Notes on the battery pack

Charging the battery pack
Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the product for the first time.
The charged battery pack will discharge little by little even if you do not use it. Charge the battery pack
each time before you use the product so that you do not miss any opportunities to shoot images.
You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. You can use a partially
charged battery pack.
If the Charge lamp flashes and charging is canceled halfway, remove the battery pack once then
reinsert it.
We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 °C and 30 °C (50
°F and 86 °F). The battery pack may not be effectively charged in temperatures outside this range.
When you connect this product and a laptop computer that is not connected to a power source, the
laptop's battery charge may decrease. Do not charge this product using the laptop computer for too
long.
Do not turn on/restart a computer, wake a computer from sleep mode, or turn off a computer while
this product is connected to the computer via USB cable. Doing so may cause a malfunction of this

We do not guarantee charging if you are using a self-built or modified computer.
Charging time (Full charge)
The charging time is approximately 230 minutes using the AC adaptor (supplied). The above charging
time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a temperature of 25°C (77°F). Charging may
take longer depending on conditions of use and circumstances.
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
