Appendix

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.

• 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.
