Important safety instructions CAUTION 1 During operation of the camera, if you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera, immediately switch the camera off, disconnect the optional AC adapter (if it is connected), and allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to allow it time to cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from flammable objects, and carefully remove the batteries to avoid burning your hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service center immediately. 2 Never attempt to disassemble the camera. The internal circuits contain high voltage points which could cause serious burns or electrical shock. 3 To avoid dangerous electrical shock, never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. 4 To avoid damaging the camera or causing a fire, never expose the camera to excessive heat. CAUTION Camera Care and Storage • Never store or use the camera for long periods in locations subject to direct sunlight, high humidity, extreme variation in temperature, or strong shocks and constant vibration. Protect the camera at all times from dust and sand. • Never store the camera near any type of appliance or equipment which generates high temperatures, low temperatures, high or low humidity, or a strong magnetic field. Never use the camera in a factory or laboratory where flammable gases are present. • Never shake the camera or subject it to shock or strong vibration. • To avoid damaging its precision lens, never leave the camera pointing directly into the sun. • 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 pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating normally. • When the camera is mounted on a tripod, adjust the tripod head to reposition the camera; do not twist the camera. • Never touch the flash after it has been fired. Avoid using the flash for extended periods. Allow it to cool occasionally between shots. • To avoid injury from electrical shock, never attempt to disassemble or modify the camera in any way. 12
