About the internal backup battery

i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about 2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the camera settings for about 7 days.

When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack

i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the camera settings are correct.

Recharging when connected to the USB terminal (page 6 in the Xacti Software CD INSTRUCTION MANUAL)

i The battery can be recharged while the camera is connected to a computer.

i Note, however, that the time it takes to recharge will differ depending on the camera’s operating condition.

i Connect the dedicated USB interface cable to the USB connector on your computer. Do not connect it to the USB connector on the monitor or the keyboard, or to the USB hub.

i If the camera is not going to be used for an extended period of time, please disconnect the dedicated USB interface cable from the camera.
