● For details on charging time and the number of shots and
recording time possible with a fully charged battery pack, see
“Number of Shots/Recording Time, Playback Time” (= 178).
● You can view images even while the battery is charging, by
turning the camera on and entering Playback mode (= 23).
However, you cannot shoot while the battery is charging.
● If the USB charge lamp does not light up, remove the interface
cable from the camera and plug it again.
● Charged battery packs gradually lose their charge, even when
they are not used. Charge the battery pack on (or immediately
before) the day of use.
● The charger can be used in areas with 100 – 240 V AC power
(50/60 Hz). For power outlets in a different format, use a
commercially available adapter for the plug. Never use an
electrical transformer designed for traveling, which may damage
the battery pack.
Using a Computer to Charge the Battery
You can also charge the battery pack by inserting the larger plug of the
interface cable into a computer’s USB terminal in step 2 of “Inserting and
Charging the Battery Pack” (= 149). For details about USB connections
on the computer, refer to the computer user manual.
● Charging is not possible when the camera is off.
● With some computers, battery charging may require the memory
card to be in the camera. Insert the memory card in the camera
(= 18) before connecting the cable to the computer’s USB port.

interface cable from the camera and then replace the battery.
