• Use SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards or Eye-Fi cards only. Never use other types of cards.
If you accidently insert another type of card into the camera, contact an authorized distributor or service
center. Do not try to remove the card by force.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious
damage.
• 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.
• Plug-in USB adapters: Orient the supplied F-5AC plug-in USB AC adapter vertically with respect to the wall
socket, or horizontally with respect to the fl oor.
Using the wireless LAN function
Using the wireless LAN function
• Turn off the camera in hospitals and other locations where medical equipment is present.
The radio waves from the camera may adversely affect medical equipment, causing a malfunction that results
in an accident.
• Turn off the camera when onboard aircraft.
Using wireless devices onboard may hinder safe operation of the aircraft.
Precautions when using the wireless LAN function
Precautions when using the wireless LAN function
If using the wireless LAN function in a country outside the region where the camera was purchased, there is
a risk that the camera will not conform to the wireless communication regulations of that country. Olympus will
not be held responsible for any failure to meet such regulations.
GPS function, electronic compass
GPS function, electronic compass
• In a location not open to the sky (inside, underground, underwater, in a forest, near high buildings) or in a
location subject to strong magnetic or electric fi elds (near new high-voltage power lines, magnets or electrical
goods, 1.5GHz mobile telephones), it may not be possible to determine measurements or generate errors.
• The altitude displayed on the measurement information screen or picture playback screen etc. is displayed/
recorded based on information from pressure sensors built into camera body. Be careful since the displayed
altitude is not based on GPS position measurements.
• Electronic compass errors may be caused by the effects of strong magnetic or electrical fi elds (such as
televisions, microwaves, large motors, radio towers and high-voltage lines). To restore the electronic compass
function, hold the camera fi rmly and move in a fi gure of 8 while turning your wrist over.
• Since the GPS is not required to be accurate, there is no guarantee that the measured values (latitude,
longitude, compass direction etc.) are accurate.
