NOTE

Charging continues while a camera is connected to a computer’s USB port, even if the camera is turned off. Under this condition, the back lamp operates as described under “Back Lamp Operation” (page 16).

IMPORTANT!

Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.

A charging error can occur immediately after charging begins or some time after charging begins. A charging error is indicated by the back lamp flashing red.

If low supply capacity exists due to your computer model or connection conditions, charging will start without the camera turning on. Turning on the camera in this case will cause charging to stop and enter USB data communication between the camera and the computer. The camera’s back lamp will be lit green at this time.
