this camera, make sure to format it with this camera. Insert the memory card into the 
camera, press the  d button, and select  Format card in the setup menu ( A64).

Preparing for Shooting
1With the battery installed, connect the camera to an 
electrical outlet.
If a plug adapter* is included with your camera, securely connect it to the 
Charging AC Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly 
remove the plug adapter 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.
• The charge lamp slowly flashes green to indicate that the battery is charging.
• When charging is complete, the charge lamp turns off. It takes about 2 hours 
40 minutes to charge a fully exhausted battery.
• The battery cannot be charged when the charge lamp quickly flashes green, 
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.
2Disconnect the Charging AC Adapter from the electrical 
outlet and then disconnect the USB cable.
