QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: How long will the battery last?

A:A new 3V lithium battery will last for roughly 15 rolls of 24-exposure film on which the flash was used on half of all the shots (determined under Olympus test conditions). If you do not use the flash and zoom very often, the battery will last much longer.

Q:Why does the flash get hot?

A:If the flash is used continuously, it may become hot. If this happens, stop using the camera for a while.

Q:Can I use infrared film?

A:No, you cannot.

Q:How should I clean the lens?

A:Wipe the lens gently with lens cleaning tissue that has been moistened with a small amount of lens cleaning fluid.

Q:Can I mount a filter or hood?

A: No, you cannot.

Q: What should I do when both the orange and green

lamps are blinking and the camera doesn't work?

A:Release your finger from the flash. The camera will reactivate.
