Camera maintenance
• 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 red status lamp turns off.
• If the status lamp blinks in red, 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 charge 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.
