GETTING UP AND RUNNING

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Before the camera can be used, the lithium-ion battery must be charged. Before charging the bat- tery, read the safety warnings on pages 3 and 4 of this manual. Only recharge the battery with the supplied battery charger. The battery should be recharged before each shooting session. See page 103 for battery care and storage.

Plug the power cord into the back of the charger unit (1). Plug the

1other 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 101.

With the battery terminals forward lower the battery into the charger so the guides in the charger bed enter the channels on the bat- tery. Slide the battery forward into the charger.

The indicator lamp (2) glows to show the battery is charging. The lamp

 

goes out when the battery has been charged. Charging time is approxi-

2

mately 90 minutes. Remove the battery from the charger. Unplug the

power cord from the outlet.
