Loading the batteries
Selecting batteries or the optional AC adapter
In addition to the batteries provided, this camera can use the following types
of battery or AC adapter. You are recommended to choose the power source
best suited to the situation.
CR-V3 lithium battery pack (Not rechargeable)
Getting started
Since the CR-V3 lithium battery pack has a long service life, it is convenient
when traveling.
Do not peel off the label on a CR-V3 lithium battery pack. If an insulating sheet
covers the terminals, peel it off only from the terminals.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. Their lowtemperature resistance makes them a good choice for cold areas.
AA (R6) alkaline batteries
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline batteries,
which are easy to get anywhere. However, the number of pictures that you
can store in the camera may vary considerably with AA batteries, depending
on the battery manufacturer, camera shooting conditions, etc. Use this type
of battery only when you have no other choices available. Turn off the monitor
whenever possible to save power.
AC adapter
The optional Olympus AC adapter
allows you to power your camera
from a household electrical outlet.
Use an AC adapter designed to
operate on the AC voltage in the
area the camera is being used.
Consult your nearest Olympus
dealer or service center for details.

Loading the batteries
• Manganese (zinc-carbon) batteries cannot be used.
• If the batteries become exhausted, when the camera is connected to
a PC for a long time while powered by the batteries and you are
downloading images from the camera, the image data may be lost or
damaged. You are therefore recommended to use the optional AC
adapter. However, do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter while
the camera is connected to the PC.
• Do not remove or load the batteries or connect or disconnect the AC
adapter while the camera is turned on. This may affect the camera's
internal settings or functions.
• The life of battery packs may vary according to the type of battery,
manufacturer, camera shooting conditions, etc.
• Power is consumed continuously during the conditions below. This
could reduce the number of pictures that can be taken.
• When the monitor is turned on.
• When the monitor is in the playback mode for an extended
period of time.
• Repeated zooming of lens.
• Repeated auto-focus by depressing the shutter button halfway.
• When the camera is connected to a PC.
