In locations where a power outlet is accessible (usually indoors), you can use the AA-V101 AC Power Adapter supplied with the GC-S5 to take pictures or view images.

You should also use the AC power adapter when you connect your GC-S5 to a personal computer to avoid data transfer interruptions caused by an exhausted battery.

1

Plug the AC power adapter

into the power outlet.

 

 

n NOTES

 

 

• Use an easily accessible outlet that is close

 

 

to the camera.

 

• The shapes of the plug and the outlet vary,

2

 

depending on the country of use.

Insert the AC power adapter

plug into the DC IN 5V socket

on the camera.

!CAUTIONS

Ensure that you do not touch the AC power adapter against any other metal object as this could cause a short circuit.

Do not plug the AC power adapter into the DIGITAL socket as this could damage your camera.

Do not plug in the AC power adapter while you are using the battery. Switch the camera off first.

Do not load the battery while you are using the AC power adapter. Switch the camera off first.

If you disconnect the AC power adapter while there is no battery loaded in the camera, the date and time information will be lost. In this event, reset the date and time. (aP.64)

If you plug in the AC power adapter when there is no battery loaded in the camera, the viewfinder lamp may flash red. This does not indicate a fault, however.

AC Power Adapter

Use only the AA-V101 AC Power Adapter (supplied) with your GC-S5 Digital Still Camera.

The use of an AC Power Adapter other than the AA-V101 could result in damage to your GC-S5 Digital Still Camera.
