Taking Pictures With Your Olympus C-2500L SLR

World Leaders in Film and

Filmless Photography

Get Ready...

Before you begin using your Olympus C-2500L SLR Filmless Digital Camera:

1. Charge and load the 4 "AA" NiMH batteries in the compartment at the bottom of the     

camera as indicated by the diagram imprinted on the camera body.

Load 1 3V Lithium battery with the "+" side facing upward in the compartment below 
the main battery compartment. This battery provides a constant charge to the system 
to sustain memory functions when the AA batteries are removed for recharging.

For best results, Olympus America Inc. strongly recommends using Olympus Brand Nickel 
Metal-Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable "AA" batteries, as system power requirements can be
ver y demanding. (Do not use manganese or lithium "AA" batteries, which may overheat 
and damage the camera.) An optional AC adapter may be used when downloading images 
to ensure a consistent power supply voltage.

Thank you for choosing the Olympus® C-2500L SLR, the most advanced filmless
digital camera available today. It offers a full range of advanced features and the
professional image quality only Olympus can provide in a compact, all-in-one design.
