Usage Tips
If the camera does not work as intended, or if an error
message is displayed on the screen, and you are unsure
of what to do, refer to the information below to fix the
problem(s).
● Press the qbutton to switch to the shooting
mode.
● Wait until #(flash charge) stops blinking before
taking pictures.
● With prolonged camera use, the internal
temperature may increase, resulting in automatic
shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery
from the camera and wait until the camera
has sufficiently cooled. The camera’s external
temperature may also increase during use,
however this is normal and does not indicate
malfunction.
Troubleshooting
Battery
“The camera does not work even when batteries are
installed”.
● Insert recharged batteries in the correct direction.
“Inserting the battery and the SD/SDHC memory
card (sold separately)” (p. 12), “Charging the
battery and setting up using the supplied CD”
(p. 13), “Charging the battery with the supplied
USB-AC adapter” (p. 15)
Monitor
“Difficult to see”.
● Condensation*1 may have occurred. Turn off the
power, and wait for the camera body to become
acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry
out before taking pictures.
● Battery performance may have been reduced
temporarily due to low temperature. Take the
batteries out of the camera, and warm them by
putting them in your pocket for a while.

Dew drops can form in the camera when it is
suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm,
humid room.
“Vertical lines appear on the screen”.
Card/Internal memory
“An error message is displayed”.
● This condition may occur when the camera is
pointed at an extremely bright subject under a clear
sky and so on. The lines do not appear, however,
in the final image.
“Error message” (p. 54)
Shutter button
“No picture is taken when the shutter button is
pressed”.
“The light is caught in the picture”.
● Shooting with flash in dark situations results in an
image with many flash reflections on dust in the air.
● Cancel sleep mode.
To save battery power, the camera automatically
goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off
if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the
camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if
the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode.
Operate the zoom buttons or other buttons to
restore the camera from sleep mode before
taking a picture. If the camera is left for another

This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery
(LI-42B). No other type of batteries can be used.
Exterior
•
Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty,
soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well. Wipe
the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a
dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach,
use a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well.
Caution:
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced
with the incorrect battery type.
Dispose of the used battery following the instructions.
(p. 65)
Monitor
•
•
Power consumption by the camera varies depending on
which functions are used.
During the conditions described below, power is
consumed continuously and the battery becomes
exhausted quickly.
•
Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens
•
Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower, then
wipe gently with a lens cleaner.
•
•
The zoom is used repeatedly.
Battery/USB-AC adapter
The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in
shooting mode, activating the auto focus.
A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended
period of time.
•
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or
alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.
•
•
The camera is connected to a computer or printer.
Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left
dirty.
•
•
Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to
turn off without displaying the battery level warning.
The rechargeable battery is not fully charged at the time
of purchase. Use the supplied F-2AC USB-AC adapter
(hereafter referred to as USB-AC adapter) or optional
LI-41C battery charger to charge the battery before use.
Storage
•
When storing the camera for extended periods, remove
the battery, USB-AC adapter and card, and keep in a
cool, dry place that is well ventilated.
Periodically insert the battery and test the camera
functions.
•
•
When the included USB-AC adapter is used, charging
usually takes approximately 3 hours (varies on usage).
•
The included USB-AC adapter has been designed to
be used only for charging. Make sure that operations
such as shooting, viewing images and so on are not
being used while the USB-AC adapter is connected to
the camera.
Avoid leaving the camera in places where chemical
products are handled since this may result in
corrosion.
58 EN

The included USB-AC adapter is designed to be
used only with this camera. Other cameras cannot be
charged with this USB-AC adapter.
Do not use with other devices.
For plug-in type USB-AC adapter:
Using an SD/SDHC memory card
A card (and internal memory) also corresponds to the
film that records images in a film camera. Otherwise, the
recorded images (data) can be erased, and retouching is
also available with the use of a computer. Cards can be
removed from the camera and exchanged, but this is not
possible with the internal memory. Use of larger capacity
cards enables you to take more pictures.
The included USB-AC adapter is intended to be
correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount position.
Using your charger and USB-AC
adapter abroad
SD/SDHC card write-protect switch
The SD/SDHC card body has a write-protect switch. If you
set the switch to the “LOCK” side, you will not be able to
write to the card, delete data or format. Release the switch
to enable writing.
•
The charger and USB-AC adapter can be used in
most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V
to 240 V AC (50/60Hz) around the world. However,
depending on the country or area you are in, the AC
wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger
and USB-AC adapter may require a plug adapter to
match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local
electrical shop or travel agent.
LOCK

Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.
Do not use the flash and LED on people (infants, small children,
etc.) at close range.
• You must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your
subjects. Firing the flash too close to the subject’s eyes could
cause a momentary loss of vision.
Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young
children and infants to prevent the following dangerous
situations which could cause serious injury:
• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing
strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small
parts.

•
Never hold or operate the camera with wet hands.
Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to
extremely high temperatures.
• Always store batteries out of the reach of small children. If a
child accidentally swallows a battery, seek medical attention
immediately.
• Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some
circumstances, cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use
the charger or USB-AC adapter if it is covered (such as a
blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting in fire.
Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature
burn.
WARNING
• Keep batteries dry at all times.
• To prevent batteries from leaking, overheating, or causing a
fire or explosion, use only batteries recommended for use with
this product.
•
• When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can
result in a low-temperature burn. Pay attention to the
following:
• When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you
hold on to the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn
may be caused.
• In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the
temperature of the camera’s body may be lower than the
environmental temperature. If possible, wear gloves when
handling the camera in cold temperatures.
• Insert the battery carefully as described in the operating
instructions.
• If rechargeable batteries have not been recharged within the
specified time, stop charging them and do not use them.
• Do not use a battery if it is cracked or broken.
• If a battery leaks, becomes discolored or deformed, or
becomes abnormal in any other way during operation, stop
using the camera.
• If a battery leaks fluid onto your clothing or skin, remove the
clothing and flush the affected area with clean, running cold
water immediately. If the fluid burns your skin, seek medical
attention immediately.
•
Be careful with the strap.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could
easily catch on stray objects and cause serious damage.
• Never subject batteries to strong shocks or continuous
vibration.
Battery Handling Precautions
CAUTION
Follow these important guidelines to prevent batteries
from leaking, overheating, burning, exploding, or causing
electrical shocks or burns.
• Before loading, always inspect the battery carefully for leaks,
discoloration, warping, or any other abnormality.
• The battery may become hot during prolonged use. To avoid
minor burns, do not remove it immediately after using the
camera.
DANGER
• Always unload the battery from the camera before storing the
camera for a long period.
• The camera uses a lithium ion battery specified by Olympus.
Charge the battery with the specified USB-AC adapter or
charger. Do not use any other USB-AC adapters or chargers.
• Never heat or incinerate batteries.
Caution for Usage Environment
• Take precautions when carrying or storing batteries to prevent
them from coming into contact with any metal objects such as
jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.
• Never store batteries where they will be exposed to direct
sunlight, or subjected to high temperatures in a hot vehicle,
near a heat source, etc.
• To prevent causing battery leaks or damaging their terminals,
carefully follow all instructions regarding the use of batteries.
Never attempt to disassemble a battery or modify it in any
way, solder, etc.
• If battery fluid gets into your eyes, flush your eyes immediately
with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention
immediately.
• 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.
64 EN
• 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.
LCD 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.
• 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.
• 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 LCD 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. An LCD monitor
exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will
recover in normal temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision
technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light
may appear constantly on the LCD Monitor. Due to its
characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the
monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness.
This is not a malfunction.
• Do not push or pull severely on the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the
batteries. 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 button to make sure that it is operating normally.
• The camera may malfunction if it is used in a location where
it is subject to a magnetic/electromagnetic field, radio waves,
or high voltage, such as near a TV set, microwave, video
game, loud speakers, large monitor unit, TV/radio tower, or
transmission towers. In such cases, turn the camera off and on
again before further operation.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions
described in the camera’s manual.
