After Use:
Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris
after using the camera under water.
After the camera is used under seawater,
immerse the camera in a bucket containing
fresh water for about 10 minutes (with
the battery/card compartment cover and
connector cover fi rmly closed). After
that, dry the camera in a shade with good
ventilation.
Water drops may be observed on the inner
surface of the battery/card compartment
cover or connector cover after you open
each cover. If any water drops are found,
be sure to wipe them off before using the
camera.
Notes after use
Any foreign material may be adhered to the
periphery of the lens cover, after you use
the camera in an environment containing
foreign material including dirt, dust or sand,
or when the lens cover won’t move smoothly.
If you continue to use the camera in such
a condition, the lens may be damaged or
the lens cover may become stuck, causing
a failure. To avoid such a failure, wash the
camera using the following method.
1
Insert the battery and close the battery/
card compartment cover and connector
cover fi rmly so that each lock makes the
clicking sound.
2
Fill a bucket with fresh water, immerse
the camera in the bucket with the lens
surface downward and shake the camera
thoroughly.
3
Press the
n
button several times in
the water and close/open the lens cover
repeatedly.
4
Furthermore, shake the camera further
with the cover opened.

Follow Steps
1
to
4
, then check if the lens
cover moves smoothly.
If the lens cover does not move smoothly,
rinse the lens face by placing it directly under
a strong stream of tap water and pressing the
n
button repeatedly.
Storage and Maintenance
Do not leave the camera in an environment at
high temperature (40°C (104°F) or more) or at
low temperature (0°C (32°F) or less). Failure to
do so may break down water resistance.
Do not use chemicals for cleaning, rust
prevention, anti-fogging, repairing, etc. Failure
to do so may break down water resistance.
Do not leave the camera in water for a long
time. Failure to do so will cause damage to
the camera’s appearance and/or deteriorate
water resistance.
In order to preserve the water resistant
feature, as with any underwater housing,
it is recommended that the waterproof
packing (and seals) are replaced annually.
For the Olympus distributors or service
stations where the waterproof packing can
be replaced, visit Olympus website for your
local area.
