Cautions about using the battery

Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage.

Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and may cause a fire or electric shock.

Notes about charging the battery

If the status lamp is off, make sure that the battery is inserted correctly.

If the camera is on while charging, the battery may not fully charge. Turn off the camera before charging the battery.

Do not use your camera when you are charging the battery. This may cause a fire or electric shock.

Do not pull the power supply cable to disconnect the plug from the power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.

Let the battery charge for at least 10 minutes before turning on the camera.

If you connect the camera to an external power source when the battery is depleted, using high energy-consuming functions will cause the camera to turn off. To use the camera normally, recharge the battery.

If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully charged, the status lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.

Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge the battery until the red status lamp turns off.

If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove the battery and insert it again.

If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or the temperature is too high, the status lamp may blink in red. Charging will start when the battery cools down.

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.
