Important safety instructions
Handling the Camera
WARNING
1
Use caution when taking flash pictures at close range. When you
fire the flash, you must be at least 3 ft. away from the faces of your
subjects, especially when taking pictures of infants and small
children. Firing the flash too close to the subject's eyes could cause
a momentary loss of vision.
2
To avoid damaging your eyes, never aim the camera directly into the
sun, or any other extremely bright light source.
3
To avoid causing a fire or explosion, never use the camera near
flammable or explosive gases.
4
Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children
and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which
could cause serious injury:
• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing a battery or small part.
• Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or into the eyes of
another child.
5
To avoid the hazards of fire or electrical shock, store the camera in a
cool, dry location where it will not be subjected to high humidity or
dust.
6
To avoid minor burns, never cover the flash with your hand when it
is fired. Never touch the flash unit after continuous use. The flash
unit becomes very hot during continuous operation.
7
If the camera is accidentally dropped in water, or if liquid is spilled
into the camera, stop using the camera, allow the camera to dry,
and then remove the batteries. Contact the nearest Olympus
authorized service center.
