[10] How  to Use
Preparing the cameraCharging the battery pack
Charging the battery pack while it is inserted in the
camera
When using the camera for the first time, be sure  to charge the battery pack. The charged
battery pack will discharge little by little, even if you do not use it. To avoid missing a
shooting opportunity, charge the battery pack before shooting. 1.  Turn the power OFF.
2 .  Connect the camera with the battery pack inserted to the AC Adaptor  (supplied) using
the micro  USB cable (supplied), and connect  the AC Adaptor  to the wall outlet  (wall
socket).

Off: Charging finished  
Flashing: Charging error or charging paused temporarily  because the camera is not
within the proper temperature range
Charging time (Full charge)
The charging time is approximately 310 min. using the AC Adaptor  (supplied).
The charging time may differ depending on the remaining capacity of the battery pack or
the charging conditions.
The battery pack can be charged even when it is not fully depleted.
The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack (supplied) at
a temperature of 25°C (77°F).  Charging may take longer depending on the conditions  of
use and the environment.
To check the remaining battery charge, detach  the micro  USB cable and check the 
(remaining charge indicator) on the screen.
Note
If the charge lamp flashes when the battery pack is not fully charged, remove the battery
pack from the camera and then  re-insert  it to recharge.
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
at an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50ºF to 86ºF).
Connect the AC Adaptor  to the nearest wall outlet  (wall socket).  If malfunctions occur
while using the AC Adaptor, immediately disconnect the plug from the wall outlet  (wall
socket) to disconnect from the power source.
When you use a completely new battery pack or a battery pack that has not been used for
a long time, the charge lamp may flash quickly when the battery is charged for the first
time. If that happens, remove the battery pack from the camera and then  re-insert  it to
recharge.
Do not continuously or repeatedly charge the battery pack without using it if it is already
fully charged or close to fully charged. Doing so may cause a deterioration in battery
