Electrical power system
The camera's electrical power system consists of the following parts:
a removable battery
■
a power supply
■
an internal battery charger
■
The camera may powered either by using the battery, or by using the power supply.
When using the power supply, the battery will – if it's inserted in the battery compart-
ment – automatically be charged. You can still use the camera during charging.
➲ Please note the following:
The camera is shipped with charged batteries. To increase the battery life, the
■
battery should be fully discharged and charged a couple of times by using the
camera or leaving the camera on, until the camera says Battery low.
The same power supply can be used for both the internal battery charger and the
■
external battery charger.
