Preparing the Camera
Charging the Battery Pack
Use the following procedures to charge the battery pack the first time you
use the camera or when the Change the battery pack message displays.
Battery charger model names and types vary by region.
Insert the battery pack all the way into the battery charger as shown and
insert the chargers plug into a power outlet.
Align the battery pack correctly with the arrows on it and the charger.
The charge indicator will light red while the battery pack is charging. It
will change to green when the charge is complete.
After charging, unplug the battery charger and remove the battery pack.
To protect the battery pack and prolong its life, do not charge
it for longer than 24 hours continuously.
Since this is a lithium ion battery pack, you need not completely
discharge it before recharging. It can be recharged at any point.
It takes approximately 130 minutes to fully charge the battery
pack from a fully discharged state (based on Canons testing
standard). Please charge it at an ambient temperature ranging
between 5º and 40º C (41º and 104º F).
Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature
and the battery packs charge state.
See Battery Capacity (p. 139).
You may hear a noise during charging. This is not a malfunction.
