Charging the lithium-ion battery

Before the camera can be used, the lithium-ion battery must be charged. Before charging the battery,
read the safety warnings on pages 3 and 4 of this manual. Only recharge the battery with the sup-
plied battery charger. The battery should be recharged before each shooting session. See page 91
for battery care and storage.

With the battery terminals toward the front and the label
face up, slide the battery into the charger (2).
Plug the charger into a live household outlet.
• After a few seconds, the indicator lamp (3) will glow to
show the battery is charging. The lamp will go out
when the battery has been charged. Charging time is
approximately eighty minutes.
Unplug the power cord from the outlet.
Remove the battery from the charger (4).
• To use the charger when traveling abroad, the power
cord must meet the requirements of the country of the
destination. AC cords for other regions are available
separately, see page 89.
