Selecting batteries or the optional AC adapter
In addition to the batteries provided, this camera can use the following types of battery or AC adapter. You are recommended to 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. Do not peel off the label on a CR-V3 lithium battery pack. If an insulating sheet covers the terminals, peel it off only from the terminals.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. Their lowtemperature resistance makes them a good choice for cold areas.
AA (R6) alkaline batteries
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline batteries, which are easy to get anywhere. However, the number of pictures that you can store in the camera may vary considerably with AA batteries, depending on the battery manufacturer, camera shooting conditions, etc. Use this type of battery only when you have no other choices available. Turn off the monitor whenever possible to save power.

AC adapter

The optional Olympus AC adapter allows you to power your camera from a household electrical outlet. 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. Electrical outlet

AC adapter Camera

Manganese (zinc-carbon) batteries cannot be used. If the batteries become exhausted, when the camera is connected to a PC for a long time while powered by the batteries and you are downloading images from the camera, the image data may be lost or damaged. You are therefore recommended to use the optional AC adapter. However, do not connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is connected to the PC. Do not remove or load the batteries or connect or disconnect the AC adapter while the camera is turned on. This may affect the camera's internal settings or functions. The life of battery packs may vary according to the type of battery, manufacturer, camera shooting conditions, etc. Power is consumed continuously during the conditions below. This could reduce the number of pictures that can be taken. When the monitor is turned on. When the monitor is in the playback mode for an extended period of time. Repeated zooming of lens. Repeated auto-focus by depressing the shutter button halfway. When the camera is connected to a PC.
Inserting the card (SmartMedia)
This reference manual uses the term card when referring to SmartMedia. The pictures you have taken are stored in the card.

Card basics

Images recorded and stored on the card can easily be erased, overwritten, and/or edited on a PC.
Getting started Contact area Comes into contact with the cameras signal read contacts. Write-protect area Attach the provided write-protect seal when you want to protect your data from accidental erasure or overwriting. Index area Use the provided index label to indicate the cards contents.

The following cards can be used: Provided standard card Optional Olympus CAMEDIA-brand cards (4 MB - 128 MB) Commercially available 3 V (3.3 V) cards (4 MB - 128 MB)
2 MB cards cannot be used. Commercially available 5 V cards cannot be used. This camera may not recognize a non-Olympus card (such as a 3 V (3.3 V)), or a card that was formatted on another device (such as a PC, etc.). Before use, be sure to format the card on this camera. Formatting (Card setup) ( p.82)
Handling precautions Operating temperature: 0C to 55C (32F to 131F); Storing temperature: -20C to 65C (-4F to 149F); Humidity: up to 95% Put the card into its anti-electrostatic case for storage or transportation. Do not bend, drop, or apply any physical shock to the card. Do not touch the contact area of the card. Do not reuse the write-protect seal. Read the provided SmartMedia instruction manual carefully.

Never open the card cover, or remove the card or the batteries while the camera is turned on. Doing so could destroy all data on the card. Destroyed data cannot be restored.

Turning the power on/off

When shooting pictures
Power on: Open the lens barrier. The camera turns on in the shooting mode. The lens extends and the flash pops up. If the lens does not extend, the lens barrier is not fully open. Open the lens barrier until it clicks.
If the date and time have reverted to the factory default settings, Y/M/D appears on the monitor. Setting the date and time ( p.20)

Wait until the lens is fully retracted before closing the lens barrier completely. The camera turns off. (The monitor also turns off.) Press the flash down manually until it locks in place.
To save battery power, the camera automatically enters the sleep mode after about 3 minutes of non-operation. If the monitor is on, it will automatically turn off. The camera activates again as soon as you lightly press the shutter button or zoom lever. Whenever possible, turn the camera off when you do not intend to take any pictures for a while. Do not push the lens barrier forcefully against the lens as this may damage the lens or cause it to malfunction.

The seconds remaining varies depending on the record mode and the amount of space available on the card. You cannot record movies with sound.
Zooming in on a subject (Optical zoom/Digital zoom)
Telephoto and wide-angle shooting are possible at 3x magnification using the optical zoom (equivalent to 38 mm -114 mm on a 35 mm camera). By combining the 3x optical zoom with the 2.5x digital zoom, you can obtain zoom magnification of approximately 7.5x (equivalent to 38 mm - 285 mm on a 35 mm camera). When the record mode is set to SQ2, the 5x digital zoom is available.
