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.
• Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
This may cause overheating, exploding, burning,
electrical shocks, or malfunctions.
• 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 USB-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.
• 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.

tripod, rotate the tripod screw, not the camera.
• Before transporting the camera, remove a tripod and all
other non-OLYMPUS accessories.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.

may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color failure,
ghosting on the image pickup device, or may possibly
cause fi res.

• 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.
