Selecting optional batteries or an AC adapter
In addition to the batteries provided with the camera, the following types of
battery or AC adapter can be used. Choose the power source best suited to
the situation.
CR-V3 lithium battery pack (Not rechargeable)
Since the CR-V3 lithium battery pack has a long service life, it is convenient
when traveling.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable batteries)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. However,
charging the batteries repeatedly before using up their capacity will shorten
the life of the batteries per charge gradually.
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. Turn off the monitor whenever possible to save
power.
AC adapter
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. An AC adapter is useful for time-consuming tasks such as
downloading or printing out of images.
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.
