accordance with IEC Standard Publication 529 IPX8 - This means that the camera can be used normally under water at a speciﬁ ed water pressure.

*2 This anti-shock performance is conﬁ rmed 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.

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 ﬁ rmly 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 seawater, immerse the camera in a bucket containing fresh water for about 10 minutes (with the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover ﬁ rmly 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

Foreign materials may be attached to the

•

periphery of the lens cover from using the camera in conditions with foreign materials such as dirt, dust or sand, or when the lens cover is not moving smoothly. If you continue to use the camera in such conditions, the lens could become damaged or the lens cover could stick causing additional damage to the camera. To avoid such damage, wash the camera using the following method.

1 Insert the battery and close the battery/

card compartment cover and connector cover ﬁ rmly 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 n 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 n 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

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.

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.

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 or AC adapter 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.

Do not touch the metallic parts of the camera

• for a long period of time at low temperatures.

This may damage your skin. At low

•

temperatures, handle the camera while wearing gloves.

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 AC adaptor or charger. Do not use any other AC adaptors or 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.

•

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 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.

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. The altitude/depth measurement function is

•

not approved by an ofﬁ cial institution. Use the readings only for your reference.

Battery Handling Precautions

This camera uses a lithium ion battery speciﬁ ed by

•

Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery. 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.
