If the battery power runs out while the camera is connected to a PC, image
data may be corrupted. It is recommended that you use the optional AC
adapter when transferring images to a PC. Do not disconnect or connect the
AC adapter while the camera is communicating with the PC.

charge batteries that may be in the camera; it only provides power to the
camera.

Do not remove or load batteries and/or do not disconnect or connect the AC
adapter while the camera is turned on. Doing so could damage the
camera’s settings or functions.

Carefully read the “Safety Precautions” included in the package and the AC
adapter’s instructions before use.
