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 image
downloads.
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.

Loading the batteries
Getting started
• Manganese (zinc-carbon) batteries cannot be used.
• If the battery power runs out while the camera is connected to a PC, the
image data may be lost or damaged. You are recommended to use the
AC adapter when transferring images to a PC. Do not connect or
disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is communicating with the
PC.
• Do not remove or load the batteries or connect or disconnect the AC
adapter while the camera is turned on. Doing so could affect the
camera’s internal settings or functions.
• The life of battery packs may vary according to the type of battery,
manufacturer, shooting conditions, etc.
• Power is consumed continuously during the conditions below. This
could shorten the life of the batteries.
• When the monitor is in the playback mode for an extended period
of time.
• Repeated zoom adjustments.
• Repeated auto-focus by depressing the shutter button halfway.
• When the camera is connected to a PC.
• Carefully read the AC adapter’s instructions before use.
• When using an AC adapter, the AC adapter supplies power to the
camera even if batteries are loaded in the camera. The AC adapter does
not charge batteries in the camera.

automatically. The lens retracts automatically 5 minutes after that.
Touch the shutter button or zoom lever to turn the monitor on.
The monitor is hard to see.

on the monitor screen. In this case, use the viewfinder. (Note that this
does not affect recorded pictures.)
• Press the shutter button gently using the ball of your finger. If it is
pressed hard, the camera may move, resulting in a blur.
• Never open the card cover, remove the batteries or disconnect the AC

Comparison of the viewfinder & monitor
Viewfinder Monitor
Advantages Camera movement does
not occur easily and
subjects can be seen
clearly even in bright
places.
Little battery power is used.
You can check the picture
area that the camera
actually records more
accurately.
Disadvantages When close to a subject,
the image in the viewfinder
is a little different from the
picture that the camera
actually records.
Camera movement can
occur easily and subjects
may be difficult to see in
bright/dark places. The
monitor uses more battery
power than the viewfinder.
Tips Use the viewfinder for
general snapshots
(landscape pictures, casual
shots, etc.).
Use the monitor when you
want to shoot while
checking the picture area
that the camera actually
records, or when you take
close-up shots of people or
flowers (macro shooting).
• The camera records a wider area than the image in
the viewfinder.
• As you get closer to the subject, the actual image
recorded becomes lower than the one in the
viewfinder (see left).

Shooting basics
If correct focus cannot be obtained
When correct focus cannot be obtained on the subject you want to shoot, you
can focus the camera on another point at roughly the same distance (focus
lock) and take the picture as explained below.
Determine the position of the subject after focusing (Focus Lock)
1Open the lens barrier fully.
• The camera turns on in the shooting
mode.
2Position the AF target mark on
the subject you want to focus on.
• When shooting a hard-to-focus
subject, point the camera at an object
about the same distance away as the
subject.
3Press the shutter button
halfway until the green lamp
lights.
• When the green lamp lights steadily,
the focus and the exposure are locked.
• When the green lamp blinks, the
focus and exposure are not locked.
Release your finger from the shutter button, re-position your subject
and press the shutter button halfway again.

Subjects that are difficult to focus on
Under certain types of conditions, the auto focus may not work properly. If this
happens, focus on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the
intended subject (focus lock), recompose your shot and then take the picture.
If the subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the
camera using the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway,
and return the camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button
pressed halfway and take the picture.

Using the flash
Shooting basics
Fill-in flash ( )
The flash fires regardless of the available light.This mode is useful for
eliminating shadows on the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for correcting the color shift produced by
artificial lighting (especially fluorescent light).
• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright
light.
Flash off ( )
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations
where flash photography is not desired or is prohibited, such as in an art
museum. You can also use this mode when you want to shoot a natural-
looking twilight or night scene.
• Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light
situations when in the flash off mode, the use of a tripod is
recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera
movement.
