IMPORTANT!

•A battery that has not been used for a long time, or ambient temperature extremes can cause charging to take longer than normal. If charging takes longer than about five hours, a timer will terminate it automatically, even if the battery is not fully charged. This is indicated by the back lamp flashing red. If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging may be terminated automatically and the back lamp may start flashing red after only about 60 minutes. In either case, disconnect the USB cable from the camera and then reconnect it to resume charging.

•Pressing [p] (Power) while the USB-AC adaptor is connected to the camera will turn on the camera with power being supplied by the battery. Because of this, charging will stop.

•The USB-AC adaptor will become warm during charging. This is normal and does not indicate malfunction.

•The shape of the power plug depends on each country or geographic area.
