							16Quick Start Basics
Note that the battery of a newly purchased camera is not charged. Perform the steps 
under “To charge the battery” to bring the battery to a full charge.
• Your camera requires a special CASIO rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-40) for 
power. Never try to use any other type of battery.
1.Aligning the positive +
 and 
negative -
 terminals of the 
battery with those of the charger 
unit, load the battery into the 
charger unit.
2.Plug the charger unit into a 
household power outlet.
About 150 minutes are required to 
reach full charge. The [CHARGE] 
lamp will go out when charging is 
complete. Unplug the power cord 
from the power outlet and then 
remove the battery from the charger.
First, charge the battery prior to use.

Other Charging Precautions
• Use the special charger (BC-31L) to charge the special lithium ion battery (NP-40). 
Never use any other type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger 
can result in unexpected accident.
• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery 
time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of 
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to 
use it.
• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. 
If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or 
radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

Checking Remaining Battery Power
As battery power is consumed, a battery indicator on the monitor screen indicates 
remaining power as shown below.

Recording is not possible when   is indicated. Charge the battery immediately.
• The level shown by the battery indicator may change when you switch between the 
REC mode and PLAY mode.
• Leaving the camera for about one day with no power supplied while the battery is 
dead will cause its date and time settings to be cleared. A message telling you to 
configure time and date settings will appear the next time you turn on the camera 
after restoring power. When this happens, configure date and time settings (page 
153).
• See page 189 for information about battery life and memory capacity.
Battery Power Conservation Tips
• When you do not need to use the flash, select ? (flash off) for the flash setting 
(page 45).
• Enable the Auto Power Off and the Sleep features to protect against wasting 
battery power when you forget to turn off the camera (pages 155, 155).
