First, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the key areas of camera

Get Ready...

Before you begin using the C-3000ZOOM:

1. Load two CR-V3 battery packs* in the compartment at the bottom of the camera as

indicated by the diagram imprinted on the camera body.

For best results, Olympus America Inc. strongly recommends using two CR-V3 lithium

battery packs or four “AA” nickel metal-hydride (NiMH) batteries. Four “AA” lithium or nickel

cadmium (NiCd) batteries may also be used. Do not use manganese batteries. An optional

Olympus AC adapter (C-7AU) is available and is recommended when downloading images to

ensure a consistent power supply voltage.

* Non-rechargeable

2. Insert the SmartMedia™ Memory Card. Open the door to the right of the LCD panel

and slide the card into the slot. The SmartMedia card is your “film”. It stores your images

for reviewing, downloading, and printing. To insert, simply slide the card in—with the gold

contacts facing you—until you feel the gentle click of the card holder. To eject, lightly press

the card again.
