Handling the camera

OLYMPUS AZ-2 ZOOM - Handling the camera - 1

WARNING

Do not use the camera in areas exposed to flammable or explosive gases.

● A fire or explosion may result.

Do 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.

Keep 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, cards 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.

Do 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.

Do 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.

Do 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.

Do 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.

Do not touch the camera or AC adapter until charging is finished and the battery has cooled.

- The camera and AC adapter become hot while charging. If you touch them for too long, you may suffer minor burns.

OLYMPUS AZ-2 ZOOM - WARNING - 1

CAUTION

Stop 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 disconnect a specified AC adapter (if attached). 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.

Do 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.

Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera

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

Do 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.

Use only the AC adapter specified by Olympus.

- Using a different AC adapter may damage the camera or power source, or result in accidents or fire. Ensure the adapter used is designed for your region or country. For more information, contact the nearest Olympus service center or the store of purchase. Olympus makes no representations or warranties regarding any damages caused by AC adapters not recommended by Olympus.

Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-temperature burn.

- When 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.
