(AA (R6) alkaline batteries
When you need batteries in a hurry, you can use AA (R6) alkaline batteries, which are

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 batteries per charge.
The batteries are not fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the batteries with the
battery charger specified by Olympus before use. For details, refer to the instruction
manual for your charger.
