Insert the SmartMedia
™
Card
The SmartMedia card is where the camera stores your pictures. The pictures
you take remain on the SmartMedia card even when the camera is turned off
and/or the batteries are removed.
First, make sure the camera is OFF. Open the card cover door. Note the diagram on the inside of the
door. Match the orientation of the SmartMedia card to the diagram, and slide the card into the spring-
loaded slot as far as it will go. Close the cover until it locks into place; you will feel it snap closed.
Attach the carrying strap and lens cap retainer string
(OPTIONAL)
We recommend that you attach the strap and lens cap retainer string at this time to make the
camera easier to handle and prevent loss of the lens cap. Attach the strap as illustrated.
To remove a SmartMedia card, push it into the camera, and then release it. The card partially ejects
and can now be removed.

TIP: For best results, Olympus strongly recommends using four AA nickel metal
hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. An optional Olympus AC adapter also
is available, and is recommended when downloading images to ensure a consistent
power supply.
See the C-4000 Zoom Basic Manual for more information on battery use.
PREPARE THE CAMERA FOR USE
Battery compartment lock
Load the batteries
The CR-V3 lithium batteries included with your C-4000 Zoom
are much more powerful than standard AA alkaline batteries.
Please note that they are not rechargeable.
Load the two CR-V3 lithium batteries. Note they can only be
inserted with the indentations facing each other. The contact terminals
must be inserted first, as shown at right. Never force battery insertion.
When loading CR-V3 batteries ignore the illustration on the camera body.
If you are loading four AA type batteries into the compartment, load them as
indicated in the illustration on the camera body. Close the cover and lock the
battery compartment door.
