Chal!ling the battery pack
Notes
• If the charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is connected to the
wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is temporarily stopped because
the temperature is outside the recommended range. When the temperature gets back
within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend charging the
battery pack in an ambient temperature of between I 0
°
C to 30
°
C (S0
°
F to 86
°
F).
• Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) or the battery charger (supplied) to the nearest
wall outlet (wall socket). If malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor or the
battery charger, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet (wall socket) immediately
to disconnect from the power source.
• When the camera is being used for the first time or when you use a battery pack that
has not been used for a long time, the charge lamp/CHARGE lamp may flash
quickly when the battery is charged for the first time. If that happens, remove the
battery pack from the camera and then re-insert
it
to recharge.
• Do not continuously or repeatedly charge the battery without using it if it is already
fully
charged or close to
fully
charged. Doing so may cause a deterioration in battery
performance.
• When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall
socket).
• Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, micro USB cable (supplied)
and AC Adaptor (supplied).
Charging time (Full charge)
The charging time is approximately 150 min. using the AC Adaptor
(supplied), and approximately 250 min. using the battery charger
(supplied).
Notes
• The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a
temperature of 25
°
C (77
°
F). Charging may take longer depending on conditions of
use and circumstances.

time.
