Charging takes about 160 minutes when the camera is connected to a power
outlet and about 240 minutes when it is connected to a computer (these figures
assume a temperature of 25 °C; charging times may vary with the temperature,
the current charge state, and the operations performed with the camera and/or
computer).
Note the following when using a computer:
• Charging starts automatically if no operations are performed for over 30 s after
the camera is connected.
• The battery will not charge if the computer is off or in sleep (standby) mode.
• If the battery has been left unused in the camera for an extended period before
charging, there may be a delay before USB options are displayed or charging
begins. Use the USB power adapter to charge the battery.
