Selecting the Appropriate Batteries
䡵
This camera can be powered by a single
long-life lithium battery pack.

service life which provides convenience when
traveling. Insert the battery pack correctly in the
direction shown in the illustration on the right.
䡵
This camera can be powered by rechargeable batteries,
which can be used repeatedly.
䢇
The NiMH batteries from Olympus (including battery charger) are rechargeable
and economical. You can recharge them overnight, and their high low-
temperature resistance makes them effective in cold areas.
䡵
This camera can also be powered by easily available
alkaline batteries.
䢇
If your battery pack’s power runs out, you can replace it with R6/AA alkaline
batteries which are easily available anywhere.
䢇

Alkaline batteries have a lot of variation in their performance and deteriorate
particularly at low temperatures. It is recommended that lithium battery packs
or NiMH batteries be used.

If the terminals inside the battery compartment are dirty, it will noticeably
shorten the life of the batteries. Do not touch the inside of the battery
compartment.

If the camera is left for about 1 day with the batteries removed, all the internal
settings will revert to the default settings.

Be sure to turn the camera off before replacing the batteries. Removing the
batteries or battery pack (or unplugging the AC adapter) while the camera’s
power is on may reset the date/time settings.
