Battery precautions
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from damage.
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this can
create a connection between the + and – terminals of your battery and
lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and may cause a fire or
electric shock.
Notes about charging the battery
If the status lamp is off, ensure that the battery is inserted correctly.
If the camera is on while the battery is charging, the battery may not
fully charge. Turn off the camera before charging the battery.
Do not use your camera when you are charging the battery. This may
cause a fire or electric shock.
Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the
power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
Let the battery charge for at least 10 minutes before turning on the
camera.
If you connect the camera to an external power source when the battery
is depleted, using high energy-consuming functions will cause the
camera to turn off. To use the camera normally, recharge the battery.
If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully charged, the
status lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.
Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge
the battery fully before using the camera.
If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove the
battery and insert it again.
If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or the
temperature is too high, the status lamp may blink in red. Charging will
start when the battery cools down.
Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is
finished, disconnect the cable from your camera.
Do not bend or place heavy objects on the AC cable. Doing so may
damage the cable.
If you use the camera for an extended period while connected to an
external power cable, the status lamp may blink red and green. The
camera may also stop charging to protect the battery from being
overcharged. Reconnect the cable and fully charge the battery before
using the camera again.
