When using a lithium battery pack

Getting started

If the camera is left for about 1 hour with the batteries removed, the date and time settings will revert to the factory default settings.

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.

Camera

Electrical outlet

AC adapter

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.
