∫ Charging time

When using the AC adaptor (supplied)
Charging time
•
The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely.
The charging time may vary depending on how the battery has been used. The charging
time for the battery in hot/cold environments or a battery that has not been used for a
long time may be longer than normal.
•
The charging time when connected to the computer depends on the computer's
performance.
∫ Battery indication
The battery indication is displayed on the LCD monitor.
•
The indication turns red and blinks if the remaining battery power is low. Recharge the battery
or replace it with a fully charged battery.
Note
•
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the
resulting heat generated.
•
Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one.
Use of cables other than the supplied USB connection cable may cause malfunction.
•
Do not use a USB extension cable.
•
The AC adaptor (supplied) and USB connection cable (supplied) are for this camera only. Do
not use them with other devices.
•
Remove the battery after use. (The battery will be exhausted if left for a long period of time after
being charged.)
•
The battery becomes warm after using and during and after charging. The camera also
becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
•
The battery can be recharged even when it still has some power left, but it is not recommended
that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged. (Since
characteristic swelling may occur.)
•
If a problem occurs in the power outlet, such as a power outage, charging may not be
completed normally. If this happens, disconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and
connect it again.
•
If the charging lamp does not turn on or blinks when you connect the AC adaptor (supplied) or
PC, this indicates that the charging has been stopped because the unit is not in a temperature
range suitable for charging, and does not indicate a fault.
Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) in a location where the ambient temperature
(and the temperature of battery) is in a 10 oC to 30 oC (50 oF to 86 oF) range, and try charging
again.
