 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.
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. 
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.
Do not get water or sand on the camera when 
using it at the beach or in sandy places as this 
may lead to damage or malfunction.
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 
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.
Always observe the operating environment 
restrictions described in the camera’s manual.




Battery Handling Precautions
This camera uses a lithium ion battery specifi ed 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 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.
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 diffi cult 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.
