Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing or touch it after it has just been fired. It may
be hot and cause minor burns. Avoid using the flash for extended periods.
Do not take apart or modify the camera.
Never attempt to disassemble the camera. The internal circuits contain high voltage
points which could cause serious burns or electrical shock.
Do not let water or foreign objects inside the camera.
If the camera is accidentally dropped in water, or if liquid is spilled into the camera, stop
using it, allow it to dry, and then remove the battery. Contact the nearest authorized
Olympus service center.
CAUTION
Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or
smoke around it.
If you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera during operation,
switch it off immediately — and disconnect a specified AC adapter (if attached). Allow the
camera to sit idle for a few minutes to cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from
flammable objects, and carefully remove the battery. Never remove the battery with bare
hands, which may cause a fire or burn your hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service
center immediately.
Do not use the camera with wet hands.
To avoid dangerous electrical shock, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
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 fire. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket).
This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.
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.
Use only the AC adapter specified by Olympus.
Never use any AC adapter except one specified by Olympus. Using a different AC
adapter may damage the camera or power source, or result in accidents or fire. Ensure
the adapter used is designed for your region or country. For more information, contact the
nearest Olympus service center or the store of purchase. Olympus makes no
representations or warranties regarding any damages caused by AC adapters not
recommended by Olympus.
Do not damage the power-supply cord.
Never pull or modify the power-supply cord of the AC adapter or accessories. Make sure only
the plug is securely held during insertion and removal from the outlet. Stop using the camera
immediately, and contact the nearest Olympus service center or the store of purchase if:
• The power-supply cord becomes hot, or it gives off smoke or unusual odors.
• The power-supply cord is cut or damaged, or the plug has a faulty contact.
