Charging the Battery by Itself
• The time required for full charge is about 100 minutes.
The appropriate ambient temperature range for charging the
battery is 0°C – 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The charging time may vary depending on the ambient
temperature and charging conditions.
• When the battery reaches the end of its service life, the time that
the camera can be operated becomes shorter even when the
battery is fully charged. In this event, replace the battery.
• When charging the battery in the camera, another battery can be placed in
the charger at the same time. This is useful when you have spare battery.
When the camera and battery is placed in the charger, the charging
indicator (CAMERA) and charging indicator (BATTERY) light red. When
the battery inserted in the camera is fully charged, the charging of the
spare battery starts automatically. When the charging of the spare battery
starts, the charging indicator (CAMERA) turns off and the charging
indicator (BATTERY) lights red.
• You can also remove the battery from the camera and charge it
using the optional D-BC8 battery charger.
