Safety precautions
●
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.
●
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.
●
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras and interchangeable lenses. Remember
to attach the cap when removing the lens.
●
Do not place the camera near anything that could be affected by magnetism (e.g.
credit card, floppy disk, etc.). Doing so may destroy the data on these items.
Handling and storage precautions
●
This camera uses a 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 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.
