•You can put the camera and the battery together on the battery charging stand to charge the battery inside the camera and a spare battery.

•The time required for full charge is about 100 minutes.

The appropriate ambient temperature range for charging the battery is 0°C – 40°C (32°F – 104°F).

•The charging time may vary depending on the ambient temperature and charging conditions.

•When the battery reaches the end of its service life, the time that the camera can be operated becomes shorter even when the battery is fully charged. In this event, replace the battery.

•You can also remove the battery from the camera and charge it using the optional battery charger K-BC8.

•Always charge the battery before using the camera for the first time or when the battery has not been used for a long time.

•Do not use the battery charging stand D-BC42 to charge batteries other than D-LI8 rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, as the charging stand may overheat or be damaged as a result.

•If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails to light red, the battery may be faulty. Replace with a new battery.
