• 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.

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.

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 attaching the camera to or removing it from a 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.

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 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 screen 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.
