Powering the Camera

Use the battery charger to charge the battery before using it in the

camera for the first time or after a long period of non-use, or when the

[Battery depleted] message appears.

rated 125 V, 7A, minimum 6ft (1.8m)”

The charging indicator lights red while the battery is charging and turns

off when charging is finished.

charging is finished.

Charging the Battery

• The time required to fully charge the battery is about 90 minutes (max.). The

appropriate ambient temperature for charging the battery is 0°C to 40°C (32°F
to 104°F). (The charging time may vary depending on the ambient
temperature and charging conditions.)

• The battery has reached the end of its service life when it starts to run down

soon after being charged. Replace with a new battery.

• Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries other than the rechargeable

lithium-ion battery D-LI72, as the charger may overheat or be damaged.

• If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails to light, the

battery may be faulty. Replace with a new battery.
