• When charging starts, the [CHARGE] 
indicator lights. 
∫ Charging error
• If a charging error occurs, the [CHARGE] 
indicator blinks in 1 second cycles.
In this case, disconnect the AC cable from 
the electrical outlet, remove the battery 
and make sure that both room and battery 
temperature are not too low or high and 
then charge it again. If the [CHARGE] 
indicator still blinks even if you charge the 
battery for a while, consult the dealer or 
your nearest servicentre.
• When the operating time of the camera 
becomes extremely short even if the 
battery is properly charged, the life of the 
battery may have expired. Buy a new 
battery. 
∫ Charging conditions
• Charge the battery under temperature of 
10
oC – 35oC. (Battery temperature should 
be the same.)
• The performance of the battery may be 
temporarily deteriorated and the operating 
time may become shorter in low 
temperature conditions (e.g. skiing/
snowboarding).
