Shooting Images - Sony α SLT-A58 Instruction Manual

The power turns off suddenly.
• If you do not operate the camera for a certain period of time, the camera
reverts to power-saving mode. To cancel power saving, operate the camera,
such as pressing the shutter button halfway down (page 164).
The CHARGE lamp flashes when charging the battery pack.
• Only an NP-FM500H battery pack can be used. Make sure that the battery
is NP-FM500H.
• If you charge a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the
CHARGE lamp may flash.
• The CHARGE lamp flashes in 2 ways, quickly (at about 0.15-second
intervals) or slowly (at about 1.5-second intervals).
If it is flashing quickly, remove the battery pack and reattach the same
battery pack securely. If the CHARGE lamp flashes quickly again, it
suggests that there is something wrong with the battery pack.
Slow flashing indicates that charging is suspended because the ambient
temperature is outside the suitable range for charging the battery pack.
Charging will resume and the CHARGE lamp will be lit when the ambient
temperature returns to within the suitable temperature.
Charge the battery pack under suitable temperatures between 10°C and
30°C (50°F and 86°F).
