Charging the Battery
∫ About batteries you can use with this camera
It has been found that counterfeit batteries which look very similar to the
genuine product are made available to purchase in some markets. Some of these
batteries are not adequately protected with internal protection to meet the
requirements of appropriate safety standards. There is a possibility that these
batteries may lead to fire or explosion. Please be advised that we are not liable
for any accident or failure occurring as a result of use of a counterfeit battery. To
ensure safe operation we urgently recommend to use only the Leica battery
BP-DC10 E/U (P7).
•
Use only the specified charger and battery.
• The camera has a function for distinguishing batteries which can be used safely. The
dedicated battery supports this function. The only batteries suitable for use with this
camera is the Leica battery BP-DC10 E/U (P7). (Batteries which do not support this
function cannot be used.) Leica cannot in any way guarantee the quality, performance or
safety of any other batteries.
∫ Charging
•
The battery is not charged when the camera is shipped. Charge the battery before use.
• Charge the battery with the charger indoors.
• It is recommended to charge the battery in a temperature between 10 oC to 30 oC (50 oF to
86 oF). (The battery temperature should also be the same.)
Insert the battery into the
charger.
• The terminals should face the charger’s
contacts and the Leica logo upwards.

Preparation
90
plug-in type
Connect the charger to the
electrical outlet.
• Disconnect the charger from the
electrical socket and detach the battery
after charging is completed.
• The AC cable does not fit entirely into
the AC input terminal. A gap will remain
as shown on the right.
cable type
∫ About the [CHARGE] indicator
The [CHARGE] indicator A turns on:
Charging has started.
The [CHARGE] indicator A turns off:
Charging has been completed without any problem.
•
When the [CHARGE] indicator flashes
– The battery temperature is too high or too low. It is recommended to charge the battery again
in an ambient temperature of between 10 oC to 30 oC (50 oF to 86 oF).
– The terminals of the charger or the battery are dirty. In this case, wipe them with a dry cloth.
- 17 -
Preparation
∫ Charging time
Charging time Approx. 155 min
The indicated charging time is for when the battery has been discharged completely.
•
The charging time may vary depending on how the battery has been used. The charging
time for the battery in hot/cold environments or a battery that has not been used for a
long time may be longer than normal.
∫ Battery indication
The battery indication is displayed on the screen
¢ “Screen” refers to both the LCD monitor and the Electronic Viewfinder EVF1 (available as
accessory, see P7), whichever is selected.
¢
.
• The indication turns red and flashes if the remaining battery power is exhausted. (The status
indicator flashes when the LCD monitor turns off.) Recharge the battery or replace it with a fully
charged battery.
Note
The battery becomes warm after using it and during and after charging. The camera also
•
becomes warm during use. This is not a malfunction.
• The battery can be recharged even when it still has some charge left, but it is not
recommended that the battery charge be frequently topped up while the battery is fully
charged. (Since characteristic swelling may occur.)
• Do not leave any metal items (such as clips) near the power plug terminals. Otherwise, a
fire and/or electric shocks may be caused by short-circuiting or the resulting heat
generated.

Approximate operating time and number of recordable pictures
∫ Recording still pictures
[when using the LCD monitor/the Electronic Viewfinder EVF1 (available as
accessory, see P7)]
Number of recordable
pictures
Recording time Approx. 200 min
Recording conditions by CIPA standard
CIPA is an abbreviation of [Camera & Imaging Products Association].
•
• Temperature: 23 oC (73.4 oF)/Humidity: 50%RH when LCD monitor is on.
• Using a 32 MB SD Memory Card.
• Using the supplied battery.
• Starting recording 30 seconds after the camera is turned on. (When the Optical Image
Stabilizer function is set to [AUTO].)
• Recording once every 30 seconds with full flash every second recording.
• Rotating the zoom lever from Tele to Wide or vice versa in every recording.
• Turning the camera off every 10 recordings and leaving it until the temperature of the battery
decreases.
The number of recordable pictures varies depending on the recording interval time.
If the recording interval time becomes longer, the number of recordable pictures
decreases. [For example, if you were to take one picture every two minutes, then the
number of pictures would be reduced to approximately one-quarter of the number
of pictures given above (based upon one picture taken every 30 seconds).]

Playback time Approx. 360 min
Note
The operating times and number of recordable pictures will differ according to the
•
environment and the operating conditions.
For example, in the following cases, the operating times shorten and the number of recordable
pictures is reduced.
– In low-temperature environments, such as on ski slopes.
– When using [AUTO POWER LCD] or [POWER LCD] (P32).
– When operations such as flash and zoom are used repeatedly.
• When the operating time of the camera becomes extremely short even after properly charging
the battery, the life of the battery may have expired. Buy a new battery.
