The battery

In addition to the batteries provided with the camera, the following types of

(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.

(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

the battery charger specified by Olympus before use. For details, refer to the
instruction manual for your charger.
