Quick Start Basics

Other Charging Precautions

• Use the special charger (BC-90L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-90).

Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger
can result in unexpected accident.

• A battery that is still warm due to 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 charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or
radio.

• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

1.

Open the battery cover.

Slide the battery cover slider towards OPEN
and then open it as indicated by the arrows in
the illustration.

2.

Load the battery.

With the EXILIM logo on the
battery facing downwards (in
the direction of the lens), hold
the stopper next to the battery
in the direction indicated by
the arrow as you slide the
battery into the camera. Press
the battery in until the stopper
secures it in place.

3.

Close the battery cover.

Close the battery cover and then shift the slider
towards LOCK.

• For information about how to replace the

battery, see page 159.
