Battery and charger

Use the single Olympus lithium-ion battery (BLM-1).
Other batteries cannot be used.
The camera's power consumption varies widely with usage and other conditions.
As the following consume a lot of power even without shooting, the battery will be drained
quickly.
• Pressing the shutter button halfway in shooting mode, performing auto focus repeatedly.
• Using live view.
• Displaying images on the LCD monitor for a prolonged period.
• When connected to a computer or printer.
When using a drained battery, the camera may turn off without the low battery warning
being displayed.
The battery will not be fully charged at the time of purchase. Charge the battery using the
designated charger (BCM-2) before use.
The normal charging time of the provided charger is approximately 5 hours (estimated).
Do not use chargers other than the one designated.

Using your charger abroad

The charger can be used in most home electrical sources within the range of 100 V to
240 V AC (50/60Hz) around the world. However, depending on the country or area you are
in, the AC wall outlet may be shaped differently and the charger may require a plug
9
adapter to match the wall outlet. For details, ask at your local electrical shop or travel
agent.
Do not use commercially available travel adaptors as the charger may malfunction.
