    RECHARGING THE BATTERY PACK 
    Be sure to fully charge the supplied or separately sold battery pack before
    using it in your camera. For charging the battery pack, use the supplied
    charger. 
    Charge the battery pack if it is being used for the first time, and recharge it
    whenever the remaining charge is low (see “CHECKING THE REMAINING
    BATTERY PACK CHARGE” on page 138). 
    iDuring recharging, the charger and battery pack will be warm. This is nor-
    mal and does not indicate a malfunction. 
    If there is interference to your TV or radio during recharging... 
    iMove the battery pack and charger further away from the TV or radio. 
    Ambient temperature during recharging 
    iIt is recommended that the ambient temperature during recharging be
    between about 10°C and 35°C (50°F and 95°F). Due to the characteristics
    of the battery pack, at temperatures below 10°C (50°F), it may not be pos-
    sible to sufficiently recharge it. 
    Recharge a battery pack in the following cases 
    iA battery pack which has not been used for a long time

    CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK
    About the CHARGE indicator 
    The CHARGE indicator shows the sta-
    tus of the battery pack and the charger.
    Please refer to the following table if the
    indicator flashes abnormally. 
    About the internal backup batteryiThis camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time set-
    tings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully
    charged when the batteries are kept in the camera continuously for about 2
    days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the cam-
    era settings for about 7 days.
    When not using the camera for a long time, remove the batteriesiA small amount of power is still used even if the digital camera is turned off,
    and it is therefore recommended that the batteries be removed from the
    camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the bat-
    teries are removed for a long period, the time and date settings may be
    cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the cam-
    era settings are correct. CHARGE indicator
    Not lit Not connected properly
    iTo recharge the battery pack, the power cord of the
    charger must be connected to a power outlet, and the
    plug at one end inserted in the charger’s power socket
    (see page 29).
    iThe battery pack is not installed, or it is not installed cor-
    rectly (see page 29).
