the Appropriate Batteries” on the next
page and separately provided
“Battery Handling Precautions”.
PREPARATION
20
Selecting the Appropriate Batteries
m Lithium battery pack
v The CR-V3 lithium battery pack (Olympus
LB-01) features a long service life, lasting
many times longer than conventional
batteries, offering great convenience when
traveling.
Insert the battery pack correctly.
The lithium battery pack is not rechargeable.
m Rechargeable batteries
v The NiMH batteries from Olympus (including battery charger) are rechargeable
and economical. You can recharge them quickly.
Insert the batteries in the correct directions shown below.
m Alkaline batteries
v If your battery pack's power runs out, you can replace it with R6/AA alkaline
batteries which are easily available anywhere.
v When alkaline batteries are used, the number of shootable images varies widely
depending on the brand and operation environment. Turn off the monitor
whenever you are not taking pictures, or use the viewfinder to take pictures.
v When you view the monitor to take pictures, the battery life could be extremely
short. This is not malfunctioning: Turn off the monitor and continue to take
pictures using the viewfinder.
21
PREPARATION
CR-V3 lithium battery packs cannot be charged.
Alkaline batteries have a lot of variation in their performance and deteriorate
particularly at low temperatures. It is recommended that lithium battery packs
or NiMH batteries be used.
Zinc-carbon (manganese) batteries and R6/AA lithium batteries cannot be used.
Please read the separately provided “Battery Handling Precautions”.
If the terminals inside the battery compartment are dirty, it will noticeably
shorten the life of the batteries. Do not touch the inside of the battery
compartment.
If the camera is left for about 1 hour with the batteries or battery pack removed,
the date/time setting will revert to the default setting.
Be sure to turn the camera off before replacing the batteries or battery pack.
Removing the batteries or battery pack (or unplugging the AC adapter) while the
camera’s power is on may reset the date/time settings.
An alarm could sound if exhausted batteries are left in the camera for long.
Replace the batteries with new ones in this case.
Do not use batteries whose exterior is not completely covered by an insulating
sheet. If such batteries are used, they may cause leakage, excessive heat, or
explosion. Some batteries are sold with a partial insulating sheet, or without
any insulating sheet at all. Do not use these batteries under any circumstances.
The following R6/AA batteries cannot be used
Batteries whose exterior is only partially
covered, or not covered at all, by an
insulating sheet.
Batteries whose œ terminals are raised, but
not covered by an insulating sheet.
Batteries whose œ terminals are flat and not
completely covered by an insulating sheet.
(Such batteries cannot be used even if the œ
terminals are partially covered.)
PREPARATION

Inserting the Memory Card (SmartMedia)
Check that the lens barrier is
closed and nothing is
displayed on the monitor.
1. Open the card cover.
2. Insert the card in the direction shown
in the figure. Insert the card
completely until a slight click is heard
and the card is locked in place.
The insertion direction is indicated on
Card insertion direction marking
To remove the card:
Press the card gently. When the card ejects
slightly, pull out the card straight out as shown
in the direction of A.
the seal inside the card cover.
3. Close the cover securely until it
clicks.
[ Now the camera is ready for shooting.
Never attempt to open the card cover
or remove the card or batteries
while the camera power is on.
Otherwise, the image data on the
card may be destroyed. Remember
that it is impossible to restore image
data once it has been destroyed.
A card is a precision device. Do not
apply excessive force or shock to it.
Hold the card by the edges. Do not
touch the gold-colored metallic
parts.
PREPARATION
Selecting the Appropriate Card
Prepare another card.
v When you expect to shoot a large number of images (while traveling, on
special occasions, etc.), it is a good idea to bring an extra card (in addition
to the provided 8 MB card).
v The number of images you can shoot varies according to the card capacity and
Record mode used. Select a suitable card by referring to the following table.
Numbers of Images You Can Shoot (Approximate Numbers)
Record Mode
SmartMedia
capacity
Image size
(pixels)
8 MB82248
16 MB1654917
32 MB3319935
64 MB66419971
128 MB1331*399142
*“999” is displayed on the monitor when the number of shootable images exceeds 999.
The commercially available 5 V card cannot be used with this camera. Use the
Olympus brand card or a commercially available 3 V (3.3 V) card.
Unusable cards
This camera may not be able to recognize a card that is not manufactured by
Olympus or Lexar or a card which has been formatted on another device such as a
PC. To avoid problems, you should format each card before using it on this camera.
Using the Three Record Modes
SQ: Select this mode when you want to attach the image to e-mail, simply view it on your PC
screen, or want to shoot more images per card.
Select this mode when you need image quality in between SQ and SHQ. Images can be enlarged
HQ:
to a certain degree when they are viewed on a PC screen. (This is the default recording mode.)
SHQ: Select this mode when you want to print the image with high quality or a large size or
to retouch it on your PC.
v For details on the Record modes and how to select them, refer to
“Selecting the Image Quality” (Page 54).
v The number of shootable images is also variable because the data
quantity per image is variable depending on the shot subject.
v The image counter may not decrement when an image is shot and may
not increment even when an image is erased.
v Cards with a capacity of 4 MB or more can be used with this camera.
v For details on handling your card, refer to the instructions provided with it.
