◆
Charging the battery
◆
When you try to charge the battery immediately after the camera has been used continuously for a long
period (e.g. shooting a movie or connected to a PC), charging may not begin soon (the self-timer lamp
does not light).
This is not a camera fault, but is for protecting the battery from being charged while it is warm. Battery
may degrade when charged at high temperatures.
Leave the camera connected to the AC power adapter, and charging will automatically begin within 30
minutes.
