On the battery charger
On the battery charger
• Do not charge battery packs other than an NP-
BK type battery pack in the battery charger
supplied with the 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.
• Remove the charged battery pack from the
battery charger. If you leave the charged battery
pack in the charger, battery life may be
shortened.
• The CHARGE lamp of the supplied battery
charger flashes in either way:
– Fast flashing: Turns the light on and off
repeatedly at the interval of 0.15seconds.
– Slow flashing: Turns the light on and off
repeatedly at the interval of 1.5seconds. (BC-
CSKA only)
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes fast, remove
the battery pack being charged, and then insert
the same battery pack into the battery charger
securely again.
When the CHARGE lamp flashes fast again,
this may indicate a battery error or that a battery
pack other than the specified type has been
inserted. Check that the battery pack is the
specified type.
If the battery pack is the specified type, remove
the battery pack, replace it with a 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.
• When the CHARGE lamp flashes slowly, it
indicates that the battery charger stops charging
temporarily on standby. The battery charger
stops charging and enters the standby status
automatically when the temperature is outside of
the recommended operating temperature.
When the temperature gets back within the
appropriate range, the battery charger resumes
charging and the CHARGE lamp lights up
again. We recommend charging the battery pack
in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to
30°C(50°F to 86°F). (BC-CSKA only)
