Charging the Battery by Itself
• You can put the camera and the battery together on the battery
charging stand to charge the battery inside the camera and a
spare battery.
• The time required for full charge is about 100 minutes.
The appropriate ambient temperature range for charging the
battery is 0°C – 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The charging time may vary depending on the ambient
temperature and charging conditions.
• When the battery reaches the end of its service life, the time that
the camera can be operated becomes shorter even when the
battery is fully charged. In this event, replace the battery.
• You can also remove the battery from the camera and charge it
using the optional battery charger D-BC8.
