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
humidifiers.
•
In
sandy
or
dusty environments.
• Near flammable 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.
• 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 CCD,
or
may possibly cause fires.
• Do not push or pull severely on 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.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera's manual.
Battery Handling Precautions
• This camera uses a lithium ion battery specified 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 first 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 difficult to obtain while traveling.
• 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.
Monitor
• 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.
• 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. A monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover
in
normal temperatures.
• 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 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.
