 Removing Batteries

To remove the batteries from the cartridge, slide them in toward the connectors and then lift them out.

Batteries and Chargers

• The camera uses two Olympus rechargeable Li-ion batteries. Use only genuine Olympusbrand batteries.

• Camera power consumption varies widely with the conditions of use.

• The following lead to greatly increased power consumption even when no photographs are taken or movies recorded:

- Keeping the shutter button pressed halfway for repeated autofocus operations

- Viewing pictures in the monitor for extended periods

- Using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth

- Leaving the camera connected to a computer

• The camera may turn off without warning when the batteries are exhausted.

• The batteries are not fully charged at purchase. Use a battery charger to charge batteries before ﬁ rst use.

• Remove the batteries before putting the camera into storage for periods of a month or more. Leaving the batteries in the camera for extended periods shortens their lives, potentially rendering them unusable.

• The supplied chargers take roughly two hours to charge the supplied batteries.

• Use only chargers speciﬁ cally designated for use with the supplied batteries. Similarly, use only batteries speciﬁ cally designated for use with the supplied chargers.

• Incompatible batteries may explode (or rupture) during use.

• Follow the instructions in “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS” (P. 664) when preparing used batteries for disposal.

, or GPS

Using Y our Charger Abroad

• The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to 240 V AC (50/60 Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you are in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger may require a plug adapter to match the wall outlet.

• Do not use commercially available travel adapters as the charger may malfunction.

Using External Power Sources

Connecting via USB

Batteries inserted in the camera will charge when the camera is connected to a USB-AC adapter, computer, or other USB device via a USB cable. The batteries charge only when the camera is off.

Devices that conform to the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) standard can also be used to power the camera. g “6-6 Powering the Camera via USB (USB Power Delivery)” (P. 625)

 Charging via USB

1 Conﬁ rm that the camera is off.

2 Connect the camera to the external device via USB.

• When attaching the USB cable, use the supplied cable protector and cable clip to prevent damage to the connectors. g “Attaching Cable Protectors” (P. 29)

• The CHARGE lamps light during charging. Charging times vary with the output of the USB device. The lamps each go out in turn as the batteries reach full charge.

• If only one battery is inserted, the camera will charge the battery in whichever bay is occupied.

3 Charging ends when the camera is turned on.

• The batteries cannot be charged via USB when the camera is on.

• If a charging error occurs, the CHARGE lamps will blink. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.

• USB charging is available when the battery temperature is between 0 and 40 °C.

• If connected to both an AC adapter and a USB device, the camera will receive power only from the AC adapter.

• The supply of power ends when the batteries are charged. Disconnect and reconnect the USB cable to resume charging.

• The batteries will not charge while the camera is off if pictures are being uploaded to a smartphone via Wi-Fi (background auto upload). g “Connecting When the Camera Is Off (Power-off Standby)” (P. 590)

 Powering the Camera via USB

The camera can be powered using mobile batteries or similar devices connected via USB. The devices must:

Standard: Conform to the USB Power Delivery (USB PD) standard Output: Be rated for an output of 9 V 3 A, 15 V 2 A, or 15 V 3 A

For more information, see “6-6 Powering the Camera via USB (USB Power Delivery)” (P. 625).

Optional AC Adapters

While inserted in the camera, batteries can be charged using an optional AC-5 AC adapter (on-board charging). The AC adapter can also be used to power the camera. When powered by an AC adapter, the camera can be used even if no batteries are inserted. Use only AC adapters designated for used with the camera. The power cable supplied with the AC adapter is not to be used with other devices.

1 Conﬁ rm that the camera is off.

2 Open the DC connector cover.

3 Connect the AC-5 by plugging the DC jack into the

camera DC connector.

• The batteries will charge while the camera is off.

• Securely close the DC connector cover when the AC adapter is not in use.

• If batteries are inserted in the camera, the CHARGE lamps light while the batteries charge. The lamps each go out in turn as the batteries reach full charge.

• If only one battery is inserted, the camera will charge the battery in whichever bay is occupied.

• Charging via AC adapter is available when the battery temperature is between 0 and 40 °C.

• Never remove batteries or memory cards while the card access lamp is lit or the memory card access indicator (P. 86, 88, 329, 330) is displayed.

Card access lamp

Using Two Memory Cards

When two memory cards are inserted, you can choose how each card is used according to your goals. g [Card Slot Settings] (P. 547)

• Record only to a selected card

• Record to a selected card until it is full, then record to the second card

• Record pictures with different sizes or compression ratios to different cards

• Record copies of each picture to both cards

For information on card role selection, see “2-3 Card-Related Settings” (P. 71).

Memory Cards

This manual refers to storage devices as “memory cards”. The camera uses third-party SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory cards conforming to the SD (Secure Digital) standard. Visit the Olympus website for the latest information.

• Use a memory card with a Speed Class of 10 or better when recording movies.

• Use a memory card with a UHS-II or UHS-I Speed Class of 3 or better when:

Recording movies with [4K] or [C4K] selected for [nK]/Recording movies with [A-I] (AllIntra) selected for the [nK] bit rate g [nK] (P. 321)

• Some data remain when memory cards are formatted or pictures are deleted. To protect your personal information when disposing of memory cards, destroy the card or take other steps to render the data unrecoverable.

• SD memory cards are equipped with a write-protect switch. Data cannot be written to the card when the switch is in the “LOCK” position. Returning the switch to its original position allows data to again be written to the card.

Choosing an Aperture (A: Aperture-Priority AE)

In this mode, you choose the aperture (f/-number) and the camera automatically sets the shutter speed for optimal exposure according to subject brightness. Lower aperture values (larger apertures) reduce the depth of the area that appears to be in focus (depth of ﬁ eld), blurring the background. Higher aperture values (smaller apertures) increase the depth of the area that appears to be in focus in front of and behind the subject.

Lower aperture values… Higher aperture values…

Choosing a Shutter Speed (S: Shutter-Priority AE)

In this mode, you choose the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets aperture for optimal exposure according to subject brightness. Faster shutter speeds appear to “freeze” fast-moving subjects. Slower shutter speeds add blur to moving objects, lending them a sense of motion for a dynamic effect.
