IMPORTANT
- To protect the battery pack and keep it in optimal condition, do not charge it continuously for more than 24 hours.

- Charging time is approximately 3 hours.
- You can view images even while the battery is charging, by turning the camera on and entering Playback mode. However, you cannot shoot while the battery is charging. Also note that the camera cannot be used unless the battery is in it.
- Charged batteries gradually lose their charge, even when they are not used. Charge the battery on (or immediately before) the day of use.
- The compact power adapter can be used in areas with 100 – 240 V AC power (50/60 Hz). For power outlets in a different format, use a commercially available adapter for the plug. Never use an electrical transformer designed for traveling, which may damage the battery.
