 PRECAUTIONS

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 a lithium ion battery 
specifi ed by Olympus. Do not use any 
other type of battery. For safe and proper 
use, read the battery's instruction manual 
carefully before using it.
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.
When the camera will not be used for an 
extended period, store it in a cool place.
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.
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.
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 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 touch electric contacts on cameras 
and interchangeable lenses. Remember to 
attach the body cap when removing the lens.
Before storing the camera for a long period, 
remove the battery. 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 release 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 on 
again before further operation.
Always observe the operating environment 
restrictions described in the camera's manual.
Do not directly touch or wipe the image 
pickup device of the camera.
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.
