Olympus 100 manual Specifications, Care and Storage

20 CARE AND STORAGE

￿Do not leave the camera in any place exposed to excessive heat, humidity or direct sunlight — for example, in a car or on the beach.

￿Do not expose the camera to formalin or naphthalene.

￿If the camera gets wet, wipe it with a dry towel. The salt in seawater can be especially damaging.

￿Do not use organic solvents such as alcohol or paint thinner when cleaning the camera.

￿Do not leave the camera on or near a television, refrigerator or other appliance with a magnetic field.

￿Do not expose the camera to dust or sand as this could cause serious damage.

￿Do not shake the camera.

￿Do not apply excessive force to the zoom lens.

￿Do not expose the camera to extreme heat (over 40°C/104°F) or to extreme cold (below –10°C/14°F). Low temperatures, even within this range may sometimes cause deterioration in battery performance, temporarily disabling the camera.

￿Avoid leaving the camera unused for long periods of time. This can cause mold to grow on the camera as well as other problems. Try to press the shutter release button and check the operation of the camera before use.

￿Some airport X-ray machines can damage the film in your camera. Try to avoid passing your camera through these machines. Give it to the security officer for manual inspection.

￿Do not touch the front surface of the flash after using it continuously over a short period as the surface may be hot.
