•The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use.
•Charge the battery with the charger indoors.
•Charge the battery in a temperature between 10oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF). (The battery
temperature should also be the same.)

•The battery temperature is excessively high or low. The charging time will be longer than
normal. Also, charging may not be completed.
•The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth.
Note
•After charging is comple ted, be sure to disconnect the power supply device from the electrical
outlet.

•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 battery is fully
charged. (The battery has characteristics that will reduce its operating duration and cause the
battery to swell up.)

electrical outlet.

•Charging starts when the [CHARGE]
indicator A lights green.
