Charging the battery pack
When using the camera for the first time, be sure to charge the NP-FW50 
“InfoLITHIUM” battery pack (supplied).
The “InfoLITHIUM” battery pack can be charged even when it has not been 
fully depleted. The battery pack 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 shoot.
