2

Preparing the Power Supply

You can power the camera using a battery pack or the DC IN 12V terminal. Even when a battery pack is
attached, if a power source is connected to the DC IN 12V terminal, the camera will not draw power from the
battery pack.

Using a Battery Pack

You can power the camera using the supplied BP-A60 Battery Pack or the optional BP-A30 Battery Pack. Both
battery packs are compatible with Intelligent System so you can check the approximate remaining battery usage
time (in minutes) on the screen. For more accurate readings, when using a battery pack for the first time, charge
it fully and then use the camera until the battery pack is completely depleted.
Charging the Battery Pack
Charge battery packs using the supplied CG-A20 Battery
Charger and CA-CP200 B Compact Power Adapter. Before
charging, remove the terminal cover of the battery pack.
1 Connect the compact power adapter to the battery charger
and plug the power cord into a power outlet.
2 Attach the battery pack to the battery charger.
• Press lightly and slide the battery pack in the direction of the
arrow until it clicks.
• The CHARGE indicator starts flashing and also indicates the
battery pack's approximate charge. The indicator will stay on
when charging has completed.
approx. 0% to 49%: Flashes once every 2 seconds
approx. 50% to 74%: Flashes twice every 2 seconds
approx. 75% to 99%: Flashes 3 times every 2 seconds
3 Disconnect the compact power adapter from the battery charger and unplug the power cord.
4 Remove the battery pack from the battery charger.
IMPORTANT
• Do not connect to the battery charger any product that is not expressly recommended for use with this
camera.
• When using the battery charger or compact power adapter, do not fix it permanently to one place as this may
cause a malfunction.
• To prevent equipment breakdowns and excessive heating, do not connect the supplied battery charger or
compact power adapter to voltage converters for overseas travels or special power sources such as those on
aircraft and ships, DC-AC inverters, etc.
