or to support light--weight items when the camera is mounted on
a tripod.

Battery Memory
The Olympus
i--SPEED
contains a battery powered clock and
memory. This is used to keep track of the time and date while
the camera is switched off. The memory is also used to store
some of the user controls, such as the TV monitor standard and
the language setting. The battery is a non--replaceable lithium
cell which should last for approximately 10 years. In the event of
battery failure, default values will be used at each switch--on.
