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.

•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). Charge it within a temperature range of 5 to 40º C (41 to 104º F).

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

•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.

•The battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera even with the power turned off. This shortens the battery life. Remove it from the camera, attach the supplied terminal cover and store it at room temperature (30º C / 86º F or less) in a dry place. Charge it before use.
