of another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the
camera.
• 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.
• Should you notice that the charger is emitting smoke, heat,
or an unusual noise or smell, immediately cease use and
unplug the charger from the power outlet, and then contact an
authorized distributor or service center.
• Do not cover the fl ash with a hand while fi ring.
Handling the Battery
• Keep batteries dry at all times.
• To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing
a fi re or explosion, use only batteries recommended for use
with this product.
• Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating
instructions.
• If rechargeable batteries have not been recharged within the
specifi ed time, stop charging them and do not use them.
• Do not use batteries with scratches or damage to the casing,
and do not scratch the battery.
• Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous
vibration by dropping or hitting.
This may cause exploding, overheating, or burning.
• If a battery leaks, has unusual odor, becomes discolored or
deformed, or becomes abnormal in any other way during
operation, stop using the camera, and keep away from fi re
immediately.

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.

of the aircraft.
CAUTION
Handling the Camera
• 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 fi re or burn your hands.
• Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
This may cause overheating, exploding, burning, electrical
shocks, or malfunctions.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could
easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.
• 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 fi re. Do not use
the charger if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could
cause overheating, resulting in fi 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 camera's body may be lower than
the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves
when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
• 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 humidifi ers.
• In sandy or dusty environments.
• Near fl ammable 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 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.
