Before you begin using the D-460 Zoom:

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.

2. Insert the SmartMedia™ card. With the camera facing you, open the small door to the left of the lens barrier and slide the card into the slot.

This card is your “film”. It stores your images for reviewing, downloading, and printing. To insert, simply slide the card with the gold contacts facing the back of the camera into the slot and close the cover. To remove, gently pull the card out of the slot.

3. Turn on the power.

Slide open the lens barrier on the front of the camera until you feel a click. Icons representing camera default settings appear on the camera control panel, along with the number of pictures available at the preset memory settings. The lens barrel automatically extends.

To turn the camera off, slide the lens barrier halfway closed. The lens barrel retracts. Close the lens barrier completely.
