Preparation
∫Charging
•The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely.
The charging time may vary depending on how the battery has been used. The charging
time for the battery in hot/cold environments or a battery that has not been used for long
time may be longer than normal.
Note
•After charging is completed, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical
outlet.
•The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The c amera also
becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
•The battery will become discharged if left for a long period of time after being charged.
•The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not
recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the batt ery is fully
charged. (The battery has characteristics that will reduce its operating duration and cause the
battery to swell up.)
•When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging
the battery, the life of the battery may ha ve expired. Buy a new battery.
•Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the
resulting heat generated.
