Indicator

Connect the DC plug of the compact power adapter to the camera’s DC IN terminal.

The indicator beside the viewfinder will blink orange while the battery pack is charging and change to steady orange when it is approximately 90% charged, which is adequate for use. If it is charged for approximately 2 more hours, it will become fully charged and the indicator will switch to green.

After charging the battery, remove it from the camera when the camera will not be used.

Camera, Basic Functions

• If the power is turned on while charging, the battery pack will stop charging and the compact power adapter will power the camera.

This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or discharge it before recharging. It can be recharged at any time. However, since the maximum number of charge cycle is approximately 300 times (buttery life), you are recommended to only charge the battery pack after having discharged it completely to pro long battery life.

It takes approximately 80 minutes to bring a fully discharged battery pack to a charge state of approximately 90% (adequate charge for use). It takes approximately 2 more hours to charge it fully (based on Canon´s testing standard). Charging it within a temperature range of 5 to 40º C (41 to 104º F) is recommended.

Charging times will vary according to the surrounding humidity and battery pack charge state.

You can also charge the battery pack using the separately sold Battery Charger CG-570* or CB-5L.

* The Compact Power Adapter CA-560 (included with the camera) or the separately sold Compact Power Adapter CA-570 is required. (The Compact Power Adapter CA-570 cannot be used to power the camera from a household power source)

Battery Pack BP-512 (optional) can also be used in this camera.

Battery Pack Handling Precautions

•Keep the battery pack and camera terminals () clean at all times. Dirty terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and camera. Polish the terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using the battery pack.

•Do not cover the compact power adapter with anything, such as a tablecloth, cushion or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly lead to fire.

•Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack BP-511 or Battery Pack BP-512 with the supplied equipment. It could damage the camera.
