Help Guide Digital Camera ZV-1F Notes on the battery pack and charging the battery Notes on using the battery pack Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs. The correct remaining battery indicator may not be displayed under some operating or environmental conditions. Do not expose the battery pack to water. The battery pack is not water-resistant. Do not leave the battery pack in extremely hot places, such as in a car or under direct sunlight. Notes on charging the battery pack Charge the battery pack (supplied) before using the product for the first time. The charged battery pack will discharge little by little even if you do not use it. Charge the battery pack each time before you use the product so that you do not miss any opportunities to shoot images. Do not charge battery packs except battery packs specified for this product. Doing so can result in leaks, overheating, explosions, electric shocks, burns, or injuries. When you use a completely new battery pack or a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the charge lamp (CHARGE) may flash quickly when the battery is charged. If this happens, remove the battery pack and then re-insert it to recharge. We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 °C and 30 °C (50 °F and 86 °F). The battery pack may not be correctly charged in temperatures outside this range. Operation cannot be guaranteed with all external power supplies. 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. Do not continuously or repeatedly charge the battery pack without using it if it is already fully charged or close to fully charged. Doing so may cause a deterioration in battery performance. If the product's charge lamp flashes while charging, remove the battery pack being charged, and then insert the same battery pack firmly back into the product. If the charge lamp flashes again, this may indicate a faulty battery or that a battery pack other than the specified type has been inserted. Check that the battery pack is the specified type. If the battery pack is the specified type, remove the battery pack, replace it with a new or different one and check that the newly inserted battery is charging correctly. If the newly inserted battery is charging correctly, the previously inserted battery may be faulty. 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 you do not operate the product for a certain period of time while the power is on, the product turns off automatically (Auto power-off function). If the remaining battery indicator does not appear on the screen, press the DISP (Display Setting) button to display it. Effective use of the battery pack 23
