Handling the Battery
• Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully for leaks,
discoloration, warping, or any other abnormality.
• The battery may become hot during prolonged use. To avoid
minor burns, do not remove it immediately after using the
camera.
• Always unload the battery from the camera before storing
the camera for a long period.
• When storing the battery for a long period, select a cool
location for storage.
• This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery. Use the
specifi ed genuine battery. There is a risk of explosion if the
battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type.
• Power consumption by the camera varies depending on
which functions are used.
During the conditions described below, power is consumed
continuously and the battery becomes 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 printer.
• Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn
off without displaying the battery level warning.
• The Olympus lithium ion battery is designed to be used only
for the Olympus digital camera. Do not use the battery to
other devices.
• If the battery's terminals get wet or greasy, camera contact
failure may result. Wipe the battery well with a dry cloth
before use.
• Always charge a battery when using it for the fi rst time, or if
it has not been used for a long period.
• When operating the camera with battery power at low
temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare battery
as warm as possible. A battery that has run down at low
temperatures may be restored after it is warmed at room
temperature.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling
abroad, purchase extra batteries. A recommended battery
may be diffi cult to obtain while traveling.
• Please recycle batteries to help save our planet's resources.
When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their
terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.
• Do not allow children or animals/pets to handle or transport
batteries (prevent dangerous behaviour such as licking,
putting in mouth or chewing).

Using a non-genuine rechargeable battery and/or battery
charger may result in fi re or personal injury due to leakage,

assume any liability for accidents or damage that may result
from the use of a battery and/or battery charger that are not

Monitor
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may
become vague, resulting in a playback mode failure or
damage to the monitor.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor,
but this is not a malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the
edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a
malfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the monitor may take
a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily.
When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good
idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. The monitor
exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will
recover in normal temperatures.
• The monitor of this product is manufactured with high-quality
accuracy, however, there may be a stuck or dead pixel on
the monitor. These pixels do not have any infl uence on
the image to be saved. Because of the characteristics, the
unevenness of the color or brightness may also be found
depending on the angle, but this is due to the structure of the
monitor. This is not a malfunction.
