Handle and dispose 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.
• Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly.
Charge the battery until the indicator light turns green.
• If the indicator light blinks in orange or does not illuminate,
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 indicator light may turn orange.
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.

• 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
