2. To avoid damaging your eyes, never aim the
camera directly into the sun, or any other
extremely bright light source.
3. To avoid causing a fire or explosion, never
use the camera in near flammable or
explosive gases.
4. 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 a battery or small
part.
• Accidentally firing the flash into their own
eyes or into the eyes of another child.
5. To avoid the hazards of fire or electrical
shock, store the camera in a cool, dry
location where it will not be subjected to
high humidity or dust.
6. To avoid minor burns, never cover the flash
with your hand when it is fired. Never touch
the flash unit after continuous use. The flash
unit becomes very hot during continuous
operation.
7. If the camera is accidentally dropped in
water, or if liquid is spilled into the camera,
stop using the camera, allow the camera to
dry, and then remove the batteries. Contact
the nearest Olympus authorized service
center.
CAUTION
1. During operation of the camera, if you notice
any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around
the camera, immediately switch the camera
off, disconnect the optional AC adapter (if it
is connected), and allow the camera to sit
idle for a few minutes to allow it time to cool.
Take the camera outdoors, away from
flammable objects, and carefully remove the
batteries to avoid burning your hands.
Contact the nearest Olympus service center
immediately.
2. Never attempt to disassemble the camera.
The internal circuits contain high voltage
points which could cause serious burns or
electrical shock.
3. To avoid dangerous electrical shock, never
hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
4. To avoid damaging the camera or causing a
fire, never expose the camera to excessive
heat.
Camera Care and Storage
Handling
• Never store or use the camera for long
periods in locations subject to direct sunlight,
high humidity, extreme variation in
temperature, or strong shocks and constant
vibration. Protect the camera at all times from
dust and sand.
• Never store the camera near any type of
appliance or equipment which generates high
temperatures, low temperatures, high or low
humidity, or a strong magnetic field. Never
use the camera in a factory or laboratory
where flammable gases are present.
• Never shake the camera or subject it to shock
or strong vibration.
• To avoid damaging its precision lens, never
leave the camera pointing directly into the
sun.
• 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 pressing the
shutter button to make sure that it is operating
normally.
• When the camera is mounted on a tripod,
adjust the tripod head to re-position the
camera; do not twist the camera.
• Never touch the flash after it has been fired.
Avoid using the flash for extended periods.
Allow it to cool occasionally between shots.
• To avoid injury from electrical shock, never
attempt to disassemble or modify the camera
in any way.
CAUTION
Selecting batteries for your camera
• This camera can use four AA Ni-MH batteries,
four AA alkaline batteries, four AA lithium
batteries, four AA Ni-Cd batteries, or two CR-
V3 lithium battery packs. Use of Olympus
brand batteries is strongly recommended.
• Alkaline battery performance is limited,
especially at low temperatures. Using Ni-MH
batteries is recommended.
• AA manganese batteries cannot be used with
this camera.
• Always follow the battery recommendations
