Safety Precautions • When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod head. Do not twist the camera. • 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 CCD, or may possibly cause fires. • Do not push or pull severely on the lens. • Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. 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 release button to make sure that it is operating normally. • Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the camera's manual. Card handling precautions • The card is a precision electronic device. Do not bend it or subject it to impact and keep it away from static electricity. The data stored on the card is saved in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, but it can be accidentally destroyed. • Do not expose the card to water or leave it where there is a lot of dust. • Avoid using or storing the card in places of high temperature and high humidity. • Avoid using near heat-generating or combustible materials. • Fingerprints or dirt on the card contacts may prevent correct reading/writing of data. Wipe the contacts gently with a soft dry cloth. • The card has a limited product life. Eventually, writing or erasing data from the card no longer becomes possible. • Olympus is not responsible for any damage to data saved in other media or loss of data stored on the card. 10 174 Appendix
