Notes on charging time
When using the AC adaptor (supplied)
Charging time
Approx. 260 min
 
• The charging time indicated above is the time required for charging in case when the 
battery is completely used up. The time required for charging differs depending on 
conditions of battery usage. Charging takes longer in cases when temperatures are 
either high or low and when the battery has not been used for a long period of time.
 
• The time required for charging through the computer varies depending on the 
specifications of the computer.
 
Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied one. Doing so may 
cause malfunction of the camera.
 
Do not use a USB extension cable.
 
The AC adaptor (supplied) and the USB connection cable (supplied) are dedicated 
accessories of this camera. Do not use it for other devices.
 
If there is any trouble related to the electrical outlet (i.e. power failure), charging may 
not complete properly. Disconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and reconnect 
it to the camera.
 
If the charging lamp does not light or flash even when the camera is properly connected 
to the AC adaptor (supplied) or your computer, charging has been put in pause status 
because the temperature is not in the appropriate range for charging. This is not a 
malfunction. Reconnect the USB connection cable (supplied) and retry charging in 
a place where ambient temperature is 10 °C to 30 °C (50 °F to 86 °F) (temperature 
conditions also apply to the battery itself).
