Preparation
∫ Charging
The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely. The charging 
time may vary depending on how the battery has been used. The charging time for the battery in hot/
cold environments or a battery that has not been used for long time may be longer than normal.
When the charging has been completed successfully, the [CHARGE] indicator turns off.
Charging time and number of recordable pictures with the optional battery pack 
(DMW-BLB13PP) are the same as above.
∫ When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes
The battery temperature is too high or too low. Please charge the battery again in a 
temperature between 10
oC to 35 oC (50 oF to 95 oF).
The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth.
∫ Battery indication
The battery indication is displayed on the LCD monitor/
the optional external viewfinder
.
[It does not appear when you use the camera with the AC adaptor (P164) connected.]
The indication turns red and blinks if the remaining battery power is exhausted. (The status 
indicator also blinks) Recharge the battery or replace it with a fully charged battery.
Note
Do not use any other AC cables except the supplied one.
Disconnect the charger from the power outlet after the charging is completed.The battery 
becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also becomes warm 
during use. This is not a malfunction.
The battery will become discharged if left for a long period of time after being charged.
The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not 
recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully 
charged. (Since characteristic swelling may occur.)
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the contact areas of the power plug. 
Otherwise, a fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the 
resulting heat generated.
