Safety precautions
CAUTION
Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke
around it.
â—ŹIf you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera during operation, switch it
off immediately —and disconnect a specified AC adapter (if attached). Allow the camera to sit
idle for a few minutes to cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from flammable objects, and
carefully remove the battery. Never remove the battery with bare hands, which may cause a fire
or burn your hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service center immediately.
Do not use the camera with wet hands.
â—ŹTo avoid dangerous electrical shock, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. Also, do
not connect or disconnect the power plug with wet hands.
Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to extremely high
temperatures.
â—ŹDoing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause the camera to catch
fire. Do not use the cradle or AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause
overheating, resulting in fire.
Be careful with the strap.
●Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects —and
cause serious damage.
Use only the AC adapter specified by Olympus.
â—ŹNever use any AC adapter except one specified by Olympus. Using a different AC adapter may
damage the camera or power source, or result in accidents or fire. Ensure the adapter used is
designed for your region or country. For more information, contact the nearest Olympus service
center or the store of purchase. Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding any
damages caused by AC adapters not recommended by Olympus.
Do not damage the power-supply cord.
â—ŹNever pull or modify the power-supply cord. Make sure only the plug is securely held during
insertion and removal from the outlet.
Stop using the camera immediately, and contact the nearest Olympus service center or the store
of purchase if:
– The power-supply cord becomes hot, or it gives off smoke or unusual odors.
– The power-supply cord is cut or damaged, or the plug has a faulty contact.
â—ŹTo 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
humidifiers.
– In sandy or dusty environments.
– Near flammable items or explosives.
– In wet places, such as bathrooms or in the rain.
– In places prone to strong vibrations.
â—ŹNever drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
â—ŹWhen mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist
the camera.
â—ŹDo not touch electric contacts on cameras.
â—ŹDo not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens damage, color failure,
ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly cause fires.
â—ŹCondensation may form inside the camera when there is a sudden extreme change in
temperature (such as when moving from indoors to outdoors). Acclimatize the camera to the
temperature (e.g. by putting the camera into the plastic bag) before use.

Safety precautions
Follow these important guidelines to prevent the battery from leaking, overheating,
burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.
Battery handling precautions
DANGER
â—ŹThis camera uses an lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Do not use any other type of
battery. Using any other type of battery could result in battery leakage or overheating, posing a
risk of fire or explosion. For safe and proper use, read the battery’s instruction manual carefully
before using it.
â—ŹNever heat or incinerate the battery.
â—ŹTake precautions when carrying or storing the battery to prevent it from coming into contact with
any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.
â—ŹNever store the battery where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to high
temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc.
â—ŹTo prevent causing battery leaks or damaging its terminals, carefully follow all instructions
regarding the use of the battery. Never attempt to disassemble the battery or modify it in any
way, by soldering, etc.
â—ŹIf battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately with clear, cold running water and
seek medical attention immediately.
â—ŹAlways store the battery out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows the
battery, seek medical attention immediately.
WARNING
â—ŹKeep the battery dry at all times. Never allow it to come into contact with fresh or salt water.
â—ŹIf the rechargeable battery has not been recharged within the specified time, stop charging it and
do not use it.
â—ŹDo not use the battery if it is cracked or broken.
â—ŹIf the battery leaks, becomes discolored or deformed, or becomes abnormal in any other way
during operation, stop using the camera and consult your dealer or an authorized Olympus
service center. Continued use may result in fire or electric shock.
â—ŹIf the battery leaks fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and flush the affected
area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek medical
attention immediately.
â—ŹNever attempt to modify the battery compartment on the camera, never insert anything (other
than the specified battery) into the compartment.
â—ŹNever subject the battery to strong shocks or continuous vibration.
CAUTION
●If the battery’s +/– terminals get wet or greasy, camera contact failure may result. Wipe the
battery well with the dry cloth before use.
â—ŹAlways charge a battery when using it for the first time, or if it has not been used for a long
period.
â—ŹThe battery may become hot during prolonged use. To avoid minor burns, do not remove it
immediately after using the camera.
â—ŹWhen operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and
spare the battery as warm as possible. The battery which run down at low temperatures may be
restored after it is warmed at room temperature.
â—ŹThe number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting conditions or battery.
â—ŹBefore going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase extra batteries.
A recommended battery may be difficult to obtain while traveling.
