Caution for Usage Environment
o
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:
o Places where temperatures and/or humidity are
high or go through extreme changes, such as
in
direct sunlight, at beaches,
in
locked cars or
near other heat sources (stove, radiator, etc.) or
humidifiers.
o
In
sandy or dusty environments.
o Near flammable items or explosives.
o
In
wet places, such as bathrooms or
in
the rain.
When using products with weatherproof designs,
read their manuals as well.
o
In
places prone to strong vibrations.
o Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks
or vibrations.
o When mounted
on
a tripod, adjust the position
of
the
camera with the tripod head. Do not twist the camera.
o Do not touch electric contacts
on
cameras.
o Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun.
This may cause lens or shutter curtain damage, color
failure, ghosting
on
the CCD
or
possibly fires.
o Do not push or pull severely
on
the lens.
o 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.
o Always observe the operating environment
restrictions described
in
the camera's manual.
Battery Handling Precautions
o This camera uses a lithium-ion battery specified by
Olympus. Do not use any other type
of
battery.
o If the battery's terminals get wet or greasy, camera
contact failure may result. Wipe the battery well with
a dry cloth before use.
o Always charge a battery when using it for the first
time, or if it has not been used for a long period.
o 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.
o Before going
on
a long trip, and especially before
traveling abroad, purchase extra batteries. A
recommended battery may be difficult to obtain while
traveling.
o Please recycle batteries to help save our planet's
resources. When you
throwaway
dead batteries,
be
sure to cover their terminals and always observe
local laws and regulations.
LCD Monitor
o Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image
may become vague, resulting in a playback mode
failure or damage to the monitor.
• A strip
of
light may appear
on
the top/bottom
of
the
monitor, but this is not a malfunction.
o 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.
o
In
places subject to low temperatures, the LCD
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
LCD
monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low
temperatures will recover
in
normal temperatures.
o The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-
precision technology. However, black spots or bright
spots
of
light may appear constantly
on
the LCD
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.
