Make sure the strap is securely
fastened.
24
Attaching the strap
Chapter 1
● Always put the camera in its case (optional) when carrying it.
● Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera, as it can easily catch
on stray objects, causing serious damage.
● Attach the strap correctly as shown so that the camera does not fall off. If
the strap is attached incorrectly and the camera falls off, Olympus is not
responsible for any damages.
Thread the strap through the
strap eyelet.

Loading the batteries
Chapter 1
This camera uses a CR-V3 lithium battery pack or 2 AA (R6) NiMH batteries,
NiCd batteries, alkaline batteries or lithium batteries.
Important:
● CR-V3 lithium battery packs cannot be charged.
● Do not peel the label on a CR-V3 lithium battery pack. If an insulating sheet
covers the terminals, peel it off ONLY from the terminals.
Make sure the camera is turned off (i.e. the lens barrier is closed and the
monitor if turned off).

Battery compartment lock
Close the battery compartment cover, then
press it down and slide it in the opposite
direction of the arrow (É) printed on it.
● When pressing the battery compartment
cover shut, be sure to press the center of
the cover, as it may be difficult to close
properly by pressing the edge.
● Make sure the cover is completely closed.

Loading the batteries (Cont.)
Chapter 1
● 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 2 – 3 days with the batteries removed, all the internal
settings will revert to the default settings.
● If the camera is in operation for a long time, its internal temperature rises.
When the temperature gets too high, the camera will stop working. If this
happens, remove the battery and wait until the camera has cooled down
before trying to use it again.
● When the camera is in operation, its external temperature rises. This is not
a malfunction.
6
● After taking a picture or when turning on the power with batteries that
are running low, the camera may emit several short beeps and the
number of storable pictures will blink. If this happens, the picture just
taken will not turn out properly. Replace the batteries and take the
picture again.
If remaining battery power is low, the battery check indication on the control
panel changes as follows while the camera is turned on or while the camera
is used.

Selecting batteries
Lithium battery pack
Since the CR-V3 lithium battery pack has a long service life, it is
convenient when traveling. The CR-V3 lithium battery pack cannot be
charged.
Rechargeable batteries
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. The 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.
● Manganese (zinc-carbon) batteries cannot be used.
● The lives of battery packs may vary according to the type of battery,
manufacturer, camera shooting conditions, etc.
● When connecting the camera to a PC, it is recommended that you use
the optional AC adapter. (P. 183)
● 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.
• Repeated auto-focus by depressing the shutter button halfway.
