Safety precautions

zDo not use the flash on people (infants, small children, etc.) at close

range.

When you fire the flash, 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.

zKeep young children and infants away from the camera.

If not, the following dangerous situations may occur:

•Becoming entangled in the camera strap or power cords, causing strangulation. If

this happens, follow the doctor’s instructions.

•Accidentally swallowing the battery or other small parts.

•Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child.

•Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.

zDo not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.

Using or storing the camera in dusty or humid places may result in a fire or

electric shock.

zDo not cover the flash with a hand while firing.

Do not cover the flash or touch it after it has just been fired sequentially. It

may be hot and cause minor burns.

zDo not take apart or modify the camera.

Never attempt to disassemble the camera. The internal circuits contain high

voltage points which could cause serious burns or electrical shock.

zDo not let water or foreign objects inside the camera.

A fire or electric shock may result. If the camera is accidentally dropped in

water, or if liquid is spilled into the camera, stop using it, allow it to dry, and

then remove the battery. Contact the nearest authorized Olympus service

center.

zDo not touch the battery or the battery charger while battery charging

is in progress.

Wait until charging is complete and the battery has cooled.

The battery and battery charger become hot while charging. At these times, they may

cause minor burns.

zDo not use a non-specified battery and/or charger.

Use of a non-designated battery and/or re-charger may lead to camera or

battery failure as well as other unexpected accidents. Any accidents

resulting from use of non-designated equipment will not be compensated.

CAUTION

zStop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual odors,

noise, or smoke around it.

If you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera during

operation, switch it off immediately — and remove the battery. Allow the

camera to sit idle for a few minutes to cool. Take the camera outdoors, away

from flammable objects, and carefully remove the battery. Never remove the

battery with bare hands. Contact the nearest Olympus service center

immediately.

E500_oe_Basic.book Page 7 Monday, November 14, 2005 2:18 PM

Safety precautions

zDo not use the camera with wet hands.

Damage or electric shock may result. Also, do not connect or disconnect

the power plug with wet hands.

zBe careful with the strap when you carry the camera.

It could easily catch on stray objects — and cause serious damage.

zDo not leave the camera in areas subject to extremely high

temperature.

Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances, cause

the camera to catch fire.

zWhen 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.

zDo not damage the power cable.

Do not pull on the charger’s cable or add another cable to it. Be sure to

connect or disconnect the charger’s cable while holding the power plug. If

the following cases occur, stop using and contact an Olympus dealer or

authorized customer support center.

•The power plug or cable produces heat, burning smell, or smoke.

•The power plug or cable is cracked or broken. The contact is bad on the power plug.

Battery handling precautions

Follow these important guidelines to prevent the battery from leaking,

overheating, burning, exploding, or causing electrical shocks or burns.

DANGER

zNever heat or incinerate the battery.

zDo not connect the (+) and (-) terminals to each other using metal

objects.

zDo not carry or store the battery where it may come into contact with

metal objects such as jewelry, pins, fasteners, etc.

zNever store the battery where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, or

subjected to high temperatures in a hot vehicle, near a heat source,

etc.

zNever attempt to disassemble the battery or modify it in any way, such

as by soldering.

Doing so may break the terminals or cause battery fluid to splash, resulting

in potential fire, explosion, battery leakage, overheating or other damage.

zIf battery fluid gets in your eyes, loss of eyesight may result.

If battery fluid gets in your eyes, do not rub them. Flush them immediately

with clear, cold running water and seek medical attention straight away.

E500_oe_Basic.book Page 8 Monday, November 14, 2005 2:18 PM

Camera

zTo 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.

•In places subject to strong vibrations.

Handling and storage precautions

E500_oe_Basic.book Page 9 Monday, November 14, 2005 2:18 PM

Safety precautions

zNever drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.

zDo not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens

damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly start a fire.

zCondensation may form inside the camera when there is a sudden extreme

change in temperature (such as when moving from indoors to outdoors).

Acclimatize the camera to the temperature (e.g. by putting the camera into

a plastic bag) before use.

zIf the camera has not been used for a long time, mold may form or the

camera may malfunction. Before using the camera, check that the camera

works properly.

zDo not touch electric contacts on cameras and interchangeable lenses.

Remember to attach the cap when removing the lens.

zDo not place the camera near anything that could be affected by magnetism

(e.g. credit card, floppy disk, etc.). Doing so may destroy the data on these

items.

LCD monitor

zDo not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become fuzzy,

resulting in a playback mode failure or damage to the monitor. If the monitor

is damaged, be careful not to get any of the liquid crystals from the monitor

in your mouth. If liquid crystals get on your limbs or clothes, wash them off.

zA strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor. This is not a

malfunction.

zWhen a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear

to zigzag on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; It will be less noticeable

in playback mode.

zIn 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. A LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures

will recover in normal temperatures.

zThe LCD monitor is made with high-precision technology. However, black

spots or bright spots of light may appear on the LCD monitor. These spots

may not be uniform in color and brightness depending on their

characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the monitor. This is not

a malfunction.
