The proper tool I was a little hesitant to purchase this AC adapter because the description did not give any of the specifications. The manual that came with our Olympus D-490 camera warns that we cannot use the Olympus 3 amp adapter, so I was hesitant to order this one without knowing more. I took a chance since this was the only one I could find on Amazon, and luckily this was the one needed. The specs, for those who need to know are as follows: Class 2 power supply with Input - AC120V 50/60Hz 0.3A and Output - DC6.5V 2A Adapter for all digital Olympus cameras that use 4 AAs After reading the other posts, I reconfirmed that this adapter will work on all digital Olympus filmless cameras that use 4 AA batteries (including the C-3040). The URL to verify this is http://www.olympusamerica.com/accessory.asp?accessory=9 . On most of my electronic do-dads I make my own power supplies using various equipment lying around (I do electronics for a living), but when you're plunking down several hundred dollars for a good camera, it's wise to play it safe and use only what the manufacturer recommends. Not for me. I have lots of digicams, and I've actually only used this AC power supply a couple of times. Once I discovered the wonders of external card readers for downloading images into my PC (eg. SanDisk, Viking), I never again needed one of these. The exception would be if you want to do a lot of reviewing of your digipics on a TV/monitor; in that case you would find this an absolute necessity.
