B Notes About Charging
Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other
than Charging AC Adapter EH-71P, and do not use a commercially available USB-AC
adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

when you press the power switch. Press and hold the c (playback) button to turn
on the camera in playback mode and play back images. Shooting is not possible.
