the battery charger.
•Do not use the provided Battery Charger D-BC109 to charge batteries other 
than rechargeable lithium-ion battery D-LI109. Charging other batteries may 
cause damage or heating.
• If the battery is correctly oriented and inserted into the battery charger but the 
indicator lamp is not lit, the battery is faulty. Use a new battery in the camera.
• The maximum charging time is approximately 240 minutes (it depends on 
temperature and remaining battery power). Charge in a location where the 
temperature is between 0°C and 40°C.
• If battery usage time is reduced even when properly charged, the battery has 
reached the end of its life. Use a new battery in the camera.
