Preparing the battery pack
When using the camera for the first time, be sure to charge the NP-
FM500H “InfoLITHIUM” 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.
Notes
• The charging time differs depending on the remaining capacity of the battery back or 
charging conditions.
• We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 
10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). You may not be able to efficiently charge the battery 
pack outside of this temperature range.
• Connect the battery charger to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket).
• Do not try to charge the battery pack again right after it has been charged, or when it 
has not been used after being charged. Doing so will affect the performance of the 
battery pack.
