  •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

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.
MonitorMonitor  •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 infl 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.
