The power turns off suddenly.

• When the camera or battery pack is too hot, the camera displays a warning 

message and turns off automatically to protect the camera.

• If you do not operate the camera for given period of time, the camera turns to 

power saving mode. To cancel the power save, operate the camera by means 
such as pressing the shutter button halfway down.

The charge lamp on the camera flashes when charging the battery 
pack.

• You can only use an NP-FW50 battery pack. Make sure that the battery is 

NP-FW50.

• If you charge a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the charge 

lamp may flash.

• The charge lamp flashes in two ways, fast (about 0.3-second intervals) or 

slow (about 1.3-second intervals). If the charge lamp is flashing fast, remove 
the battery pack and reattach the same battery pack securely, or disconnect 
and reconnect the USB cable. If the charge lamp flashes fast again, it 
suggests that there is something wrong with the battery pack or USB cable. 
Slow flashing indicates that charging is suspended because the ambient 
temperature is outside the suitable range for charging the battery pack. 
Charging will resume and the charge lamp will be lit when the ambient 
temperature returns to within the suitable temperature. The optimal 
temperature for charging the battery pack is between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F 
and 86 °F).

The battery has not been charged even if the charge lamp has 
turned off.

• This phenomenon occurs when you use the camera in an extremely hot or 

cold location. The optimal temperature for charging the battery pack is 
between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F).

The battery pack is not charged.

• When the battery pack is not charged (the charge lamp does not light) even if 

you follow the proper charging procedure, remove the battery pack and re-
insert the same battery pack securely, or disconnect and reconnect the USB 
cable.
