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 packs (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.
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. 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.
The power will be drawn from the AC
adapter even if there are batteries in the camera. The batteries in the camera
will not be recharged.
