Quick Start Basics
Other Charging Precautions
• Use the special charger (BC-70L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-70).
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.
1. Open the battery cover.
Pressing down at the arrow marked on the battery cover,
slide it in the direction indicated by the arrow in the
illustration.
2. Load the battery.
With the EXILIM logo on the battery
facing downwards (in the direction of the
lens), hold the stopper next to the
battery in the direction indicated by the
arrow as you slide the battery into the
camera. Press the battery in until the
stopper secures it in place.
3. Close the battery cover.
Pressing the battery cover against the camera, slide it
closed.
