The number of pictures that you can take may vary

AA NiMH batteries (rechargeable batteries)
Being rechargeable, Olympus NiMH batteries are
reusable and economical. For details, refer to the
instruction manual for your charger.
Caution:
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced
with the incorrect battery type.
Dispose of the used battery following the instructions.
• The following types of batteries cannot be used:
Lithium battery pack (CR-V3)/AA (R6) manganese (zinc-
carbon) batteries/AA (R6) oxyride batteries/AA (R6) lithium
batteries
• Power consumption by the camera varies depending on which
functions are used.
• During the conditions described below, power is consumed
continuously and the battery becomes exhausted quickly.
• The zoom is used repeatedly.
• The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly in shooting
mode, activating the auto focus.
• A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extended period
of time.
• The camera is connected to a printer.
• Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn off
without displaying the battery level warning.
• Battery life varies depending on the type of battery,
manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc. Similarly, the camera
may turn off without displaying the battery level warning or may
display the battery level warning more quickly.
• Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to turn off

• Olympus NiMH batteries (included in some areas) are intended
for use only with Olympus digital cameras. Never use these
batteries with any other device.
• Always charge NiMH batteries (included in some areas) before
using them for the fi rst time, or if they have not been used for
a long period.
• Always charge sets of batteries (included in some areas)
(2 or 4) together.
• In some cases, alkaline batteries may have a shorter service
life than NiMH. Alkaline battery performance is limited,
especially at low temperatures. The use of NiMH batteries is
recommended.
• When operating the camera with battery power at low
temperatures, try to keep the camera and spare battery
as warm as possible. A battery that has run down at low
temperatures may be restored after it is warmed at room
temperature.
• Recommended temperature ranges for NiMH batteries:
Operation 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Charge 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F)
Storage -20°C to 30°C (-4°F to 86°F)
• Using, charging or storing the batteries outside these ranges
could shorten battery life or affect battery performance. Always
unload the batteries from the camera before storing the
camera for a long period.
• Before using NiMH batteries, always read the provided
instructions.
• The number of pictures you can take may vary depending on
the shooting conditions or batteries.
• Before going on a long trip, and especially before traveling
abroad, purchase extra batteries. A recommended battery may
be diffi cult to obtain while traveling.
• Please recycle batteries to help save our planet’s resources.
When you throw away dead batteries, be sure to cover their
terminals and always observe local laws and regulations.
