CAUTION
Handling the Camera Handling the Camera
• 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.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious
damage.
• 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 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.
• 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 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.
