About the internal backup battery
i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time
settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully
charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about
2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the
camera settings for about 7 days.
When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack
i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it
is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the
camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the
battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may
be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the
camera settings are correct.
Recharging when connected to the USB terminal (page 6 in the Xacti
Software CD INSTRUCTION MANUAL)
i The battery can be recharged while the camera is connected to a
computer. During recharging, the camera is recognized by the computer as
a separate drive; however, data cannot be exchanged.
i The time it takes to recharge will differ depending on the operating
condition of the camera and the computer.
i Connect the dedicated USB interface cable to the USB connector on your
computer. Do not connect it to the USB connector on the monitor or the
keyboard, or to the USB hub. Correct operation of the USB interface cable
cannot be guaranteed if it is connected to a connector other than the
computer's USB connector.
i If the camera is not going to be used for an extended period of time, please
disconnect the dedicated USB interface cable from the camera.
