Do not touch the rubber gasket with excessive force. Do not remove the gaskets. The gaskets in your camera should be replaced after approximately three years to insure consistently good weatherproof performance. They may need more frequent replacement depending on use and wear. If the gaskets are damaged or need replacement, contact your nearest Olympus service center.
If you are taking pictures at the beach, you need to avoid getting sand on or inside of your camera. Transport your camera in its own case. Do not wrap your camera up with beach towels and carry it in your beach bag.
