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)
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 low-temperature 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.
