Charging the Battery by Itself

You can remove the battery from the camera and charge it.

3 Place the battery in the battery charging stand so that the PENTAX name is visible.

The BATTERY charging indicator on the stand lights red while the battery is being charged and goes out when charging is completed.

4 Remove the battery from the battery charging stand when charging is completed.

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 to 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 D-BC8.
