Preparing Your Camera for Use
5
2.2
Charging the Battery
The battery charge status affects the performance of the camera. To maximize the
performance and life of the battery, it is recommended that you fully charge the battery using
the specified charger set (charger and AC power adapter), and then fully discharge it through
the normal use at least one time. Make sure that the power of the camera is off before
inserting the battery.
1. Insert the battery into the charger as shown
in the illustration.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter
to the charger.
3. Connect the other end of the AC power
adapter to a wall outlet.
4. When the battery is being charged, the
charger LED indicator lights up in red.
When the battery is fully charged, it turns
into green.
The length of the charging time depends on the ambient temperature and the status of
the battery.
•
The camera must be used with the specified charger set. Damage caused by the use of an
incorrect charger set is not covered under the warranty. Always make sure that the
camera is off before removing the battery.
•
The battery may be warm after being charged or used. This is normal and not a
malfunction.
•
When using the camera in cold environments, keep the camera and its battery warm by
holding it inside your jacket or other warm protective environment.
2.3
Inserting and removing an SD memory card
The camera is equipped with internal memory, allowing
you to record video clips and capture images. You can also
expand the memory capacity by using an optional SD
(Secure Digital) memory card to store more files.
1. Always make sure the camera is turned off before
inserting or removing a memory card.
2. Insert an SD memory card in the correct orientation as
shown in the illustration.
3. Close the battery / SD memory card cover.
To remove the SD memory card, make sure the camera is turned off. Press lightly on the
edge of the memory card and it will eject.
