    •	 To protect the battery pack and keep it in optimal condition, do not 
    charge it continuously for more than 24 hours.
    •	 For battery chargers that use a power cord, do not attach the 
    charger or cord to other objects. Doing so could result in malfunction 
    or damage to the product.
    •	 For details on charging time and the number of shots and recording time \
    possible with a fully charged battery pack, see “Number of Shots/Reco\
    rding 
    Time, Playback Time” (=
      204).
    •	 Charged battery packs gradually lose their charge, even when they are no\
    t 
    used. Charge the battery pack on (or immediately before) the day of us\
    e. As a 
    visual reminder of the charging status, attach the battery cover with 
     visible 
    on a charged battery pack and concealed on an uncharged one.
    •	 The charger 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, wh\
    ich may 
    damage the battery pack.
    Inserting the Batter y Pack and Memor y Card
    Insert the included battery pack and a memory card (sold separately).
    Note that before using a new memory card (or a memory card formatted 
    in another device), you should format the memory card with this camera \
    (=
      153).
    1	 Check	the	card’s	write-protect	tab.
    zzRecording is not possible on memory 
    cards with a write-protect tab when the 
    tab is in the locked (downward) position. 
    Slide the tab up until it clicks into the 
    unlocked position.
    2 Open the cover.
    zzSlide the cover () and open it ().
    3 Insert the battery pack.
    zzWhile pressing the battery lock in the 
    direction of the arrow, insert the battery 
    pack as shown and push it in until it clicks 
    into the locked position.
    zzIf you insert the battery pack facing the 
    wrong way, it cannot be locked into the 
    correct
    	position.	Always	confirm	that	the	battery pack is facing the right way and 
    locks when inserted.
    4 Insert the memory card.
    zzInsert the memory card facing as shown 
    until it clicks into the locked position.
    zzMake sure the memory card is facing the 
    right way when you insert it. Inserting 
    memory cards facing the wrong way may 
    damage the camera.
