Other Charging Precautions

•Use the special charger (BC-31L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-40). 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.
