Power for the Stylus 1s comes courtesy of Olympus' proprietary BLS-50 rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack, which is CIPA-rated at 450 shots on a charge (with 50% using flash). The camera ships with a dedicated battery charger in the product bundle.

This camera is outstanding precisely because it eschews the absurd zoom range and pixel count of its competitors. For anyone looking for the virtues of a mirrorless camera but who doesn’t need or want interchangeable lenses the Stylus 1s is an obvious...
