■ To charge the battery
1.
Positioning the positive and negative termi-
nals of the battery as shown in the illustration,
attach the battery to the charger unit.
• Plug the charger unit into a household power outlet.
2.
The CHARGE lamp on
the charger unit
should turn red,
indicating that
charging has started.
3.
Charging is complete when CHARGE lamp
turns green. Unplug the charger unit from the
power outlet, and then remove the battery from
the charger unit.
IMPORTANT!
• It takes about two hours to achieve a full charge. Ac-
tual charging time depends on current battery capac-
ity and charging conditions.
• Use only the charger unit (BC-20) that comes with the
camera to charge the special rechargeable lithium ion
battery (NP-30). Never use any other charger device.
• Charging may not start immediately if you have just
finished using the camera or if you are trying to charge
the battery where it is very hot or very cold. This condi-
tion is indicated when the CHARGE lamp is flashing at
slow speed. If this happens, simply move the battery
to an area where temperature is more moderate
(around 25°C (77°F)). The CHARGE lamp will turn red
and charging will start when the battery temperature
returns to the allowable charging temperature range.
• The CHARGE lamp flashes red at high speed during
charging if the battery is not attached to the charger
unit properly. Try removing it and then re-attaching the
battery. If this does not correct the problem, it can
mean there is something wrong with the charger unit
or battery.
• If the charger unit contacts or battery terminals be-
come dirty, wipe them clean with a cloth or cotton
swab.
• Even though it looks removable, never try to remove
the power plug from the charger unit.
