Charging time
• The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely. The
charging time may vary depending on how the battery has been used. The charging time for
the battery in hot/cold environments or a battery that has not been used for a long time may
be longer than normal.

Battery indication
The battery indication is displayed on the LCD monitor.
• The indication turns red and blinks if the remaining battery power is low. Recharge the battery or
replace it with a fully charged battery.
• Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug.
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting
heat generated.
• The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also becomes
warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
• The battery can be recharged even when it still has some power left, but it is not recommended that
the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully charged. (Since characteristic
swelling may occur.)
