Loading the batteries
Selecting optional batteries or an AC adapter
In addition to the batteries provided with the camera, the following types of
battery or AC adapter can be used. Choose the power source best suited to
the situation.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable batteries)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. However,
charging the batteries repeatedly before using up their capacity will shorten
the life of the batteries per charge gradually.
AA (R6) alkaline batteries
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline batteries,
which are easy to obtain anywhere. However, the number of pictures that you
can take may vary considerably depending on the battery manufacturer,
shooting conditions, etc.
AC adapter
An optional Olympus CAMEDIA-brand AC adapter allows you to power your
digital camera from a common AC wall outlet. Be sure to use the specified AC
adapter. An AC adapter is useful for time-consuming tasks such as
downloading or printing out of images.
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.

About the internal memory and the card
Images taken are stored in the internal memory.
You can also use an optional xD-Picture Card (referred to as “card” in this
manual) to store images. The card has greater capacity than the internal
memory, and so, is able to store more images. The card is convenient, for
example, when you are traveling and you want to take a lot of pictures.
Internal memory basics
The internal memory corresponds to a film of normal camera for recording
pictures you have taken.
Pictures recorded and stored in the internal memory can easily be erased,
overwritten, and/or edited on a PC. The internal memory cannot be replaced
or removed from the camera.
Relationship between the internal memory and the card
The monitor displays which type of the memory (internal or card) is being
used for shooting and displaying images.
• The internal memory and the card cannot be used at the same time.
• When the card is inserted, the internal memory is disabled.
• When you want to use the internal memory, remove the card.
• You can copy all the image data stored in the internal memory to a card.
