Getting Started
This chapter explains preparatory steps before you start 
shooting and basic camera operations.
Attaching the Strap
Pass the end of the strap through 
the camera’s strap mount eyelet 
from the bottom. Then pass it 
through the strap’s buckle as shown 
in the illustration. Pull the strap to 
take up any slack and make sure 
the strap will not loosen from the 
buckle.
The eyepiece cover is attached to 
the strap (p.220).

1Remove the protective cover.
Detach the protective cover provided 
with the battery.
2Attach the battery.
As shown in the illustration, attach the 
battery securely to the charger.
 To detach the battery, follow the 
above procedure in reverse.
3Recharge the battery.
For LC-E6
As shown by the arrow, flip out the 
battery charger’s prongs and insert 
the prongs into a power outlet.
For LC-E6E
Connect the power cord to the 
charger and insert the plug into a 
power outlet. 
 Recharging starts automatically and 
the charge lamp blinks in orange.
 It takes approx. 2 hr. and 30 min. to fully recharge a completely 
exhausted battery at room temperature (23°C / 73°F). The time 
required to recharge the battery will vary greatly depending on the 
ambient temperature and the battery’s remaining capacity.
 For safety reasons, recharging in low temperatures (5°C - 10°C / 
41°F - 50°F) will take longer (up to approx. 4 hr.).

Charging the Battery
Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.
Charge the battery before use.

Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be used.
Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its capacity.
 After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the 
charger from the power outlet.
 You can attach the cover in a different 
orientation to indicate whether the battery 
has been recharged or not.
If the battery has been recharged, attach the 
cover so that the battery-shaped hole < V> is 
aligned over the blue sticker on the battery. If the battery is 
exhausted, attach the cover in the opposite orientation.
 When not using the camera,  remove the battery.
If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount 
of power current is released, resul ting in excess discharge and shorter 
battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover attached. Storing 
the battery when it is fully charged may lower the battery’s performance.
 The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/60 Hz 
power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for 
the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage 
transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.
If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully 
charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.
Check the battery’s recharge performance (p.452) and purchase a new battery.
Tips for Using the Battery and Charger
 After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for 
approx. 10 sec.
 If the battery’s remaining capacity (p.452) is 94% or higher, the battery 
will not be recharged.

The charger cannot charge any battery other than Battery Pack LP-E6N/LP-E6. 
						

							36
Load a fully-charged Battery Pack LP-E6N (or LP-E6) into the camera. 
The camera’s viewfinder becomes bright when a battery is 
installed, and darkens when the battery is removed. If the battery 
is not installed, the picture in the viewfinder becomes blurred and 
focus cannot be achieved.
1Open the cover.
Slide the lever as shown by the 
arrows and open the cover.
2Insert the battery.
Insert the end with the electrical 
contacts.
 Insert the battery until it locks in 
place.
3Close the cover.
Press the cover until it snaps shut.
Open the cover and remove the 
battery.
Press the battery lock lever as shown 
by the arrow and remove the battery.

To prevent short circuiting of the electrical 
contacts, be sure to attach the provided 
protective cover (p.34) to the battery.

Removing the Card
 The number of possible shots depends  on the remaining capacity of the 
card, image-recording quality, ISO speed, etc.
 Setting [ z1: Release shutter without card ] to [Disable ] will prevent 
you from shooting without a card inserted (p.470).
Access lamp 
						

							39
Installing and Removing the Card
When the access lamp is lit or blinking, it indicates that images are 
being written to, read from, or erased from the card, or data is being 
transferred. Do not open the card slot cover during this time.
Also, never do any of the following while the access lamp is lit or 
blinking. Otherwise, it can damage the image data, card, or camera.
• Removing the card.
• Removing the battery.
• Shaking or banging the camera around.
• Unplugging and connecting a power cord (when household power 
outlet accessories (sold separately, p.456) are used) .
 If the card already contains recorded images, the image number may not 
start from 0001 (p.184).
 If a card-related error message is displayed on the LCD monitor, remove 
and reinsert the card. If the error persists, use a different card.
If you can transfer all the images on the card to a computer, transfer all 
the images and then format the card with the camera (p.64). The card 
may then return to normal.
 Do not touch the card’s contacts wi th your fingers or metal objects. Do 
not expose the contacts to dust or water. If a smudge adheres to the 
contacts, contact failure may result.
 Multimedia cards (MMC) cannot be used (card error will be displayed).
