GB27 GB Preparing the camera Charging the battery pack When using the camera for the first time, be sure to charge the NP-FW50 battery pack (supplied). The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack can be charged even when it has not been fully depleted. It can also be used when it has not been fully charged. The charged battery pack is discharged little by little, even when you do not use it. To avoid missing an opportunity to shoot, charge the battery pack again before you shooting. 1Set the ON/OFF (Power) switch to OFF. 2Slide the lever to open the cover. 3Insert the battery pack completely, using the tip of the battery to press the lock lever.Lock lever
Charging the battery pack GB28 4Close the cover. 5Connect the camera to the AC Adaptor (supplied) using the micro USB cable (supplied), and connect the AC Adaptor to the wall outlet (wall socket). For customers in the USA and Canada For customers in countries/regions other than the USA and CanadaPower cord (Mains lead)
Charging the battery pack GB29 GB Notes 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 (50ºF to 86ºF). 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 the camera is being used for the first time or when you use 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 without using it if it is already fully charged or close to fully charged. Doing so may cause a deterioration in battery performance. 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). The charge lamp lights orange, and charging starts. Turn off the camera while charging the battery. When the charge lamp flashes and charging is not finished, remove and re- insert the battery pack. Charge lamp Lit: Charging Off: Charging finished Flashing: Charging error or charging paused temporarily because the camera is not within the proper temperature range
Charging the battery pack GB30 The charging time is approximately 310 min. using the AC Adaptor (supplied). Notes 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. The battery pack can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer using a micro USB cable. Notes Note the following points when charging via a computer: – If the camera is connected to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power 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 restarting the computer or waking the computer from sleep mode, disconnect the camera and the computer. – No guarantees are made for charging using a custom-built computer or a modified computer.
