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. When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket) or disconnect the USB cable from the camera. Not doing so may result in a shorter battery life. Remaining battery indicator The remaining battery indicator appears on the screen. A: Battery level high B: Battery exhausted It takes about one minute for the correct remaining battery indicator to appear. The correct remaining battery indicator may not be displayed under some operating or environmental conditions. If the remaining battery indicator does not appear on the screen, press the DISP (Display Setting) button to display it. 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 very bright. We recommend preparing spare battery packs and taking trial shots before taking the actual shots. If the battery terminal is dirty, you may not be able to turn on the product or the battery pack may not be properly charged. In that case, clean the battery by lightly wiping off any dust using a soft cloth or a cotton swab. How to store the battery pack To maintain the battery pack's function, charge the battery pack and then fully discharge it in the camera at least once a year before storing it. Store the battery in a cool, dry place after removing it from the camera.
