Notes
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or a chemically treated cloth.
Avoid storing the camera in places where chemicals are treated, in order to protect the camera
from corrosion.
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.
Check each part of the camera before use if it has not been used for a long time. Before taking
important pictures, be sure to take a test shot and check that the camera works properly.
Cleaning mode – Removing dust
If dust or dirt gets on the image pickup device, black dots may appear in the picture. Contact
your Olympus Authorized Service Center to have the image pickup device physically cleaned.
The image pickup device is a precision device and is easily damaged. When cleaning the
image pickup device yourself, be sure to follow the instructions below. If power runs out during
cleaning, the shutter will close, which may cause the shutter curtain and mirror to break. Keep
an eye on the remaining battery power.
1
Remove the lens from the camera, and set the
power switch to ON.

4
Press the shutter button all the way.
The mirror goes up and the shutter curtain opens.
5
Clean the image pickup device.
Carefully blow off any dust on the surface of the image
pickup device by using a mechanical blower (commercially
available).
6
Be careful not to catch the mechanical blower in the shutter curtain when turning
the power off to finish cleaning.
If the camera turns off, the shutter curtain closes, causing the mirror to fall.

Notes
Be careful not to let the mechanical blower (commercially available) touch the image pickup
device. If the blower touches the image pickup device, the image pickup device will be
damaged.
Never put the mechanical blower behind the lens mount. If the power turns off, the shutter
closes, breaking the shutter curtain.
Do not use anything other than the mechanical blower. If high-pressure gas is sprayed onto the
image pickup device, it will freeze on the image pickup device’s surface, damaging the image
pickup device.
Pixel mapping – Checking the image processing functions
The pixel mapping feature allows the camera to check and adjust the image pickup device and
image processing functions. After using the monitor or taking continuous shots, wait for at least
one minute before using the pixel mapping function to ensure that it operates correctly.
