Charging the battery with the  
included USB-AC adapter  
The battery is not fully charged at shipment. Before  
use, be sure to charge the battery until the indicator  
lamp turns off (up to 3.5 hours).  
The included F-2AC USB-AC adapter (hereafter  
referred to as USB-AC adapter) differs depending  
on the region where you purchased the camera. If  
you received a plug-in type USB-AC adapter, plug it  
directly into AC outlet.  
If the indicator lamp does not light, the USB-AC  
adapter is not connected to the camera correctly,  
or the battery, camera, or USB-AC adapter may be  
broken.  
The included USB-AC adapter has been designed  
to be used for charging and playback. Do not take  
pictures while the AC adapter is connected to the  
camera.  
For details on the battery and the USB-AC adapter,  
see “Battery and USB-AC adapter” (p. 65).  
The battery can be charged while the camera is  
connected to the computer. Charging time varies  
depending on the performance of a computer. (There  
may be cases in which it takes approx. 10 hours.)

introduces noise into the resulting picture, which may  
give it a grainy appearance.

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 sufciently  
cooled. The camera’s external temperature may  
also increase during use, however this is normal and  
does not indicate malfunction.

Camera care  
Battery and USB-AC adapter  
This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery  
(LI-50B). 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. 72)  
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.

alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.  
The camera is connected to a 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. Before using the camera, charge it  
by connecting it to a computer, or charge it using the  
included USB-AC adapter F-2AC or a separately sold  
charger LI-50C.  
When the included USB-AC adapter F-2AC is used,

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.
