Shooting Images - Sony NEX-5N Instruction Manual

• If you do not operate the camera for given period of time, the camera turns to
power saving mode. To cancel the power save, operate the camera, such as
pressing the shutter button halfway down.
The CHARGE lamp flashes when charging the battery pack.
• You can use an NP-FW50 battery pack only. Make sure that the battery is
NP-FW50.
• If you charge a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the
CHARGE lamp may flash.
• The CHARGE lamp flashes in two ways, fast (about 0.15-second intervals)
and slow (about 1.5-second intervals). If it is flashing fast, remove the battery
pack and reattach the same battery pack securely. If the CHARGE lamp
flashes fast again, it suggests that there is something wrong with the battery
pack. Slow flashing indicates that charging is suspended because the ambient
temperature is outside the suitable range for charging the battery pack.
Charging will resume and the CHARGE lamp will be lit when the ambient
temperature returns to within the suitable temperature. Charge the battery
pack under the suitable temperatures between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and
86 °F).
