Quick Start Basics
2. Plug the charger unit into a household
power outlet.
About 4 hours 30 minutes are required to
reach full charge. The [CHARGE] lamp will
go out when charging is complete. Unplug
the power cord from the power outlet and
then remove the battery from the charger.
Other Charging Precautions
• Charge the battery in an area where the temperature is within the range of 5°C to
35°C (41°F to 95°F). Outside this temperature range charging can take longer than
normal or even fail.
• Use the special charger (BC-100L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-
100). Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different
charger can result in unexpected accident.
• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery
time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to
use it.
• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception.
If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or
radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.
