charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a temperature of 25°C

Effective use of the battery pack
Battery performance decreases in low temperature environments. So in cold places, the
operational time of the battery pack is shorter. To ensure longer battery pack use, we
recommend putting the battery pack in your pocket close to your body to warm it up, and
insert it in the product immediately before you start shooting. If there are any metal objects
such as keys in your pocket, be careful of causing a short-circuit.
The battery pack will run down quickly if you use the flash or zoom frequently.
We recommend preparing spare battery packs and taking trial shots before taking the actual
shots.
Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant.
Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct
sunlight.
If the battery terminal is dirty, you may not be able to turn on the product or the battery pack
may not be properly charged. In that case, clean the battery by lightly wiping off any dust
using a soft cloth or a cotton swab.
