Loading batteries

Selecting optional batteries or an AC adapter

In addition to the batteries provided, this camera can also use the following types of batteries or AC adapter. Choose the power source best suited to the situation.

●CR-V3 lithium battery packs (Not rechargeable)

Because CR-V3 lithium battery packs have long lives, they are convenient when traveling. Do not peel off their labels.

●NiMH batteries (Rechargeable)

Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. If they are often charged without first using all their power, the amount of time they can be used will become gradually shorter.

●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 and the length of time you can shoot may vary greatly, depending on the battery manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc. To save power, turn off the monitor whenever possible.

●AC adapter

Be sure to use the specified AC adapter. An AC adapter is useful for timeconsuming tasks such as image downloads. 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.
