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.
∫ Battery indication
The battery indication is displayed on the screen
¢ "Screen" refers to both the LCD monitor and the Electronic Viewfinder EVF1 (available as
accessory, see P7), whichever is selected.
•
The indication turns red and flashes if the remaining battery power is exhausted. (The status
indicator flashes when the LCD monitor turns off.) Recharge the battery or replace it with a fully
charged battery.
Note
•
The battery becomes warm after using it 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 charge 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.)
•
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the power plug terminals. Otherwise, a
fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting heat
generated.
