. To charge using a USB connection to a computer
USB connection lets you charge the battery while it is loaded in the camera.
While the camera is turned off, connect in the sequence shown below (
The camera's back lamp will light red. After a short while, the camera will turn on
automatically and the back lamp will light amber to indicate that charging has started.
The back lamp will light green when charging is complete. Note, however, that some
computer models or connection conditions can produce low supply capacity. If low
supply capacity exists, charging will start without the camera turning on. This is
indicated by the back lamp lighting red. The back lamp will go out in this case after
charging is complete.
Making sure that the 6 mark on the camera is aligned with the 4 mark of
the USB cable connector, connect the cable to the camera.
• If the camera is on, press [ON/OFF] (Power) to turn it off before connecting it to
your computer.
IMPORTANT!
• The first time you connect the camera to your computer with the USB cable, an
error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect and then
reconnect the USB cable.
• A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and
connection conditions can cause charging to take more than approximately six
hours, which will trigger a timer that terminates charging automatically, even if the
battery is not fully charged. If this happens, disconnect and then reconnect the
USB cable to restart charging. To complete charging faster, use of the included
USB-AC adaptor is recommended.
• If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging may terminate
automatically and the back lamp may start flashing red or go out after only about
45 minutes. In either case, use of the USB-AC adaptor that comes with the camera
is recommended.
• Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.
• A charging error can occur immediately after charging begins or some time after
charging begins. A charging error is indicated by the back lamp flashing red.
