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
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.
●
Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
●
Do 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.
●
Condensation 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.
●
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
●
If the camera has not been used for a long time, mold may form or the camera may
malfunction. Before using the camera, check that the camera works properly.
Battery handling precautions
●
This camera uses an lithium ion battery specified 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 first 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 the 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 difficult 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.
