Get Ready...

indicated by the diagram imprinted on the camera body.

battery packs or four “AA” nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries. Four “AA” lithium or nickel
cadmium (NiCd) batteries may also be used. Do not use manganese batteries. An optional
Olympus AC adapter (C-7AU) is available and is recommended when downloading images to
ensure a consistent power supply voltage.
