•
If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully charged, the status
lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.
•
Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge the
battery until the red status lamp turns off.
•
If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove the battery and
insert it again.
•
If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or the temperature is too
high, the status lamp may blink in red. Charging will start when the battery cools
down.
•
Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is finished,
disconnect the cable from your camera.
•
Do not bend or place heavy objects on the AC cable. Doing so may damage the
cable.
