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.
 The eyepiece cover is also 
attached to the strap (p.183).

1Remove the protective cover.
 Detach the protective cover provided 
with the battery.
2Attach the battery.
 As shown in the illustration, attach the 
battery securely to the charger.
  To detach the battery, follow the 
above procedure in reverse.
3Recharge the battery.
For LC-E6
 As shown by the arrow, flip out the 
battery charger’s prongs and insert 
the prongs into a power outlet.
For LC-E6E
 Connect the power cord to the 
charger and insert the plug into a 
power outlet. 
X Recharging starts automatically and 
the charge lamp blinks in orange.
 
It takes approx. 2.5 hours to fully recharge  a completely exhausted battery at room 
temperature (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.
  For safety reasons, recharging in  low temperatures (5°C - 10°C / 
41°F - 50°F) will take longer  (up to approx. 4 hours).

Charging the Battery
 Upon purchase, the batter y is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.
 
Recharge the battery on the day before  or on the day it is to be used.Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually  drain and lose its capacity.
 After recharging the battery, de tach it and disconnect the 
charger from the power outlet.
  You can attach the cover in a different 
orientation to indicate whether the battery 
has been recharged or not.
If the battery has been recharged, attach the 
cover so that the ba ttery-shaped hole < > is 
aligned over the blue sticker on  the battery. If the battery is 
exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation.
  When not using the camera, remove the battery.
If the battery is left in  the camera for a prolonged  period, a small amount 
of power current is released, result ing in excess discharge and shorter 
battery life. Store the battery with t he protective cover attached. Storing 
the battery when it is fully charge d may lower the battery’s performance.
 The battery charger can also be  used in foreign countries.The battery charger is compatible with  a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz 
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for 
the respective country or region. Do  not attach any portable voltage 
transformer to the battery  charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.
 If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully 
charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.396) and purchase a 
new battery.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
 After disconnecting the charger’s power plug,  do not touch the prongs for approx. 10 sec. If the battery’s remaining capacity (p .396) is 94% or higher, the battery 
will not be recharged.
  The charger cannot charg e any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6.
