Preparation
Preparation
Charging the Battery
• Use the dedicated charger and battery.
• The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use.
• Charge the battery with the charger indoors.
• Charge the battery in a temperature between 10 oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF). (The battery
temperature should also be the same.)
∫ When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes
•
The battery temperature is excessively high or low. The charging time will be longer than
normal. Also, charging may not be completed.
• The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth.
Note
•
After charging is completed, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical
outlet.
• The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also
becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
• The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after being charged.
• The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not
recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully
charged. (The battery has characteristics that will reduce its operating duration and cause the
battery to swell up.)
• When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging
the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.
• Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the
resulting heat generated.
Attach the battery with attention to
the direction of the battery.
Connect the charger to the electrical
outlet.
• Charging starts when the [CHARGE] indicator
A lights green.
• Charging is complete when the [CHARGE]
indicator A turns off (after approx. 120 min
maximum).
Detach the battery after charging is
completed.
