effect that can cause distortion in pictures of moving objects. This distortion is a physicalphenomenon that occurs in pictures of fast-moving subjects or if the camera is moved
during shooting. It is particularly noticeable in pictures taken at long focal lengths.
• If the size of the movie file being recorded exceeds 4 GB, the file will be split
automatically. (Depending on shooting conditions, movies under 4 GB in size may be split
into multiple files.)• If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device
will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images. Turn off the camera for a shorttime. Noise and colored fog may also appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivity
settings. If the temperature rises further, the camera will turn off automatically.

7
Cautions• The camera uses a single Olympus lithium-ion battery. Never use any battery other thangenuine OLYMPUS batteries.
• The camera’s power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.
• As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained
quickly.
• Performing auto focus repeatedly by pressing the shutter button halfway in shootingmode.
• Displaying images on the monitor for a prolonged period.
• When connected to a computer.
• Leaving wireless LAN/Bluetooth® enabled.
• When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery warning
being displayed.
• Remove the batteries before putting the camera into storage for periods of a month or
more.
Leaving the batteries in the camera for extended periods shortens their lives, potentiallyrendering them unusable.
• The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery using the
supplied USB-AC adapter before use.
• The normal charging time using the provided USB-AC adapter is approximately 4 hours(estimated).
• Do not use USB-AC adapters or chargers not specifically designated for use with batteriesof the supplied type. Similarly, do not use the supplied USB-AC adapter with batteries(cameras) other than those of the designated type.
• There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the incorrect battery type.
• Dispose of the used battery following the instructions “CAUTION” (P. 178) in the
instruction manual.

Using your USB-AC adapter abroad• The USB-AC adapter can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of
100 V to 240 V AC (50/60 Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or
area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the USB-AC adapter
may require a plug adapter to match the wall outlet.
• Do not use commercially available travel adapters as the USB-AC adapter may
malfunction.
