NP-F330 (supplied)/F550 (optional) battery pack
When you record images in an extremely cold location or using the LCD screen, the
operating time becomes short. When using the camera in an extremely cold location,
place the battery pack in your pocket or other place to keep it warm, then insert the
battery pack into the camera just before recording. When using a pocket heater, take
care not to let the heater directly contact the battery.
Auto power-off function
If you do not operate the camera for about three minutes during recording, the camera
turns off automatically to prevent wearing down the battery pack. To use the camera
again, slide the POWER switch down to turn on the camera again.
Note on the POWER ON/OFF (CHG) lamp during charging
The POWER ON/OFF (CHG) lamp may flash:
• When a malfunction occurs in the battery pack.
The POWER ON/OFF (CHG) lamp does not light up:
• When the battery pack is not installed properly.

Notes
• The battery life and number of images will be decreased when using at low temperature, using
the flash, turning the power on/off frequently, or using the zoom.
• The capacity of the floppy disk or the "Memory Stick" is limited. The above figures are as a
guide when you continuously record/play back by replacing the floppy disk or the "Memory
Stick."
• If sufficient battery remaining time is indicated but the power runs out soon, fully charge the
battery so that the correct battery remaining time appears.
• Do not short the DC plug of the AC power adaptor with a metallic object, as this may cause a
malfunction.
• Do not use the DC plug of the AC power adapter in a dirty state. Wipe off any dirt with a dry
cotton wool bud. Using the DC plug in a dirty state may prevent correct charging.
