• If rechargeable batteries have not been recharged within the specified 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 fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and flush the affected area with clean,
running cold water immediately. If the fluid 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.
• This camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery. For safe
and proper use, read the battery’s instruction manual carefully before using it.
• 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 first 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 difficult 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 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 humidifiers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near flammable 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 leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color
failure, ghosting on the image pickup device, or may possibly cause fires.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras and interchangeable lenses. Remember to attach the body cap
when removing the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. 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 release button to make sure that it is operating normally.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera’s manual.
• 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.
