NOTE

•Even if you power on the camera, the battery will continue to charge if there is a USB connection with a computer. In this case, however, back lamp operation will change as described below.

IMPORTANT!

•Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.

•When charging the camera by connecting it to a computer, you may need to replug the USB cable if rebooting the computer.

•A charging error can occur immediately after charging begins or some time after charging begins. A charging error is indicated by the back lamp flashing red.

Other Charging Precautions

•Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in unexpected accident.

•A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery time to cool before charging it.

•A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to use it.

•Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or radio.

•Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

•Do not use the USB adapter with any other device.
