of battery can be used. Choose the power source best suited to the
situation.
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.
This camera uses two AA (R6) alkaline batteries.
NiMH batteries (rechargeable batteries)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. However, repeatedly
charging the batteries before using up their capacity will shorten the life of the
batteries per charge.The batteries are not fully charged at the time of purchase.
Charge the batteries with the battery charger specified by Olympus before use.
For details, refer to the instruction manual for your charger.
