Making sure that the 6 mark on the camera is aligned with the 4 mark of the USB cable connector, connect the cable to the camera.
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.
•Make sure that you insert the cable connector into the [USB/AV] port until you feel it click securely into place. Failure to insert the connector fully can result in poor
communication or malfunction.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as shown in the illustration.
