Preparing the Camera
This section describes the procedures required to prepare the camera for use.
Using the Battery Pack
Use rechargeable Battery Pack NB-4H, which is bundled with the camera, as the battery power source. Ensure that the battery pack has been fully charged before you install it in the camera.
• Compact Power Adapter CA-PS200 can be used with power supplies ranging from 100 to 240 volts.
Charging the Battery Pack
• The battery pack requires approximately 70 minutes to charge fully from a completely discharged state (as charged with Compact Power Adapter CA-PS200 according to standard Canon testing conditions).
Charging times will vary with the ambient
temperature and charge state of the battery pack.
To protect and prolong the battery pack
life, do not charge it longer than 24 hours at a time.
• Do not charge the battery pack in poorly ventilated areas.
• Remove the power cord from the outlet when charging is complete or the compact power adapter is not in use.
• Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack NB-4H with the compact power adapter.

Refresh Button
The charging indicator will flash orange while refreshing the battery pack.
• Be careful not to press the refresh button a second time during the refresh cycle. If this button is mistakenly pressed, the charging indicator will change to a flashing green and begin to charge the battery pack.
4. Once the refresh cycle is complete, the
charging indicator will cease to flash
orange. It will commence flashing green and start to charge the battery pack.
Leave it in this state until the charging indicator shines steady green to indicate that charging is complete.
• Compact Power Adapter CA-PS200 will not refresh the battery pack while the DC Coupler DR-200 is connect. Ensure that the DC coupler is not connected before attempting to refresh the battery pack.
• Repeatedly charging the battery pack before it is fully discharged will lower the battery capacity. Restore its capacity by running it through the refresh cycle.
• Battery packs that have been unused for periods over one year may initially have a diminished capacity even when fully charged. Restore the capacity by running it through the refresh cycle.
Preparing the Camera
