Battery protection function
When you try to charge the battery immediately after the
camera has been used continuously for a long period,
charging may not begin soon (the indicator lamp does not turn
red).
This is not a camera fault, but is for protecting the battery from
being charged while it is warm. Battery may degrade when
charged at high temperatures.
Leave the camera connected to the AC power adapter, and
charging will automatically begin within 30 minutes.
CAUTION Notes on charging the battery
• Turning the camera on during charging interrupts the
charging.
• Charging times increase at low temperatures.
Checking the battery charge
Turn the camera on and check the battery level indicator
on the LCD monitor.
AThere is ample battery charge. (Lit white)
BThe battery is almost half charged. (Lit white)
CThere is insufficient charge left in the battery. The
battery will soon run out. Have a charged battery
ready. (Lit red)
DThe battery is depleted. The display will shortly go
blank and the camera will stop working. Replace or
recharge the battery. (Blinking red)
CAUTION
• Due to the nature of the battery, the battery level
indicator ( , , or V) may appear early
when the camera is used in cold locations. Try warming
the battery in your pocket or a similar location before
use.
• Battery with no remaining charge (V blinking red)
may cause camera faults. Always load a fully charged
battery.
• Depending on the camera mode, the transition from
to V may occur more quickly.
