Electrical power system
The camera’s electrical power system consists of the following parts:
■
a removable battery
■
a power supply
■
an internal battery charger
■
a stand-alone, external 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.
■
The operation time of the camera when run on a battery is substantially shorter in
low temperatures.
The removable battery gives an operation time of approx. 1.5–2 hours. When
Battery
low
is displayed on the screen it is time to charge the battery.
