Camera maintenance

•Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge the battery until the red indicator light turns off.

•If the indicator light does not illuminate, reconnect the cable, or remove the battery and insert it again.

•Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is finished, disconnect the cable from your camera.

•Do not bend or place heavy objects on the AC cable. Doing so may damage the cable.

 Notes about charging with a computer connected 

• Use only the provided USB cable.

• The battery may not charge when:

-- you use a USB hub

-- other USB devices are connected to your computer

-- you connect the cable to the port on the front side of your computer

-- the USB port of your computer does not support the power output standard (5 V, 500 mA)

 Handling and disposing of batteries and chargers with care 

•Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations when you dispose of used batteries.

•Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when they are overheated.
