Olympus SZ-16 Instruction Manual

EN

 

• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young 

children and infants to prevent the following dangerous 
situations which could cause serious injury:

 

• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing 

strangulation.

 

• Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small 

parts.

 

• Accidentally fi ring the fl ash into their own eyes or those of 

another child.

 

• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the 

camera.

FlashAir cards only. Never use other types of cards.
If you accidently insert another type of card into the camera, 
contact an authorized distributor or service center. Do not try to 
remove the card by force.

 

• Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which may 

cause a fi re or burn your hands.

 

• Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.

This may cause overheating, exploding, burning, electrical 
shocks, or malfunctions.

 

• 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.

 

• 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 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.
