replacement, you can disconnect the AC adapter from the camera.
Battery Charging
Two methods are available to charge batteries:
• Charging in the camera
• Charging in an external battery charger
Charging in camera
• Properly insert the battery into the battery door and close the door; connect the camera to
AC adapter through the AC adapter cable, and then connect the AC adapter to a socket or
wall outlet
User Manual
24
• Now charging starts. While charging, the battery level symbol will be rolling in the status
display screen. Once the battery is fully charged, the symbol will become steady.
Charging in an external battery charger
• Insert the battery into the battery charger. This is done by aligning the end surface of the
battery pack to the edge of the terminal shutter of this unit, then fitting and sliding the
battery packing in the direction of the arrow.
• Connect the charger to a wall outlet or socket
• The battery charger will utter an audible sound to indicate charging start and the battery
level symbol will flash in its LCD screen. Besides the battery level symbol, its LCD screen
also shows the battery capacity by ** Hr ** Min. The capacity will increases as charging
goes on. While charging, the charge lamps on the top of the battery pack will light in turn,
indicating charging is going on.
• When normal charge is completed, the charger will give an audible sound, display a
prompt Full & the battery capacity in its LCD screen and stop the battery level symbol from
flashing. The charge lamps on the top of the battery pack also go out.
• Remove the battery pack when required. It can be used even if the charging is not
completed
User Manual
25
• Once the battery is fully charged it can be used with the camera
Additional Information
• All rechargeable batteries gradually lose their charge over time when they are left in
storage. If the battery is to be left in storage or for a period of non-use, a 'top-off' charge
should be carried out prior to use
