CAUTION
• The CR-V3 lithium battery packs are not rechargeable.
• Make sure that the camera power is off before inserting the batteries.
• Alkaline batteries deliver markedly inferior performance, especially in cold
weather. For this reason, we highly recommend using lithium battery packs
or rechargeable NiMH batteries.
• Do not use zinc-carbon (manganese) batteries. Please read battery
warnings.
• Do not to touch the inside of the empty battery compartment.
• If the camera is left for about one hour with the batteries removed and the

WARNING
Batteries with any part of the outer seal (electrical insulation sheath) peeling
off, or any battery split along the seam, can leak, generate heat, or explode.
Never use damaged batteries in the camera. Store-bought batteries
occasionally may be defective, with all or part of the magnetic insulation
sheath peeling off. Never use batteries in this condition.
These batteries cannot be used:
Batteries with all or part of the electrical
insulation sheath peeled off.
Part of the negative electrode (–) has a
protruding bulge, although not covered with
the seal (insulation sheath).
Batteries that have a flat negative (–)
electrode
(Some batteries of this type have their
negative electrode covered with the seal
(insulation sheath) while others have no
such seal. Neither may be used).

Using the AC Adapter
(sold separately)
The camera may be operated on ordinary household current from a wall
outlet by using the optional AC adapter (sold separately). The batteries
in the camera are not charged even though the AC adapter is
connected.
CAUTION
• Olympus 3V adapter cannot be used with this camera.
NOTE
• When in use for long periods of
time the AC adapter may heat up
slightly. This is normal.
• When connecting or disconnecting
the AC adapter, always make sure
that the camera is turned off.
• Do not connect/disconnect the AC
adapter while the camera is
connected to a personal
computer. The camera always
turns on while it is connected to a
computer.
WARNING
Incorrect use may result in fire, electric shock or burns to the skin.
• Use the AC adapter appropriate for your region.
• Make sure the AC adapter is properly plugged into the outlet.
• Never plug in or unplug the AC adapter with wet hands.
• In the unlikely event that the AC adapter cord becomes hot, or you see or
smell smoke, unplug it immediately and discontinue use. If there is any
problem or malfunction with the AC adapter or camera, please contact your
Olympus dealer or an authorized Olympus service center for assistance.
• Do not use any adapter other than the Olympus adapter. Using a different
adapter can damage the camera or the power source, or cause other
malfunctions. Olympus will not be responsible for damage caused by the
use of other AC adapters.
• When unplugging the AC adapter always grasp the body, not the cord of
the adapter.
• Do not pull, bend, twist or modify the cord.
• If the cord is gouged or otherwise damaged, stop using the adapter and
contact your nearest authorized Olympus service center.
• Always unplug the adapter when the camera is not in use.

Learning the Basics
The fastest way to learn to use the camera is
simply to start taking pictures with it. This
chapter explains turning the camera on, taking
still shots, checking how they came out, and
turning the camera off.
Please have the camera in hand and practice
the operations described as you read the
following chapter.
17
18
Turning the Power On
1 Slide the lens barrier open
until it clicks.
• This turns the power on in
shooting mode.
• The lens extends and the flash
pops up.
• The monitor displays the
information shown at left.
• After a shor t time, the monitor
will go off.
• If the card cover is not
securely closed, the power is
not turned on even if the lens
barrier is opened.
• To turn off the power, see
“Turning the Power Off” (p.34).
Standby mode
If the lens barrier is left open and nothing is operated after three
minutes, the camera goes into standby mode. In this energy saving
mode, even if the monitor is illuminated, it will automatically go off. To
resume shooting take one of the following procedures.
• Lightly press the shutter button or zoom lever.
• Close (p.34) and then open the lens barrier.
• Press any button on the arrow pad, the OK button, the menu button or
the monitor button.
In the standby mode, the camera will turn off completely after about 4
hours of not being used. When using new batteries, it may take longer
for the camera to shut down automatically, depending on the type of
batteries being used. To extend battery life, turn the camera off
whenever you do not intend to be taking pictures for a while.
CAUTION
• Never open the card compartment cover, remove the card or batteries, or
disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is in operation as this could
result in damage to the data stored on the card.

The batteries are low. It is still possible to take pictures, but the power
may cut off while doing so. Replace the batteries.
The monitor will go out and
the green and orange lamps
next to the viewfinder will
illuminate simultaneously.
The batteries are dead. Replace
the batteries.
To recheck the batteries
Display the shooting menu first (p.72). When the shooting menu is
turned off, the remaining battery life will be displayed.
CAUTION
• Keep spare batteries on hand when taking the camera on long trips, when
using it to record important occasions, and during cold weather.
• If the battery is low, the camera may beep continuously after taking a
picture or turning the power on, and the frame number on the monitor may
blink. If this happens after taking a picture, the camera may not be taking
pictures properly. Replace the batteries before continuing to take pictures.
• Note that depending on the type of batteries being used, the timing of the
display may vary. When using NiMH batteries, will appear
more quickly than when using a lithium battery pack. Depending on the
conditions of use, may appear very early but the camera will still
continue to function normally for a longer time.
