84 EN
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.
The camera may malfunction if it is used in a location where
it is subject to a magnetic/electromagnetic fi eld, radio waves,
or high voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave, video
game, loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or
transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera off and on
again before further operation.
Always observe the operating environment restrictions
described in the camera’s manual.
Battery Handling Precautions 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.

to the monitor.

Static images displayed on organic EL monitors for extended
periods of time may “burn in”, causing a drop in brightness
or discoloration in some areas of the display, which may be
permanent in some cases. This phenomenon has no effect on
images recorded with the camera.
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.
Although the monitor is manufactured using high-precision
technology, some pixels may always be lit or may never light,
and color and brightness may vary with the viewing angle.
This is normal for this type of monitor and does not indicate a
malfunction; images recorded with the camera are unaffected.
