 If the Charge lamp on the camera flashes when the AC Adaptor is connected to the 
wall outlet (wall socket), this indicates that charging is temporarily stopped 
because the temperature is outside the recommended range. When the temperature 
gets back within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend 
charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C 
(50 ºF to 86 ºF).
 The battery pack may not be effectively charged if the terminal section of the 
battery is dirty. In this case, wipe any dust off lightly using a soft cloth or a cotton 
swab to clean the terminal section of the battery.
 Connect the AC Adaptor (supplied) to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If 
malfunctions occur while using the AC Adaptor, disconnect the plug from the wall 
outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect from the power source.
 When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall 
socket).
 Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, micro USB cable (supplied) 
and AC Adaptor (supplied).
xCharging time (Full charge)
The charging time is approximately 115 min. using the AC Adaptor 
(supplied).
 The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a 
temperature of 25°C (77 °F). Charging may take longer depending on conditions 
of use and circumstances.

source, the laptop battery level decreases. Do not charge for an extended period 
of time.
– Do not turn on/off or restart the computer, or wake the computer to resume from 
sleep mode when a USB connection has been established between the computer 
and the camera. The camera may cause a malfunction. Before turning on/off, or
