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
humidi
fi
ers.

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

Battery Handling Precautions
Battery Handling Precautions
Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas) are intended
for use only with Olympus digital cameras. Never use these
batteries with any other device.
Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some areas) before
using them for the
fi
rst time, or if they have not been used for
a long period.
Always charge sets of batteries (included in some areas) (2
or 4) together.
Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary.
In some cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service
life than NiMH. Alkaline battery performance is limited,
especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is
recommended.
AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with
this camera.
When operating the camera with battery power at low
temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare batteries
as warm as possible. Batteries which run down at low
temperatures may be restored after they are warmed at room
temperature.
Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:
Operation ....................................... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Charge ........................................... 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage ..........................................-20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)
Using, charging or storing the batteries outside these ranges
could shorten battery life or affect battery performance. Always
unload the batteries from the camera before storing the
camera for a long period.
Before using NiMH batteries, always read the provided
instructions.
The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on
the shooting conditions or batteries.
Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling
abroad, purchase an ample supply of extra batteries. The
recommended batteries may be dif
fi
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.
