If the
fl
uid burns your skin, seek medical
attention immediately.
Never subject batteries to strong shocks or
continuous vibration.
CAUTION
Before loading, always inspect the battery
carefully for leaks, discoloration, warping, or
any other abnormality.
The battery may become hot during
prolonged use. To avoid minor burns, do not
remove it immediately after using the camera.
Always unload the battery from the camera
before storing the camera for a long period.
This camera uses a lithium ion battery
speci
fi
ed 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
fi
rst 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 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
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.

Near
fl
ammable items or explosives.
In wet places, such as bathrooms
or in the rain. When using products
with weatherproof designs, read their
manuals as well.
In places prone to strong vibrations.
Never drop the camera or subject it to
severe shocks or vibrations.
When mounted on a tripod, adjust the
position of the camera with the tripod head.
Do not twist the camera.
Do not leave the camera pointed directly
at the sun. This may cause lens or shutter
curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on
the image pickup device, or may possibly
cause
fi
res.
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras
and interchangeable lenses. Remember to
attach the body cap when removing the lens.
Before storing the camera for a long period,
remove the battery. Select a cool, dry
location for storage to prevent condensation
or mold from forming inside the camera.
After storage, test the camera by turning it
on and pressing the shutter release button
to make sure that it is operating normally.
Always observe the operating environment
restrictions described in the camera's
manual.
Do not directly touch or wipe the image
pickup device of the camera.
LCD Monitor
Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise
the image may become vague, resulting in
a playback mode failure or damage to the
monitor.
A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom
of the monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
When a subject is viewed diagonally in the
camera, the edges may appear zigzagged
on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it
will be less noticeable in playback mode.
In places subject to low temperatures, the
LCD monitor may take a long time to turn on
or its color may change temporarily.
When using the camera in extremely cold
places, it is a good idea to occasionally
place it in a warm place. An LCD monitor
exhibiting poor performance due to low
temperatures will recover in normal
temperatures.
The LCD used for the monitor is made with
high-precision technology. However, black
spots or bright spots of light may appear
constantly on the LCD Monitor.
