EN
specifi 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
diffi cult to obtain while traveling.
• When the camera will not be used for an
extended period, store it in a cool place.
• 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.

Caution for Usage Environment

• 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 humidifi 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 mounted on a tripod, adjust the
position of the camera with the tripod head.
Do not twist the camera.
28 EN
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not directly touch or wipe the image
pickup device of the camera.
Monitor
The display on the rear of the camera is an LCD
monitor.
• In the unlikely event that the monitor
breaks, do not put the liquid crystal in your
mouth. Any of the material adhering to your
hands, feet, or clothing should be rinsed off
immediately.
• 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
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 monitor exhibiting poor
performance due to low temperatures will
recover in normal temperatures.
• The monitor is made with high-precision
technology. However, black spots or bright
spots of light may appear constantly on the
monitor.
Due to its characteristics or the angle at
which you are viewing the monitor, the spot
may not be uniform in color and brightness.
This is not a malfunction.
