Olympus Camera Sh 50 Ihs Instruction Manual

							81EN
 
• Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn off 
without displaying the battery level warning.
 
• The Olympus lithium ion battery is designed to be used only for 
the Olympus digital camera. 
Do not use the battery to other devices.
 
• 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  fi rst 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.
 
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling 
abroad, purchase extra batteries. A recommended battery may 
be diffi  cult 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.
 USB-AC adapter USB-AC adapter 
• The included USB-AC adapter F-2AC is designed to be used 
only with this camera. Other cameras cannot be charged with 
this USB-AC adapter.
 
• Do not connect the included USB-AC adapter F-2AC to 
equipment other than this camera.
 
• For plug-in type USB-AC adapter:
The included USB-AC adapter F-2AC is intended to be 
correctly orientated in a vertical or  fl oor mount position.
Use Only Dedicated Rechargeable Battery, Use Only Dedicated Rechargeable Battery, Battery Charger and USB-AC adapterBattery Charger and USB-AC adapterWe strongly recommend that you use only the genuine Olympus 
dedicated rechargeable battery, battery charger and USB-AC 
adapter with this camera. Using a non-genuine rechargeable 
battery, battery charger and/or USB-AC adapter may result 
in fi  re or personal injury due to leakage, heating, ignition or 
damage to the battery. Olympus does not assume any liability 
for accidents or damage that may result from the use of a 
battery, battery charger and/or USB-AC adapter that are not 
genuine Olympus accessories.
 Monitor 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 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. The monitor exhibiting 
poor performance due to low temperatures will recover in 
normal temperatures.
 
• The monitor of this product is manufactured with high-quality 
accuracy, however, there may be a stuck or dead pixel on the 
monitor. These pixels do not have any in fl uence on the image 
to be saved. Because of the characteristics, the unevenness 
of the color or brightness may also be found depending on the 
angle, but this is due to the structure of the monitor. This is not 
a malfunction.
