Important Information about Water and Shock ResistantFeatures
Water resistance: The waterproof feature is warranted*1 to operate at depths up to
15 m (49.2 feet) for up to one hour.
The waterproof feature may be compromised if the camera is subject to substantial orexcessive impact.
Shock resistance: The anti-shock feature warrants*2 the operation of the camera
against accidental impact incurred from everyday use of your digital compact camera.
The anti-shock feature does not unconditionally warrant all defective operation or
cosmetic damage. Cosmetic damage, such as scratches and dents, are not covered
under the warranty.
As with any electronic device, proper care and maintenance are required to preserve
the integrity and operation of your camera. To maintain camera performance, pleasetake your camera to the nearest Olympus Authorized Service Center to have it
inspected after any major impact. In the event the camera is damaged as a result ofnegligence or misuse, the warranty will not cover costs associated with the service orrepair of your camera. For additional information on our warranty, please visit to the
Olympus website for your local area.
Please observe the following care instructions for your camera.

Before use:
• Check the camera for foreign material including dirt, dust or sand.
• Firmly close the battery/card compartment cover lock, connector cover lock and LOCKknob.
• Do not open the battery/card compartment cover and connector cover with wet hands,
while under water, or in a damp or dusty environment (e.g. beach).

8
Cautions*1 As determined by Olympus in-house tests performed in accordance with IEC Standard
Publication 60529 IPX8 - This means that the camera can be used normally under waterat a specified water pressure.
*2 This anti-shock performance is confirmed by Olympus’ testing conditions in accordancewith MIL-STD-810F, Method 516.5, Procedure IV (Transit Drop Test). For more details of
Olympus’ testing conditions, please refer to the Olympus website for your local area.

After use:
• Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris after using the camera under water.
• After the camera is used under seawater, immerse the camera
in a bucket containing fresh water for about 10 minutes (withthe battery/card compartment cover and connector cover firmly
closed, the lock in place and the lens ring removed). After that,
let the camera dry in a shaded location with good ventilation.
• When opening the battery/card compartment cover orconnector cover, open slowly with the camera orientated asshown in the following illustration to prevent water drops
entering the camera. If any water drops are found on the innerside of the cover, be sure to wipe them off before using theBattery/card
compartment covercamera.

EN 123

Storage and maintenance• Do not use chemicals for cleaning, rust prevention, anti-fogging, repairing, etc.
Failure to do so may break down water resistance.
• Do not leave the camera in water for a long time. Prolonged exposure to water willcause damage to the camera’s appearance and/or deteriorate water resistance.
• In order to preserve the water resistant feature, as with any underwater housing, it
is recommended that the waterproof packing (and seals) are replaced annually.
For the Olympus distributors or service stations where the waterproof packing canbe replaced, visit Olympus website for your local area.
• The included accessories (e.g. USB-AC adapter) do not offer shock or water resistance.

8
Cautions
124 ENUsing Separately Sold Accessories

Some Common Issues and Their Solutions
The camera does not turn on even when a battery is loaded
The battery is not fully charged• Charge the battery with the charger.

The battery is temporarily unable to function because of the cold
• Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Remove the battery and warm it byputting it in your pocket for a while.

A language-selection prompt is displayed
The dialog shown in the illustration will be displayed in thefollowing circumstances:• The camera is turned on for the first time
• You previously ended initial setup without selecting alanguage

Please select your language.
Veuillez choisir votre langue.
Bitte wählen Sie Ihre Sprache.
Por favor, selecciona tu idioma.

Select a language as described in “Initial Setup” (P. 18).

No picture is taken when the shutter button is pressed

9

The camera has turned off automaticallyTroubleshooting• The camera automatically enters sleep mode to reduce the drain on the battery if nooperations are performed for a set period of time. g [Sleep] (P. 100)
Press the shutter button halfway to exit the sleep mode.
The camera will turn off automatically if left in sleep mode for 5 minutes.

The flash is charging• On the monitor, the # mark blinks when charging is in progress. Wait for the blinking tostop, then press the shutter button.

The camera temperature is elevated• The camera may shut down if its internal temperature rises after extended use. Remove
the battery and wait until the internal temperature has dropped enough for the camera to
be used again. The camera may also become warm to the touch during use, but this does
not indicate a malfunction.

130 ENUnable to focus• The camera cannot focus on subjects that are too close to the camera or that are notsuited to auto focus (the AF confirmation mark will blink in the monitor). Increase thedistance to the subject or focus on a high contrast object at the same distance from thecamera as your main subject, compose the shot, and shoot.

Subjects that are difficult to focus on
It may be difficult to focus with auto focus in the following situations.

*1 It is also effective to compose the shot by holding the camera vertically to focus, and thenreturning to the horizontal position to take the picture.

Noise reduction is activated

The date and time has not been set
The camera is used with the settings at the time of purchase• The date and time of the camera is not set when purchased. Set the date and time before
using the camera. g “Initial Setup” (P. 18)

The battery has been removed from the camera

9
Troubleshooting• When shooting night scenes, shutter speeds are slower and noise tends to appear inimages. The camera activates the noise-reduction process after shooting at slow shutter
speeds. During which, shooting is not allowed. You can set [Noise Reduct.] to [Off].
g [Noise Reduct.] (P. 97)• The date and time settings will be returned to the factory default settings if the camera isleft without the battery for approximately 1 day. The settings will be canceled more quickly
if the battery was only loaded in the camera for a short time before being removed. Before
taking important pictures, check that the date and time settings are correct.

EN 131Set functions are restored to their factory default settings
When you rotate the mode dial or turn off the power in a shooting mode other than P, A, orn, any settings you have altered will be reset to default values.

Some settings are unavailable
Some features may be unavailable depending on the shooting mode and camera settings.
g “List of Settings Available in each Shooting Mode” (P. 136)

Pictures are grainy
Select a larger image size or set compression to SF or F. g “Selecting image quality (Still
image quality)” (P. 56)
Image “noise” mottling can sometimes be reduced by lowering ISO sensitivity.
g “Changing ISO sensitivity (ISO)” (P. 52)

Image taken appears whitish
This may occur when the picture is taken in backlight or semi-backlight conditions. This isdue to a phenomenon called flare or ghosting. As far as possible, consider a composition
where strong light source is not taken in the picture. Flare may occur even when a lightsource is not present in the picture. If this does not have the desired effect, try shading thelens with your hand or other objects.

The light is caught in the picture.
Shooting with flash in dark situations results in an image with many flash reflections on dustin the air.

9

Unknown bright dot(s) appear on the subject in the picture taken

TroubleshootingThis may be due to stuck pixel(s) on the image pickup device. Perform [Pixel Mapping].
If the problem persists, repeat pixel mapping a few times. g “Pixel Mapping - Checking theimage processing functions” (P. 122)

The lens is cloudy or the monitor is hard to read
For rapid temperature change, lens fogging (condensation) may occur.
Turn off the power, and wait for the camera body to become acclimated to the surrounding
temperature and dry out before taking pictures.

Movies do not play back smoothly when viewed on a TV
The movie frame rate may not match the video standard used in the TV. View the movie on
a computer instead. Before recording movies for display on a TV, select a frame rate thatmatches the video standard used in the device. g [Video Frame Rate] (P. 87)

The heading is not correct
The compass does not function as expected in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic fields,such as from televisions, microwaves, large electric motors, radio transmitters, and highvoltage power lines. Normal function can sometimes be restored by moving the camera in a
figure eight while rotating your wrist.

Monitor

11
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
152 EN• 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 themonitor. 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 lowtemperatures 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 founddepending on the angle, but this is due to the structure of the monitor. This is not a malfunction.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver isconnected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
• Only the OLYMPUS-supplied USB cable should be used to connect the camera to USB enabled
personal computers.

FCC/ISED Caution
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONSThis equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment
and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines as this equipment has very low levelsof RF energy. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associatedwith using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wirelessdevices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy(RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects(by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects.
Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have notbeen confirmed by additional research. IM015 has been tested and found to comply with ISED radiation
exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets RSS-102 of the ISED radio
frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
