CHARGING THE BATTERY

Before the camera can be used, the lithium-ion battery must be charged. Before charging the battery, read the safety warnings on page 4 of this manual. Only recharge the battery with the supplied battery charger. The battery should be recharged before each shooting session. See page 166 for battery care and storage.

Plug the power cord into the side of the charger unit (1). Plug the other end of the cord into a live household outlet. The included AC cord is designed for the current of the sales region. Only use the cord in the region it was purchased. For more on the AC cable, see page 163.

With the battery contacts down and toward the charger, slide the battery into the unit. If the battery does not slide all the way into the charger, check its orientation.

The indicator lamp (2) glows to show the battery is charging. The lamp goes out when the battery is charged. Charging time is approximately 90 minutes.
