Appendix

Camera care
Exterior Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well. Monitor Wipe gently with a soft cloth. Lens Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower, then wipe gently with a lens cleaner.
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically treated cloth. Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
Battery handling precautions
In addition to the batteries provided with the camera, the following types of battery can be used. Choose the power source best suited to the situation. AA alkaline batteries The number of pictures that you can take may vary considerably depending on the battery manufacturer and shooting conditions. AA NiMH batteries (rechargeable batteries) Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. For details, refer to the instruction manual for your charger.
Caution: Use only batteries approved for use in this product. Otherwise it could result in explosion. Follow the instructions in this manual (p. 51) when disposing used batteries.

Storage

When storing the camera for extended periods, remove the battery and card, and keep in a cool, dry place that is well ventilated. Periodically insert the battery and test the camera functions.
Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical products are handled since this may result in corrosion.
The following types of batteries cannot be used: Lithium battery pack (CR-V3)/AA (R6) manganese (zinc-carbon) batteries/AA (R6) oxyride batteries/AA (R6) lithium batteries Power consumption by the camera varies depending on which functions are used. Power is consumed continuously during the conditions described below causing batteries to become exhausted quickly. The zoom is used repeatedly. The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in shooting mode, activating the auto focus. A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended period of time. The camera is connected to a computer or printer. Battery life varies depending on the type of battery, manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc. Similarly, the camera may turn off without displaying the battery level warning or may display the battery level warning more quickly.

Read All Instructions Before you use the product, read all operating instructions. Save all manuals and documentation for future reference. Cleaning Always unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Never use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaner, or any type of organic solvent to clean this product. Attachments For your safety, and to avoid damaging the product, use only accessories recommended by Olympus. Water and Moisture For precautions on products with weatherproof designs, read the weatherproong sections. Location To avoid damage to the product, mount the product securely on a stable tripod, stand, or bracket. Power Source Connect this product only to the power source described on the product label. Foreign Objects To avoid personal injury, never insert a metal object into the product. Heat Never use or store this product near any heat source such as a radiator, heat register, stove, or any type of equipment or appliance that generates heat, including stereo ampliers.

Handling the Camera

Do not use the camera near ammable or explosive gases. Do not use the ash and LED on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range. You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the ash too close to the subjects eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision. Keep young children and infants away from the camera. Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury: Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation. Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts. Accidentally ring the ash into their own eyes or those of another child. Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera. Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera. Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places. Do not cover the ash with a hand while ring. Do not insert anything into the microSD Attachment other than the microSD card. Other types of cards cannot be inserted into microSD Attachment. Do not insert anything other than an xD-Picture Card or the microSD Attachment into the camera. If you insert a card by mistake, such as a microSD card, do not use force. Contact authorized distributors/service centers.
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 re or burn your hands. Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. 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 re. Do not use the charger if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in 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 cameras 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.

Battery Handling Precautions
Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns. DANGER
Use only the Olympus brand NiMH batteries and proper tting charger. Never heat or incinerate batteries. Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc. Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to hightemperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc. To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their terminals, carefully follow all instructions regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a battery or modify it in any way, solder, etc. If battery uid gets into your eyes, ush your eyes immediately with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention immediately. Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately.
The following AA (R6) batteries cannot be used.
Batteries whose bodies are only partially or not at all covered by an insulating sheet.
Batteries whose - terminals are raised, but not covered by an insulating sheet.
Batteries whose - terminals are at and not completely covered by an insulating sheet. (Such batteries cannot be used even if the - terminals are partially covered.)
Keep batteries dry at all times. To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating or causing a re or explosion, use only batteries recommended for use with this product. Never mix batteries (old and new batteries, charged and uncharged batteries, batteries of different manufacture or capacity, etc.). Never attempt to charge alkaline, lithium or CR-V3 lithium battery packs. Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions. Do not use batteries if their body is not covered by the insulating sheet or if the sheet is torn, as this may cause uid leaks, re or injury.
If NiMH batteries are not charged within the specied time, stop charging them and do not use them. Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken. If a battery leaks, becomes discolored, deformed or becomes abnormal in any other way during operation, stop using the camera. If a battery leaks uid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and ush the affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the uid burns your skin, seek medical attention immediately. Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration.
Do not remove batteries immediately after using the camera. Batteries may become hot during prolonged use. Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period.
