Battery handling precautions

In addition to the batteries provided with the camera, the following types of battery can be used. Choose the power source best suited to the situation. AA alkaline batteries The number of pictures that you can take may vary considerably depending on the battery manufacturer and shooting conditions. AA NiMH batteries (rechargeable batteries) Being rechargeable, Olympus NiMH batteries are reusable and economical. For details, refer to the instruction manual for your charger. CAUTION: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type. Dispose of the used battery following the instructions. Battery Handling Precautions (p. 78) The following types of batteries cannot be used: Lithium battery pack (CR-V3)/AA (R6) manganese (zinc-carbon) batteries/AA (R6) oxyride batteries/AA (R6) lithium batteries Power consumption by the camera varies depending on which functions are used. Power is consumed continuously during the conditions described below causing batteries to become exhausted quickly. The zoom is used repeatedly. The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in shooting mode, activating the auto focus and digital image stabilization. Set [FULLTIME AF] to [ON]. The monitor is left on for an extended period of time. The camera is connected to a computer or printer.

Handling the Camera

WARNING
Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases. Do not use the flash and LED on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close range. You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects. Firing the flash too close to the subjects eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision. Keep young children and infants away from the camera. Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause serious injury: Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation. Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts. Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child. Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera. Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera. Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places. Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing. Do not insert anything into the microSD Attachment other than the microSD card. Other types of cards cannot be installed on this microSD Attachment. Do not insert anything other than an xD-Picture Card or the microSD Attachment into the camera. If you insert a card by mistake, such as a microSD card, do not use force. Contact authorized distributors/service centers.

CAUTION
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 fire or burn your hands. Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands. 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 fire. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire. 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 cameras body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures. Be careful with the strap. Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.

Battery Handling Precautions

Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding or causing electrical shocks or burns. DANGER

The following AA (R6) batteries cannot be used.

Use only the Olympus brand NiMH batteries and proper fitting charger. Never heat or incinerate batteries. Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc. Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct sunlight, or subjected to hightemperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source, etc. To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their terminals, carefully follow all instructions regarding the use of batteries. Never attempt to disassemble a battery or modify it in any way, solder, etc. If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention immediately. Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a child accidentally swallows a battery, seek medical attention immediately. Keep batteries dry at all times. To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating or causing a fire or explosion, use only batteries recommended for use with this product. Never mix batteries (old and new batteries, charged and uncharged batteries, batteries of different manufacture or capacity, etc.). Never attempt to charge alkaline, lithium or CR-V3 lithium battery packs. Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions. Do not use batteries if their body is not covered by the insulating sheet or if the sheet is torn, as this may cause fluid leaks, fire or injury. Do not remove batteries immediately after using the camera. Batteries may become hot during prolonged use. Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the camera for a long period.

Batteries whose bodies are only partially or not at all covered by an insulating sheet.

Batteries whose - terminals are raised, but not covered by an insulating sheet.

Batteries whose - terminals are flat and not completely covered by an insulating sheet. (Such batteries cannot be used even if the - terminals are partially covered.)

WARNING

If NiMH batteries are not charged within the specified time, stop charging them and do not use them. Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken. If a battery leaks, becomes discolored, deformed or becomes abnormal in any other way during operation, stop using the camera. If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the clothing and flush the affected area with clean, running cold water immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek medical attention immediately. Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous vibration.

CAUTION

Caution for Usage Environment

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 humidifiers. In sandy or dusty environments. Near flammable 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 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 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. Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the cameras manual.

Battery Handling Precautions

Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas) are intended for use only with Olympus digital cameras. Never use these batteries with any other device. Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some areas) before using them for the first time, or if they have not been used for a long period. Always charge sets of batteries (included in some areas) (2 or 4) together. Do not use alkaline batteries unless it is absolutely necessary. In some cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service life than NiMH. Alkaline battery performance is limited, especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is recommended. AA manganese (Zinc-Carbon) batteries cannot be used with this camera. When operating the camera with battery power at low temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare batteries as warm as possible. Batteries which run down at low temperatures may be restored after they are warmed at room temperature. Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries: Operation.................... 0C to 40C (32F to 104F) Charge........................ 0C to 40C (32F to 104F) Storage.......................-20C to 30C (-4F to 86F) Using, charging or storing the batteries outside these ranges could shorten battery life or affect battery performance. Always unload the batteries from the camera before storing the camera for a long period. Before using NiMH or NiCd batteries, always read the provided instructions. The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting conditions or batteries. Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase an ample supply of extra batteries. The recommended batteries may be difficult to obtain while traveling. Please recycle batteries to help save our planets resources. When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.

LCD 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 LCD 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. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal temperatures. The LCD used for the monitor is made with highprecision technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not a malfunction.
