Battery precautions
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage.
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can
create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and
lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and may cause a re or
electric shock.
Notes about charging the battery
•
If the status lamp is o, ensure that the battery is inserted correctly.
•
If the camera is on while the battery is charging, the battery may not
fully charge. Turn o the camera before charging the battery.
•
Do not use your camera when you are charging the battery. This may
cause a re or electric shock.
•
Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the
power outlet, as this may cause a re or electric shock.
•
Let the battery charge for at least 10 minutes before turning on the
camera.
•
If you connect the camera to an external power source when the battery
is depleted, using high energy-consuming functions will cause the
camera to turn o. To use the camera normally, recharge the battery.
•
If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully charged, the
status lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.
•
Using the ash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge
the battery fully before using the camera.
•
If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove the
battery and insert it again.
•
If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or the
temperature is too high, the status lamp may blink in red. Charging will
start when the battery cools down.
•
Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is
nished, disconnect the cable from your camera.
•
Do not bend or place heavy objects on the AC cable. Doing so may
damage the cable.
