• If low supply capacity exists due to your computer model or connection conditions,
charging will start without the camera turning on. Turning on the camera in this
case will cause charging to stop and enter USB data communication between the
camera and the computer. The camera's back lamp will be lit green at this time.

• Charging continues while a camera is connected to a computer's USB port, even if
the camera is turned off. Under this condition, the back lamp operates as described
under "Back Lamp Operation" (page 17).
Other Charging Precautions
• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera's
battery (NP-130A or NP-130) without removing it from the camera. You also can
charge the battery using an optionally available charger unit (BC-130L). Never use
any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in
unexpected accident.
• This model can be charged only via from USB 2.0 specification USB port only.
• USB charging devices and power supply devices are subject to fixed standards.
Use of an inferior device or a device that is not up to standard can cause
malfunction and/or failure of your camera.
• Operation is not guaranteed in the case of a computer built or modified by you.
Even in the case of a commercially available computer, certain USB port
specifications may make it impossible to charge via the USB cable.
• A battery that is still warm immediately after normal use may not charge fully. Give
the battery time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to
use it.
• Charging the camera's battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception.
If this happens, plug the USB-AC adaptor into an outlet that is further away from
the TV or radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.
• Never use the power cord with another device.
• Use only the USB-AC adaptor and USB cable specified in this manual for charging.
Use of any other type of devices may result in improper charging.
