AC adapter
An AC adapter is useful for time-consuming tasks such as image downloads to a computer or
when running a slideshow for a long period of time. To use an AC adapter for this camera, the
multi-adapter (CB-MA1/accessory) is required.
Do not use any other AC adapter with this camera.

Using your charger and AC adapter abroad
( The charger and AC adapter can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100
V to 240 V AC (50/60Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you are
in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger may require a plug adapter to
match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent.
( Do not use travel voltage converters as they could damage your charger and AC adapter.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WATER AND SHOCK
RESISTANT FEATURES
Water resistance: The waterproof feature is warranted*1 to operate at depths up to 3 m (9.8 feet) for
up to one hour. The waterproof feature may be compromised if the camera is subject to substantial
or excessive impact.
Shock resistance: The anti-shock feature warrants*2 the operation of the camera against accidental
impact incurred from everyday use of your digital compact camera. The anti-shock feature does not
unconditionally warrant all defective operation or cosmetic damage. Cosmetic damage, such as
scratches and dents, are not covered under the warranty.
As with any electronic device, proper care and maintenance are required to preserve the integrity and
operation of your camera. To maintain camera performance, please take your camera to the nearest
Olympus Authorized Service Center to have it inspected after any major impact. In the event the
camera is damaged as a result of negligence or misuse, the warranty will not cover costs associated
with the service or repair of your camera. For additional information on our warranty, please visit to
the Olympus website for your local area.
Please observe the following care instructions for your camera.

Before Use:

Appendix

• Check the camera for foreign material including dirt, dust or sand.
• Be sure to close the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover firmly so that each lock
makes clicking sound.
• Do not open the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover with wet hands, while under
water, or in a damp or dusty environment (e.g. beach).

After Use:
• Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris after using the camera under water.
• After the camera is used under sea water, immerse the camera in a bucket containing fresh
water for about 10 minutes (with the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover
firmly closed). After that, dry the camera in a shade with good ventilation.
• Water drops may be observed on the inner surface of the battery/card compartment cover
or connector cover after you open each cover. If any water drops are found, be sure to wipe
them off before using the camera.

d4361_e_0000_7.book Page 66 Monday, November 5, 2007 3:34 PM

Notes after use
• Any foreign material may be adhered to the periphery of the lens cover, after you use the camera
in an environment containing foreign material including dirt, dust or sand, or when the lens cover
won’t move smoothly.
If you continue to use the camera in such a condition, the lens may be damaged or the lens cover
may become stuck, causing a failure. To avoid such a failure, wash the camera using the following
method.
1 Insert the battery and close the battery/card
compartment cover and connector cover firmly
so that each lock makes the clicking sound.
2 Fill a bucket with fresh water, immerse the
camera in the bucket with the lens surface
downward and shake the camera thoroughly.
3 Press the o button several times in the
water and close/open the lens cover repeatedly.
4 Furthermore, shake the camera further with the
cover opened.
Follow the steps 1 to 4, then check if the lens cover moves smoothly.
If the lens cover does not move smoothly, rinse the lens face by placing it directly under a strong
stream of tap water and pressing the o button repeatedly.

Storage and Maintenance
• Do not leave the camera in an environment at high temperature (40°C (104°F) or more) or at low
temperature (-10°C (14°F) or less). Failure to do so may break down water resistance.
• Do not use chemicals for cleaning, rust prevention, anti-fogging, repairing, etc.
• Failure to do so may break down water resistance.
• Do not leave the camera in water for a long time. Failure to do so will cause damage to the
camera’s appearance and/or deteriorate water resistance.
• In addition do not pour water over the camera directly from the water faucet.
• In order to preserve the water resistant feature, as with any underwater housing, it is
recommended that the waterproof packing (and seals) are replaced annually.
For the Olympus distributors or service stations where the waterproof packing can be
replaced, visit Olympus website for your local area.

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 subject’s 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.

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.

( 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 camera’s body may
be lower than the environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when handling the
camera in cold temperatures.

Appendix

( Be careful with the strap.

68 EN

• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.

( Do not touch the metallic parts of the camera for a long period of time at
low temperatures.
• This may damage your skin. At low temperatures, handle the camera while wearing gloves.

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

DANGER
• The camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Charge the battery with the specified
charger. Do not use any other chargers.
• 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 high
temperatures 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, by
soldering, 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.

WARNING
• 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.
• Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating instructions.
• If rechargeable batteries have not been recharged 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 or 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
Appendix

• 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.

d4361_e_0000_7.book Page 70 Monday, November 5, 2007 3:34 PM

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 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.

Battery Handling Precautions
• This camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus. Do not use any other type of battery. For safe
and proper use, read the battery’s instruction manual carefully before using it.
• 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 first 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.
• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on the shooting conditions or battery.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling abroad, purchase extra batteries. A
recommended battery may be difficult 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.

Appendix

Monitor

70 EN

• 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. A monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in normal
temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black spots or bright spots
of light may appear constantly on the 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.
