Weatherproof feature

The camera is weatherproof and is not damaged by water spray from any

direction. However, it cannot be used underwater. Observe the following

precautions when using the camera.

Olympus will not assume any responsibility for malfunction of the camera

caused by water getting inside as a result of misuse by the user.

• The camera loses its waterproof capability if the battery compartment

cover, connector cover or DC-IN jack cover is open. Make sure that all

the covers are closed before using the camera.

• Wipe any water off the camera before changing the battery or card.

• Keep the lens out of the water when taking pictures. (The camera may

not focus correctly.)

• If the camera gets splashed, wipe the water off as soon as possible with

a dry cloth. Salt water spray or droplets can cause damage to the camera

if the camera is not wiped dry as soon as possible.

• Do not apply excessive force to or attempt to peel off the rubber packing

of the battery compartment cover, connector cover or DC-IN jack cover.

• If the rubber packing becomes worn or damaged, contact your nearest

Olympus service center. (A charge is made for replacement of parts.)

• If the rubber packing of the battery compartment cover, connector cover

or DC-IN jack cover contains dirt or sand, wipe it off before closing the

cover, otherwise water may get inside the camera.

• The rechargeable battery and other camera accessories are not

weatherproof. Care should be taken when using the accessories.

• Do not wash the camera

with water.

• Do not drop the camera

into water.

• Do not take pictures

underwater.
