Electrical power system
The camera’s electrical power system consists of the following parts:
■
a removable battery
■
a power supply
■
an internal battery charger
The camera may powered either by using the battery, or by using the power supply.
When using the power supply, the battery will – if it’s inserted in the battery compart-
ment – automatically be charged. You can still use the camera during charging.
➲
Please note the following:
■
The camera is shipped with charged batteries. To increase the battery life, the
battery should be fully discharged and charged a couple of times by using the
camera or leaving the camera on, until the camera says
Battery low
.
■
The same power supply can be used for both the internal battery charger and the
external battery charger.
