Preparing the camera
Notes
• The charging time differs depending on the remaining capacity of the battery back or
charging conditions.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10
to 30°C (50 to 86°F). You may not be able to efficiently charge the battery pack
outside of this temperature range.
• Connect the battery charger to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket).
• Do not try to charge the battery pack again right after it has been charged, or when it
has not been used after being charged. Doing so will affect the performance of the
battery pack.
• Do not charge any battery pack other than the “InfoLITHIUM” W series battery
pack in the battery charger (supplied) with your camera. Batteries other than the
specified kind may leak, overheat, or explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a
risk of injury from electrocution and burns.
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes, this may indicate a battery error or that a battery
pack other than the specified type has been installed. Check that the battery pack is
the specified type. If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack,
replace it with new one or another one and check if the battery charger operates
correctly. If the battery charger operates correctly, a battery error may have
occurred.
• If the battery charger is dirty, charging may not be performed successfully. Clean the
battery charger with dry cloth, etc.
To use your camera abroad — Power sources
You can use your camera and the battery charger and the AC-PW20 AC
Adaptor (sold separately) in any country or region where the power supply
is within 100 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz.
Note
• Do not use an electronic transformer (travel converter), as this may cause a
malfunction.
