of battery or AC adapter. You are recommended to choose the power source
1
best suited to the situation.
CR-V3 lithium battery packs (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.
NiMH batteries (Rechargeable)
Olympus NiMH batteries are rechargeable and economical. Their low-
temperature resistance makes them a good choice for cold areas.

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. Turn off the
monitor whenever possible to save power.
