B Notes About Charging with a Computer
• When connected to a computer, the camera automatically turns on and starts charging. If the
camera is turned off, charging stops.
• About 2 hours and 40 minutes are required to charge a fully exhausted battery. Charging time
increases when images are transferred while the battery is charging.
• The camera turns off automatically if there is no communication with the computer for 30 minutes
after the battery has finished charging.
B When the Charge Lamp Quickly Flashes Green
Charging cannot be performed, possibly due to one of the reasons described below.
• The ambient temperature is not suited to charging. Charge the battery indoors with an ambient
temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
• The USB cable is not connected correctly, or the battery is faulty. Make sure the USB cable is
connected correctly and replace the battery if necessary.
• The computer is in sleep mode and is not supplying power. Wake up the computer.
• The battery cannot be charged because the computer cannot supply power to the camera due to
the computer’s settings or its specifications.
