That is not the Olympus....it is a new Nikon.  I finally couldn't take 
it anymore.  The Olympus is a great camera, but it won't keep a battery 
long enough to even take pictures at a rate of 15 minutes.  So I got a 
Nikon Cool pix....movies and everything...built in mic....nice little 
pocket machine!
