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.
This may cause overheating, exploding, burning, electrical
shocks, or malfunctions.
• 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 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.

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.
