Charging the battery pack

Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the product for the first time.

The charged battery pack will discharge little by little even if you do not use it.

Charge the battery pack each time before you use the product so that you do

not miss any opportunities to shoot images.

You can charge the battery pack even if it is not completely discharged. You

can use a partially charged battery pack.

If the charge lamp flashes when the battery pack is not fully charged, remove

the battery pack or disconnect the USB cable from the camera and then

reinsert it to recharge.

We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of

between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). The battery pack may not be

effectively charged in temperatures outside this range.

When you connect this product and a laptop computer that is not connected to

a power source, the laptop’s battery charge may decrease. Do not charge this

product using the laptop computer for too long.

Do not turn on/restart a computer, wake a computer from sleep mode, or turn

off a computer while this product is connected to the computer via USB cable.

Doing so may cause a malfunction of this product. Disconnect the product and

the computer before performing the above operations.

We do not guarantee charging if you are using a self-built or modified computer.

Charging time (Full charge)

The charging time is approximately 150 minutes using the AC adaptor (supplied).

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.

Effective use of the battery pack

Battery performance decreases in low temperature environments. So in cold

places, the operational time of the battery pack is shorter. To ensure longer

battery pack use, we recommend putting the battery pack in your pocket close

to your body to warm it up, and insert it in the product immediately before you

start shooting. If there are any metal objects such as keys in your pocket, be

careful of causing a short-circuit.

The battery pack will run down quickly if you use the flash or continuous

shooting function frequently, turn the power on/off frequently, or set the monitor
