(+70°F to +77°F)
NP-40: approx. 2 hours
●
!
Charging times increase at low temperatures.
●
!
If the viewfinder lamp blinks during charging, a charging error
has occurred and the battery cannot be charged. If this
occurs, see P.91.
●
!
Turning the camera on during charging interrupts the
charging.

1Plug the AC power adapter connector into the
“DC IN 5V” socket.
2Plug the AC power adapter into a power outlet.
hCompatible AC power adapters
AC-5VW (included)
AC-5VH (sold separately)
AC-5VHS (sold separately)
Check that the camera is turned off. Set the
camera in the cradle.
●
!
Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when the
camera is off.
Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while the
camera is on temporarily interrupts the power supply to the
camera, so that images or movies being shot are not
recorded. Failing to turn the camera off first can also result in
damage to the xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC
connection.
●
!
Plug the camera securely into the Cradle connection socket.

Turn the camera on and check whether the battery level warning (X, Cor V) appears on the
LCD monitor.
●
!
Battery with no remaining charge (Vblinking red) may
cause camera faults such as the camera turning itself off
without retracting the lens. Always load a new or fully
charged battery.
“Z”, “X” or “C” appears as a small icon on
the right-hand side of the LCD monitor.
●
!
Depending on the camera mode used, the transition from
“X” to “V” may occur more quickly.
●
!
Due to the nature of the battery, the battery level warning
may appear early when the camera is used in cold locations.
This is normal. Try warming the battery in your pocket or a
similar location before use.
“V” appears as a large icon on the LCD monitor.
◆Power save function ◆
When this function is active, it also turns off the LCD monitor (sleep mode) to reduce power
consumption if the camera is not used for 60 seconds (➡P.61). If the camera is then left unused for 2 or
5 minutes, the Power save function turns the camera off. To turn camera back on, slide the Power
switch to turn the camera off briefly and then turn it back on.
◆Charging the battery ◆
When you try to charge the battery immediately after the camera has been used continuously for a long
period (e.g. shooting a movie or connected to a PC), charging may not begin soon (the viewfinder lamp
does not turn red).
This is not a fault, but is for protecting the battery from being charged while it is warm. Batteries may
degrade when charged at high temperatures.
Leave the camera connected to the cradle, and charging will automatically begin within 20 minutes.
