Battery charging
• Only NP-FW50 battery packs (and no others) can be charged. Batteries other than the
specified kind may leak, overheat, or explode if you attempt to charge them, posing a
risk of injury from electrocution and/or burn.
• Remove the USB cable from the camera. If you leave the charged battery pack in the
camera, battery life may be shortened.
• The charge lamp located on the side of the camera flashes in either way:
Fast flashing: Turns the light on and off repeatedly at the interval of about 0.3 second.
Slow flashing: Turns the light on and off repeatedly at the interval of about
1.3 seconds.
• If the charge lamp flashes fast, remove the battery pack being charged, and then insert
the same battery pack into the camera securely again, or disconnect and reconnect the
USB cable. If the charge lamp flashes fast again, this may indicate a battery error or
that a battery pack other than the specified type has been inserted or that there is
something wrong with the AC Adaptor or USB cable. Check that the battery pack is of
the specified type, and that the AC Adaptor or USB cable is not damaged. If the
battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, replace it with a new one or
another one and check if the battery pack is charged properly. If the battery pack is
charged properly, a battery error may have occurred. If another battery pack cannot be
charged properly, the AC Adaptor or USB cable may be damaged. Replace the AC
Adaptor or the USB cable with another one and check whether the battery pack is
properly charged.
• If the charge lamp flashes slowly, it indicates that the camera stops charging
temporarily on standby. The camera stops charging and enters the standby status
automatically when the temperature is outside of the recommended operating
temperature. When the temperature gets back within the appropriate range, the camera
resumes charging and the charge lamp lights up again. We recommend charging the
battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F).
