 If the power/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).
 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).
 The AC Adaptor AC-UD11 (sold separa tely) may not be available in some 
countries/regions.
xCharging time (Full charge)
The charging time is approximately 150 min. using the AC Adaptor 
(supplied). The power/charge lamp lights up and then turns off immediately 
when the battery pack is fully charged.
 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.

xCharging by connecting to a computer
The battery pack can be charged by connecting the camera to a computer using 
a micro USB cable. Connect the camera to the computer with the camera 
turned off.
 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. That may cause the camera to 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.

xSupplying power
You can use the AC Adaptor (supplied) to supply power during shooting or 
playing back images, reducing battery pack consumption.
 The camera will not activate if there is no remaining battery. Insert a sufficiently  charged battery pack into the camera.
 If you use the camera while power is being supplied from a wall outlet (wall 
socket), make sure that the icon ( ) displays on the monitor.
 Do not remove the battery pack while power is being supplied from a wall outlet  (wall socket). If you remove the battery pack, the camera will turn off.
 Do not remove the battery pack while the access lamp (page 9) is lit. The data on  the memory card may be damaged.
 As long as the power is on, the battery pack will not be charged even if the camera 
is connected to the AC Adaptor.
 Under certain conditions, power may be supplied from the battery supplementarily  even if you are using the AC Adaptor.
 While power is being supplied via USB connection, the temperature inside the  camera will rise and the continuous recording time may be shortened.
 When using a mobile charger as a power source, confirm that it is fully charged 
before use. Also, be careful of the remaining power on the mobile charger during 
use.
