RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
Be sure to fully charge the supplied or separately sold battery pack before
using it in your camera. For charging the battery pack, use the supplied
charger.
Charge the battery pack if it is being used for the first time, and recharge it
whenever the remaining charge is low (see “CHECKING THE REMAINING
BATTERY PACK CHARGE” on page 182).
œ During recharging, the charger and battery pack will be warm. This is
normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
If there is interference to your TV or radio during recharging...
œ Move the battery pack and charger further away from the TV or radio.
Ambient temperature during recharging
œ It is recommended that the ambient temperature during recharging be
between about 10°C and 35°C. Due to the characteristics of the battery
pack, at temperatures below 10°C, it may not be possible to sufficiently
recharge it.
Recharge a battery pack in the following cases
œ A battery pack which has not been used for a long time
œ Newly purchased battery pack
