Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left
dirty.

The battery and USB-AC adapter

This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery
(LI-42B). No other type of batteries can be used.
Caution:
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced
with the incorrect battery type.
Dispose of the used battery following the instructions.
(p. 65)
Power consumption by the camera varies depending on
which functions are used.
During the conditions described below, power is
consumed continuously and the battery becomes
exhausted quickly.
The zoom is used repeatedly.
The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in
shooting mode, activating the auto focus.
A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended
period of time.
The camera is connected to a computer or printer.
Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to
turn off without displaying the battery level warning.
The rechargeable battery is not fully charged at the time
of purchase. Use the supplied F-2AC USB-AC adapter
(hereafter referred to as USB-AC adapter) or optional
LI-41C battery charger to charge the battery before use.
When the included USB-AC adapter is used, charging
usually takes approximately 3 hours (varies on usage).
The included USB-AC adapter has been designed to
be used only for charging. Make sure that operations
such as shooting, viewing images and so on are not
being used while the USB-AC adapter is connected to
the camera.
