Using A Computer To Charge The Battery - Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark III Camera User Manual

● For details on charging time and the number of shots and
recording time possible with a fully charged battery pack, see
"Power" ( = 225).
● You can view images even while the battery is charging, by
turning the camera on and entering Playback mode ( = 24).
However, you cannot shoot while the battery is charging.
● Charged battery packs gradually lose their charge, even when
they are not used. Charge the battery pack on (or immediately
before) the day of use.
● The charger can be used in areas with 100 – 240 V AC power
(50/60 Hz). For power outlets in a different format, use a
commercially available adapter for the plug. Never use an
electrical transformer designed for traveling, which may damage
the battery pack.

Using a Computer to Charge the Battery

interface cable into a computer's USB terminal in step 2 of "Charging
via USB" ( = 184). For details about USB connections on the
computer, refer to the computer user manual.
● When charging is finished, the indicator on the back of the camera
blinks green. However, the indicator also blinks green if the computer
enters sleep or other modes and charging is interrupted.
● Charging stops and the indicator goes off if, after you begin
charging, you press the power button to turn the camera off.

port.
