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 cord 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.
