Off: Charging has completed. (Disconnect the charger from the electrical socket and
detach the battery after charging is completed.)
• When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes
-The battery temperature is too high or too low. It is recommended to charge the battery again
in an ambient temperature between 10 _C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F).
-The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe off the dirt with a dry
cloth.
• Charging time
Approx. 120 min I
• The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely.
The charging time may vary depending on how the battery has been used. The charging
time for the battery in hot/cold environments or a battery that has not been used for a
long time may be longer than normal.
• Battery indication
The battery indication is displayed on the LCD monitor.
• The indication turns red and blinks if the remaining battery power is low. Recharge the battery
or replace it with a fully charged battery.
• Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the
resulting heat generated.
• The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also
becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
• The battery can be recharged even when it still has some power left, but it is not recommended
that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged. (Since
characteristic swelling may occur.)
