INSERTING THE BATTERIES
The battery
In addition to the batteries provided with the camera, the following types of
battery can be used. Choose the power source best suited to the situation.
( 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.
This camera uses four AA (R6) alkaline batteries.
( NiMH batteries (rechargeable batteries)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. However, repeatedly
charging the batteries before using up their capacity will shorten the life of the batteries
per charge gradually. When you use rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries with
the battery charger specified by Olympus before use. For more details, refer to the
En
instruction manual attached to the charger.
This camera uses four NiMH batteries.
( Lithium battery pack (CR-V3)
The Olympus CR-V3 lithium battery pack has a long service life
allowing you to use the camera longer than with alkaline
batteries. However, it cannot be recharged. Do not remove the
label on the battery pack.
This camera uses two lithium battery packs.
Important
Manganese (zinc-carbon) batteries cannot be used.
Note
The amount of power consumed by the camera varies considerably
depending on shooting conditions, etc.
Power is consumed continuously during the conditions described below. This

The life-span of the batteries differ greatly according to the type and brand of
battery you use, as well as the shooting conditions.
If you use exhausted batteries or alkaline batteries, the camera may turn off
without displaying the battery level warning.
