ªCharging environment and charging error

Charge the battery in a place with a temperature of 50 - 95 F (10 - 35 °C). (The battery should also be the same temperature)

When charging starts, the status indicator blinks at about 2 second cycles. If, after charging starts, the status indicator blinks quicker, this indicates a charging error.

In this case, remove the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet, remove the battery and check if both room and battery temperature is too low or high and then charge it again. (It is not possible to cancel the error by only turning the power off/on.) If the problem persists, consult the dealer or your nearest servicentre.

Connecting to an Electrical Outlet

If you use an AC adaptor and connect it to an electrical outlet, you can use the camera without worrying about battery discharge. The connection method is the same as explained in “Charging the Battery”. (P14)

During use, the camera becomes warm; this is not a malfunction.
