Preparing the Camera, Basic Functions
5
Connect the DC plug of the compact
power adapter to the camera’s DC IN
terminal.
• The indicator beside the viewfinder will blink
orange while the battery pack is charging and
change to steady orange when it is
approximately 90% charged, which is
adequate for use. If it is charged for
approximately 2 more hours, it will become
fully charged and the indicator will switch to
green.
• After charging the battery, remove it from the
camera when the camera will not be used.
•
If the power is turned on while charging, the battery pack will stop charging and
the compact power adapter will power the camera.
•
This is a lithium ion battery pack so there is no need to completely use or discharge
it before recharging. It can be recharged at any time.
•
It takes approximately 80 minutes to bring a fully discharged battery pack to a
charge state of approximately 90% (adequate charge for use). It takes
approximately 2 more hours to charge it fully (based on Canon´s testing standard).
Charge it within a temperature range of 5 to 40º C (41 to 104º F).
•
Charging times will vary according to the surrounding humidity and battery pack
charge state.
•
Battery Pack BP-512 (optional) can also be used in this camera.
Battery Pack Handling Precautions
•Keep the battery pack and camera terminals (
) clean at all times. Dirty
terminals may cause a poor contact between the battery pack and camera. Polish
the terminals with a tissue or a dry cloth before charging or using the battery
pack.
•Do not cover the compact power adapter with anything, such as a tablecloth,
cushion or blanket, when it is charging. Heat will build up internally and possibly
lead to fire.
•Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack BP-511 or Battery Pack BP-512
with the supplied equipment. It could damage the camera.
•The battery pack continues to discharge a small amount when left in the camera
even with the power turned off. This shortens the battery life. Remove it from
the camera, attach the supplied terminal cover and store it at room temperature
(30º C / 86º F or less) in a dry place. Charge it before use.
