u Caution
• Do not apply excessive force when opening and closing the

If the seal is not in the correct position, the camera will not be
waterproof.
• If the battery/card cover is not locked securely, water, sand,
or dirt may get into the camera.
• This camera uses a specifically designed D-LI68
rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Use of any other type of
battery may damage the camera and cause malfunctions.
• Insert the battery correctly. If the battery is not inserted
correctly, it may cause malfunctions.
• When storing the battery for more than 6 months, charge the
battery for 30 minutes using the power adapter and store the
battery separately. Be sure to recharge the battery every 6 to
12 months. Storing the battery below room temperature is
ideal. Avoid storing it in high temperatures.
• The date and time may be reset to the default settings if the
camera is left without the battery for a long time.
• Be careful as the camera or the battery may become hot
when the camera is used continuously for a long period of
time.
• Allow the camera to dry completely before changing the
battery or memory card. Avoid changing the battery or
memory card where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty,
and make sure that your hands are dry.
• Be sure to use this camera to format (initialize) a memory
card that is unused or has been previously used on other
cameras or digital devices. Refer to the Operating Manual
(PDF) (p.39) for instructions on formatting cards.
• Make sure that the camera is turned off before inserting or
removing the battery or memory card.
t Memo
• The camera does not come with a memory card. You must
purchase one separately. (Use a microSD card of Speed
Class 10 or higher. For d movies set to z, use a microSDXC
card of UHS-I Speed Class 3.)
• To remove the memory card, first open the battery/card
cover. Press the card in lightly with your finger until the card
pops out, then pull it straight out.

Charging the battery
Connect the supplied power adapter (D-PA164) to the camera
and charge the battery before using the camera for the first time
or if you have not used it for a long time.
1 While the camera is turned off, connect the USB
cable to the camera's USB terminal and the
power adapter.
2 Plug the power adapter into the power outlet to
start charging.
The power lamp blinks while charging.
When charging is finished, the power lamp turns off.
u Caution
• Do not use the supplied power adapter (D-PA164) for any
other purpose than that of connecting to this camera and
charging the designated battery. Doing otherwise may cause
a connected device to be damaged or overheated.
• The battery has reached the end of its service life when it
starts to run down soon after being charged. Replace it with a
new battery.
• If the power lamp does not light even if the camera is
connected to a power outlet, the battery is faulty. Replace it
with a new battery.
t Memo
• Charging time is a maximum of about 130 minutes (this may
vary depending on ambient temperature and charging
conditions). Charge the battery in a range from 0°C to 40°C
(32°F to 104°F).
• Battery performance may deteriorate as temperature
decreases. When using the camera in cold regions, we
recommend carrying a spare battery in your pocket to keep it
warm. Battery performance will recover when the
temperature returns to normal.
• Be sure to take a spare battery with you when traveling
abroad or to a cold region, or if you intend to take a lot of
pictures.
