Handling the Camera
WARNING
• Do not use the camera near
fl
ammable or explosive
gases.
• Do not use the
fl
ash and LED (including AF
illuminator) on people (infants, small children, etc.)
at close range.
•
You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the
faces of your subjects. Firing the
fl
ash too close
to the subject’s eyes could cause a momentary
loss of vision.
• Keep young children and infants away from the
camera.
•
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 the battery, cards or other
small parts.
•
Accidentally
fi
ring the
fl
ash into their own eyes or
those of another child.
•
Accidentally being injured by the moving parts
of the camera.
• Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the
camera.
• Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid
places.
• Do not cover the
fl
ash with a hand while
fi
ring.
• Use SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, Eye-Fi cards or
FlashAir cards only. Never use other types of cards.
If you accidently insert another type of card into the
camera, contact an authorized distributor or service
center. Do not try to remove the card by force.
• If you
fi
nd that the USB-AC adapter is extremely hot
or notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around
it, unplug the power plug from wall outlet immediately
and stop using it. Then, contact an authorized
distributor or service center.
CAUTION
• Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any
unusual odors, noise, or smoke around it.
•
Never remove the batteries with bare hands, which
may cause a
fi
re or burn your hands.
• Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
• Do not leave the camera in places where it may be
subject to extremely high temperatures.
•
Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in
some circumstances, cause the camera to catch
fi
re. Do not use the charger or USB-AC adapter if
it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause
overheating, resulting in
fi
re.
• Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-
temperature burn.
•
When the camera contains metal parts,
overheating can result in a low-temperature burn.
Pay attention to the following:
•
When used for a long period, the camera will get
hot. If you hold on to the camera in this state, a
low-temperature burn may be caused.
•
In places subject to extremely cold temperatures,
the temperature of the camera’s body may be
lower than the environmental temperature. If
possible, wear gloves when handling the camera
in cold temperatures.
• Be careful with the strap.
•
Be careful with the strap when you carry the
camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and
cause serious damage.
•
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 humidi
fi
ers.
•
In sandy or dusty environments.
•
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 attaching the camera to or removing it from a
tripod, rotate the tripod screw, not the camera.
•
Before transporting the camera, remove a tripod and
all other non-OLYMPUS accessories.
•
Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
•
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 push or pull severely on the lens.
•
Before storing the camera for a long period, remove
the batteries. 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 button to make
sure that it is operating normally.
•
The camera may malfunction if it is used in
a location where it is subject to a magnetic/
electromagnetic
fi
eld, radio waves, or high voltage,
such as near a TV set, microwave, video game,
loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or
transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera
off and on again before further operation.
•
Always observe the operating environment
restrictions described in the camera’s manual.
