Charging begins.
The power lamp slowly blinks during charging. The lamp goes off when charging is
complete.
Notes
• You can also charge the battery using the separately sold battery charger (LI-10C). Use only the specified
charger.
• The power lamp blinks rapidly if an error occurs during charging. If this happens, remove the battery from
the camera and insert it again, or disconnect the AC adapter from the cradle and connect it again.
• If you hold the cradle upside down with the camera set, the camera may fall out of the cradle.
• Do not pick up by the camera only when it is set on the cradle.
Tips
• We recommend using an AC adapter for time-consuming tasks such as image downloads to a computer,
printing, or slide shows. For information on the supplied AC adapter, be sure to read "About the AC
adapter" (g page 17).
• When using the AC adapter (100–240V) abroad, you may need a plug adapter to convert the plug to the
shape of the electrical outlet. For suitable plug adapters, ask at your local electrical shop or travel agent.
• Charging a lithium ion battery before it is fully discharged does not shorten its life.
