1
Getting started
Since the CR-V3 lithium battery pack has a long service life, it is convenient when traveling.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. However, if the batteries are repeatedly recharged before they are completely exhausted, the working time will gradually be reduced.
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. When taking pictures, use the viewfinder and turn off the monitor whenever possible to save power.
AC adapter
An AC adapter is useful for time-consuming tasks such as image downloads. 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. 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.
