Getting Started
This chapter explains preparatory steps before you start 
shooting and basic camera operations.
Attaching the Strap
Pass the end of the strap through the camera’s strap mount 
eyelet from the bottom. Then  pass it through the strap’s buckle 
as shown in the illustration. Pull the strap to take up any slack 
and make sure the strap will  not loosen from the buckle.

1Connect the charger to a power outlet.
 Connect the power plug to a power 
outlet, and connect the power cord to 
the charger.
  When no battery is attached, all the 
indicator lamps will be off.
2Remove the protective covers.
 As shown in the illustration, detach 
the charger’s protective cover 
(provided) and the battery’s protective 
cover (provided).
3Recharge the battery.
 Slide the battery into the charger’s 
slot as shown by the arrow, and make 
sure it is securely attached.
 
You can attach the battery to slot A or B.
X The battery will start recharging and 
the green status lamp will blink.
X When the battery is fully charged, all 
three Charge level indicators will light 
up (50%/80%/100%).
 
It takes approx. 130 min. for LP-E 4N and approx. 120 min. for LP-
E4 to fully recharge a complete ly exhausted battery at 23°C/73°F.
 The time required to recharge  the battery will vary greatly 
depending on the ambient temperature and the battery’s 
remaining capacity.
Charging the Battery
  The LC-E4N charger cannot charge any battery other than the Battery 
Pack LP-E4N/LP-E4.
  Depending on the battery’s condition, charge may not reach 100%.
