Battery charging

• Only NP-FW50 battery packs (and no others) can be charged. Batteries other than the
specified kind may leak, overheat, or explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a
risk of injury from electrocution and/or burn.
• Remove the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket) or disconnect the USB
cable from the camera. If you leave the charged battery pack in the camera, battery life
may be shortened.
• The charge lamp located on the side of the camera flashes in either way:
Fast flashing: Turns the light on and off repeatedly at the interval of about 0.3 second.
Slow flashing: Turns the light on and off repeatedly at the interval of about 1.3
seconds.
• When the charge lamp flashes fast, remove the battery pack being charged, and then
insert the same battery pack into the camera securely again, or disconnect and
reconnect the USB cable. When the charge lamp flashes fast again, this may indicate a
battery error or that a battery pack other than the specified type has been inserted or
that there is something wrong with the AC Adaptor or USB cable. Check that the
battery pack is the specified type, or the AC Adaptor or USB cable is damaged or not.
If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, replace it with a new
one or another one and check if the battery pack is charged properly. If the battery
pack is charged properly, a battery error may have occurred. If another battery pack
cannot be charged properly, the AC Adaptor or USB cable may be damaged. Replace
the AC Adaptor or the USB cable to another one and check that the battery pack is
charged properly or not.
• When the charge lamp flashes slowly, it indicates that the camera stops charging
temporarily on standby. The camera stops charging and enters the standby status
automatically when the temperature is outside of the recommended operating
temperature. When the temperature gets back within the appropriate range, the camera
resumes charging and the charge lamp lights up again. We recommend charging the
battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F).
