Caution for Usage Environment
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, such as
in direct sunlight, at beaches, in 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 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 possibly fires.
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.
Always observe the operating environment
restrictions described in the camera’s manual.

Battery Handling Precautions
This camera uses a lithium-ion battery specified 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 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.
LCD Monitor
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.
