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

    , which 
    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
