Help? Traveling with camera-- battery concern.

[deannamb]

My wonderful boyfriend bought me an Olympus TG-610 camera for my birthday in February and I love it. We are leaving tomorrow morning to fly to Kentucky to see his family for a week, and I'd like to bring my camera. However, I can't find anything online to help me with this-- does anyone know if the rechargeable battery in the camera is okay to go through the scanners?


I can find all sorts of literature on laptop batteries, DSLR batteries, and basic AA/AAA batteries... But not for the kind that my camera has and I do not want to mess up my camera or the battery.


We are NOT checking bags so everything will be going in a carry-on, and the camera will be in a camera bag in my purse.


Anyone that can help, I would appreciate.

no problem. Batteries are fine.

Thank you! This is only my second time flying and I still haven't gotten totally comfortable with the idea of having to hand over my stuff to be scanned and jostled around.

Hopefully by the next trip I'll feel comfortable enough to take my DSLR, but no luck yet.

I've sent mine through airport scanners multiple times with no problems. Unlike film, digital cameras need not fear airport scanners for any reason.
