Charging the Battery
New battery or the battery that has not been used for an extended period of
time (the battery that passed the expiry date is an exception) might affect the
number of pictures that can be taken. Therefore, to maximize its performance
and lifetime, we recommend that you fully charge the battery and discharge it
for at least one complete cycle before use. Using the optional AC power adapter
charges the battery. Make sure that the power of the camera is off and then
insert the battery before starting.
1. Insert one end of the AC power adapter into the DC IN 5V terminal of the
camera.
2. Insert the other end of the AC power adapter into a wall outlet.
The viewfinder LED lights green when charging is started and goes off
when charging is completed. It lights orange when a charging error occurs.
It is recommended to fully discharge or exhaust the battery before being
charged.
Charging time varies according to the ambient temperature and the status
of battery.
If you want to use the camera when the battery charging is in progress,
use the camera with the AC power adapter connected.
Digital Camera >>
22-E
This camera must be used with specified AC power adapter. Damage
caused by the use of an incorrect adapter is not covered under the
warranty.
When the charging is not started even if following the above procedure,
turn the power on at any mode after LCD indication appears, and then
turn the power off.
The battery may feel warm after it has been charged or immediately after
being used. This is normal and not a malfunction.
When using the camera in cold areas, keep the camera and battery warm
by holding them inside your outer cloth.
If you open the battery cover without removing the battery, the power will
not be terminated. If you remove the battery, you have to insert the battery
again in a period of 2 hours in order to make sure that the date and time
will not be reset.
