NP-F330 (supplied)/F550 (not supplied) 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 to the right 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 (page 84).
The POWER ON/OFF (CHG) lamp does not light up:
• When the battery pack is not installed properly.
