deterioration in battery performance, temporarily disabling the camera.
range, may sometimes cause
When transporting the camera from a cold place to a warm

place or in the event of a sudden temperature change, put the camera into a plastic
bag. This allows the camera's temperature to change slowly. Once the camera has adjusted to the new temperature, you can remove it from the bag and use it.

Try to press the shutter release button and check the operation of the camera before use. Some airport X-ray machines can damage the film in your camera. Try to avoid passing your camera through these machines. Give it to the security officer for manual inspection.
CARING FOR YOUR WEATHERPROOF CAMERA
This camera is designed to be waterresistant; however, it is not designed
for underwater use or to be subjected
to being saturated. Seawater can be especially damaging to your camera due to salt content. Note the following warnings and take the necessary precautions if your camera becomes wet. The camera can withstand splashing water (e.g., seaside and poolside)
The camera can be used in rain or snow but should not become
soaked. Do not wash the camera.
Do not submerge the camera or
attempt to take pictures underwater. This camera is designed with rubber gaskets located inside the rear of the
camera and battery compartment cover.
These gaskets protect the interior of the camera from becoming wet in the event the camera is splashed with water. Check these gaskets often and carefully remove any sand or dust to maintain this protective seal. Whenever your camera gets wet, take
the following precautions to maintain your camera in good working order. Clean the entire exterior of the
camera with a dry cloth. Open the battery compartment and remove the battery, leaving the

battery cover open.

Open the back cover and expose the film compartment. Check the interior to see if it is wet. If

it is, carefully dry it.

Leave both the battery compartment and back cover for several hours to

let it air-dry.

Do not touch the rubber gasket with
excessive force. Do not remove the gaskets. The gaskets in your camera

should be replaced after

approximately three years to insure
consistently good weatherproof performance. They may need more frequent replacement depending on use and wear. If the gaskets are
damaged or need replacement,
contact your nearest Olympus service center.
If you are taking pictures at the beach,
you need to avoid getting sand on or
inside of your camera. Transport your camera in its own case. Do not wrap
your camera up with beach towels and
carry it in your beach bag.
