Recharging the built-in battery

The camera’s internal battery saves the date and time.

When LOW INTERNAL BATTERY (indicating that the internal battery has no remaining charge) is displayed even when the date and time are set, it means that the charge of the internal battery is depleted. Do the following to recharge it.

Reset the date and time when fully recharged.

1 Connect the AC adaptor. (Page 24)

Leave the POWER/Mode selector switch at OFF.

2 Leave the camera like this for about 4 hours.

The internal battery charges during this time.
