This camera uses one Olympus lithium ion battery(LI-70B). No other type of batteries can be used.

Caution:There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced

with the incorrect battery type.Dispose of the used battery following the instructions.(p. 66)

Power consumption by the camera varies depending on

which functions are used.

During the conditions described below, power is

consumed continuously and the battery becomesexhausted quickly.

The zoom is used repeatedly.The shutter button is pressed halfway repeatedly inshooting mode, activating the auto focus. A picture is displayed on the monitor for an extendedperiod of time.The camera is connected to a printer.

Using an exhausted battery may cause the camera to

turn off without displaying the battery level warning.The rechargeable battery is not fully charged at the timeof purchase. Use the supplied F-2AC USB-AC adapter(hereafter referred to as USB-AC adapter) to charge thebattery before use.

When the included USB-AC adapter is used, chargingusually takes approximately 3 hours (varies on usage).

this is not a malfunction.

When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the

edges may appear zigzagged on the monitor. This is not amalfunction; it will be less noticeable in playback mode.

In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may

take a long time to turn on or its color may change temporarily.

When using the camera in extremely cold places, it is a good

idea to occasionally place it in a warm place. An LCD monitor

exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures will

recover in normal temperatures.

The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision

technology. However, black spots or bright spots of light

may appear constantly on the LCD Monitor. Due to itscharacteristics or the angle at which you are viewing the

monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness.
