Charging the battery with the included USB-AC adapter

The included F-2AC USB-AC adapter (hereafter

referred to as USB-AC adapter) differs depending on the region where you purchased the camera. If you received a plug-in type USB-AC adapter, plug it directly into AC outlet.

The included USB-AC adapter has been designed

to be used for charging and playback. Do not take pictures while the USB-AC adapter is connected to the camera.

Be sure to unplug the power plug of the USB-AC

adapter from the wall outlet when the charging is complete or the playback ends.

The battery can be charged while the camera is

connected to the computer. Charging time varies depending on the performance of a computer. (There may be cases in which it takes approx. 10 hours.)

Before Using GPS

The camera’s GPS (Global Positioning System) feature determines your position (latitude and longitude) and stores this information with pictures taken with the camera. The camera uses supplementary orbital data (assisted GPS or A-GPS) for improved signal acquisition. A-GPS data must be updated every 14 days. Before using GPS, you will need to set the camera clock to the correct date and time. (p. 15)

Updating A-GPS Data

Install the update software (OLYMPUS A-GPS

Utility).

●

Download the update software from the following website and install it on your computer. http://sdl.olympus-imaging.com/agps/

Connect the camera to the computer and

launch the update software.

“Connecting the camera” (p. 12)

Once the software has started, follow the on-screen

instructions.

Using GPS

Select [On] for [GPS Settings] > [GPS] in the

GPS devices. Follow all local regulations.

Turn GPS off when on board aircraft and in other

locations in which the use of GPS devices is prohibited.

The provision of A-GPS data may be terminated

● Locations subject to strong magnetic or radio

interference (near high-voltage power lines,

magnets, electronic devices, or cell phones

operating in the 1.5 GHz band)

GPS data may take more time acquire or be

unavailable in some locations or at certain times of day.

Do not cover the GPS antenna with your hands or

metal objects.

If the battery is low, the camera cannot acquire GPS
