Camera maintenance
Cautions about using the battery
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from
damage
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this
can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your
battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and
may cause a fire or electric shock.
Notes about charging the battery
• If the indicator light is off, make sure that the battery is inserted
correctly.
• If the camera is on while charging, the battery may not fully
charge. Turn off the camera before charging the battery.
• Do not use your camera when you charge the battery. This may
cause a fire or electric shock.
• Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from
the power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Wait to turn on the camera until after the battery has charged for
at least 10 minutes.
• If you connect the camera to an external power source while
the battery is depleted, using some high energy-consuming
functions will cause the camera to turn off. To use the camera
normally, recharge the battery.
• If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully
charged, the status lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.
• Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly.
Charge the battery until the status lamp turns off.
• If the status lamp blinks in red 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 status lamp may blink in red.
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.
Notes about charging with a computer connected
• Use only the provided USB cable.
• The battery may not be charged 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
computer
- the USB port of your computer does not support the power output
standard (5 V, 500 mA)
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.
