• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It 

could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious 
damage.

 

• 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 monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or 
transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera off and 
remove the battery, then reinsert it and turn the camera on 
again before further operation.

 

• Always observe the operating environment restrictions 

described in the camera’s manual.

Follow these important guidelines 

to prevent batteries from leaking, 

overheating, burning, exploding, or 

causing electrical shocks or burns.

 DANGER

 

• The camera uses a lithium ion battery specifi ed by Olympus.

Charge the battery with the specifi ed USB-AC adapter or 
charger. Do not use any other USB-AC dapters or chargers.

 

• Never heat or incinerate batteries.

 

• Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to 

prevent them from coming into contact with any metal 
objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.

 

• Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct 

sunlight, or subjected to high temperatures in a hot vehicle, 
near a heat source, etc.

 

• To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their 

terminals, carefully follow all instructions regarding the use of 
batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a battery or modify 
it in any way, solder, etc.

 

• If battery fl uid gets into your eyes, fl ush your eyes 

immediately with clear, cold running water and seek medical 
attention immediately.

 

• Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a 

child accidentally swallows a battery, seek medical attention 
immediately.

 

• If you cannot remove the battery from the camera, contact 

an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to 
remove the battery by force.
Damage to the battery exterior (scratches, etc.) may produce 
heat or an explosion.

 WARNING

 

• Keep batteries dry at all times.

 

• To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing 

a fi re or explosion, use only batteries recommended for use 
with this product.

 

• Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating 

instructions.

 

• If rechargeable batteries have not been recharged within the 

specifi ed 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 fl uid onto your clothing or skin, remove the 

clothing and fl ush the affected area with clean, running cold 
water immediately. If the fl uid 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 one Olympus lithium ion battery. Use the 

specifi ed genuine battery.
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with a 
non-specifi ed.

 

• Power consumption by the camera varies depending on 

which functions are used.

 

• During the conditions described below, power is consumed 

continuously and the battery becomes exhausted quickly.

 

• The zoom is used repeatedly.

 

• The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in 

shooting mode, activating the auto focus.

 

• A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended 

period of time.

 

• The camera is connected to a printer.

 

• Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn 

off without displaying the battery level warning.

 

• The Olympus lithium ion battery is designed to be used only 

for the Olympus digital camera. Do not use the battery to 
other devices.

 

• 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.

 

• 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.
