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

Precautions when using the wireless LAN function

If using the wireless LAN function in a country outside the region where the camera was purchased, there is a risk that the camera will not conform to the wireless communication regulations of that country. Olympus will not be held responsible for any failure to meet such regulations.

GPS function, electronic compass

• In a location not open to the sky (inside, underground, underwater, in a forest, near high buildings) or in a location subject to strong magnetic or electric fields (near new high-voltage power lines, magnets or electrical goods, 1.5GHz mobile telephones), it may not be possible to determine measurements or generate errors.
• The altitude displayed on the measurement information screen or picture playback screen etc. is displayed/ recorded based on information from pressure sensors built into camera body. Be careful since the displayed altitude is not based on GPS position measurements.
• Electronic compass errors may be caused by the effects of strong magnetic or electrical fields (such as televisions, microwaves, large motors, radio towers and high-voltage lines). To restore the electronic compass function, hold the camera firmly and move in a figure of 8 while turning your wrist over.
• Since the GPS function and electronic compass function are not required to be accurate, there is no guarantee that the measured values (latitude, longitude, compass direction etc.) are accurate.

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 influence 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.
