Be careful with the strap when carrying the camera as it can easily catch on stray
objects, causing injury or damage.
Do not leave the camera in places of high temperature. Avoid touching the battery
with your bare hands when replacing it, as it may cause burns.
Use only the specified AC adapter. Use of an unauthorized adapter may result in
damage or malfunction of the camera or power source, leading to accidents. Olympus
is not responsible for any damages arising from use of an unauthorized adapter.
Avoid touching the metal parts on the outside of the camera for long periods of
time. The camera becomes hot during continued use and prolonged contact with
the metal parts may result in low temperature burns. When exposed to low
temperature, the temperature of the camera exterior will also drop. This may cause
injury by the skin adhering to the camera. To avoid low temperature burns or injury,
wear gloves when handling the camera.
Conditions for use of the camera
This camera contains precision electronic parts. Avoid using or leaving the camera for
long periods of time in the following places as this could result in failure or malfunction.
• Places of high temperature and high humidity or where the temperature and
humidity fluctuate greatly, such as in direct sunlight, on the beach in summer, in a
car with the windows closed, or next to air conditioning equipment or a humidifier
• Places where there is a lot of sand, dust or dirt
• Near fire
• Near water
• Places that are subject to considerable vibration
Avoid dropping or hitting the camera or subjecting it to severe vibration or impact.
Do not take pictures or leave the camera with the lens aimed directly at the sun.
If the camera is subjected to a sudden temperature change, for example by bringing
it from a cold place into a warm room, condensation may form on the inside. Place
the camera in a plastic bag until the temperature difference has subsided.
If the camera is left unused for a long period of time, mold may form, causing failure
or malfunction. We recommend that you check that the camera is still working
properly before using it.
Precautions regarding the monitor
Do not apply excessive pressure to the monitor as this may cause smears, prevent
pictures from being played back properly or damage the monitor. Should the
monitor break, avoid getting any of the liquid crystal in your mouth. If it gets on your
hands or feet or on your clothing, wash it off immediately with soap and water.
Lines, like strips of light, may appear at the top or bottom of the monitor, but this is
not a malfunction.
When photographing an oblique subject, the subject may appear on the monitor
with ragged edges, but this is not a malfunction. The ragged edges will disappear
when the picture is played back.
In general, the lower the temperature, the longer it takes the monitor to turn on. Pictures
may also appear temporarily discolored. Keep the camera warm when taking pictures in
a cold region. Performance of the monitor may deteriorate in low temperatures, but will
be restored when the camera is returned to normal temperatures.
