Electrical power system

The camera's electrical power system consists of the following parts:
a removable battery
■
a power supply
■
an internal battery charger
■
a stand-alone, external battery charger
■
The camera may powered either by using the battery, or by using the power
supply. When using the power supply, the battery will – if it's inserted in the battery
compartment – automatically be charged. You can still use the camera during
charging.
NOTE: Please note the following:
The camera is shipped with charged batteries. To increase the battery life, the battery should be
■
fully discharged and charged a couple of times. You can do this by using the camera until the
battery is fully depleted.
The same power supply can be used for both the internal battery charger and the external battery
■
charger.
The operation time of the camera when run on a battery is substantially shorter in low temperatures.
■
The removable battery gives an operation time of approx. 1.5–2 hours. When
Battery low is displayed on the screen it is time to charge the battery.
