CARE AND STORAGE

HANDLING
Do not use or store the camera in places exposed to direct
sunlight (e.g. a beach in summer), excessive heat, humidity,
extreme variations of temperature and humidity, sand or
dust, excessive moisture, or vibrations (e.g. in a car).
Do not use or store the camera near a heater, cooler, or
humidifier, or near a fire, magnetic fields, or volatile
materials.
Do not shake the camera or subject it to shocks.
Do not leave the camera with its lens pointing towards direct
sunlight. This will damage the lens.
Do not leave the camera unused for a long period of time.
This may cause battery leakage and can lead to problems
including the growth of mold in the camera. Before using,
press the Shutter release button to check operation.
Do not turn the camera when it is mounted on a tripod. Turn
the tripod head instead.
Do not touch any of the camera's internal parts.
Do not use the flash for extended periods as this can cause
the flash to become excessively hot. Do not touch the flash
when it is hot.
Do not improperly open or modify the camera, as it may
result in a shock or injury.
BATTERY HANDLING
This camera uses one 3V lithium battery pack (CR-V3) or
two AA NiMH batteries. An Olympus brand 3V lithium battery
is recommended.
AA alkaline, manganese or lithium batteries cannot be used.
Use the batteries correctly. Incorrect use can cause fluid
leak, heat generation, or other damage. When replacing
batteries, be sure to load them correctly.
The batteries may be temporarily disabled when exposed to
cold temperatures. Try to keep the camera and batteries
warm when using the camera in a cold environment.
Batteries that are weak in cold temperatures will be restored
under normal temperatures.
Sweat, oil, etc. can prevent a battery's terminals from making
electrical contact. To avoid this, wipe both terminals before
loading the battery.
Keep spare batteries on hand when going on a long trip. New
batteries may be difficult or impossible to obtain abroad.
When using NiMH batteries, make sure to charge them fully
with the correct battery charger.
Read instructions carefully before handling NiMH batteries.
