*The battery life figures shown here were determined using an Olympus test method (When [Mic Select] is set to [Central Mic Off], and [LED] is set to [Off]). Actual battery life figures will vary greatly according to the battery used and usage conditions (Changing the playback speed or using the [Zoom Mic], [Noise Cancel], [Voice Balancer] and [Bluetooth] functions may affect the battery life).
*Battery life will be shorter when using a nickel-metal hydride rechargeable battery that has been used repeatedly.
*Battery life will be shorter when using a microSD card.
