The charge lamp on the camera flashes when charging the battery pack.
•You can use an NP-FW50 battery pack only. Make sure that the batte ry is NP-FW50.
•If you char ge a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the charge lamp on the camera may
flash.
•The charge lamp flashes in two ways, fast (about 0.3-second intervals) or slow (about 1.3-second
intervals). If the charge lamp is flashing fast, remove the battery pack and reattach the same battery
pack securely, or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable. If the charge lamp flashe s fast again, it
suggests that there is something wrong with the battery pack, AC Adaptor (supplie d), or USB cable.
Slow flashing indicates that charging is suspended because the ambient temper ature is outside the
suitable range for charging the battery pack. Charging will resume and the cha rge lamp will be lit
when the ambient temperature returns to within the suitable temperature. The opt imal temperature for
charging the battery pack is between 10°C and 30°C (50°F and 86 °F).
The battery has not been charged even if the charge lamp on the camera has
turned off.
•This phen omenon occurs when you use the camera in an extremel y hot or cold location. The optimal
temperature for charging the battery pack is between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F).
The battery pack is not charged.
•When the batt ery pack is not charged (the charge lamp does not ligh t) even if you follow the proper
charging procedure, remove the battery pack and re-insert the same batte ry pack securely, or
disconnect and reconnect the USB cable.
Nothing is displayed on the LCD screen when the power is turned on.
