Camera maintenance
•Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly.
Charge the battery until the indicator light turns green.
•If the indicator light blinks in orange or does not illuminate,
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 indicator light may turn orange.
Charging will start when the battery cools down.
•Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is
finished, disconnect the cable from your camera.
•Do not bend or place heavy objects on the AC cable. Doing so
may damage the cable.

- you connect the cable to the port on the front side of your
computer

when you dispose of used batteries.
