orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).
• Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).
• Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or backward, as
this could cause a malfunction.
B Formatting a Memory Card
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this
camera, make sure to format it with this camera.

data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep
before formatting the memory card.
• Insert the memory card into the camera, press the d button, and select Format card in
the setup menu (A116).

Charging the Battery
Power-on lamp (charge lamp)
Electrical outlet
USB cable (included)
Charging
AC Adapter
If a pl ug adapter * is includ ed with your camer a, securel y connect it to the Cha rging AC
Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly remove the plug adapte r
could damage the product.
* The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in which the
camera was purchased.
This step can be omitted if the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to the
Charging AC Adapter.
• Charging starts when the camera is connected to an electrical outlet while the
battery is inserted, as shown in the illustration. The power-on lamp (charge lamp)
slowly flashes while the battery is charging.
• When charging is complete, the power-on lamp turns off. Unplug the Charging AC
Adapter from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the USB cable.
Charging time is about 3 hours for a fully exhausted battery.
• The battery cannot be charged when the power-on lamp quickly flashes, possibly
due to one of the reasons described below.
- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.
- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.
- The battery is damaged.
