ABOUT THE BATTERY AND THE  
CARD  
About recharging  
Recharging takes place only when the camera is turned off, or when the  
power save function or the sleep function has been activated. Recharging  
does not take place when the camera is in the recording mode or playback  
mode.  
CAUTION  
Do not charge the battery pack immediately after the camera has been  
in continuous use for a long time  
i The battery pack becomes hot when the camera is used continuously for a  
long time. If you attempt to charge the battery pack in this state, the multi-  
indicator may flash red and it may not be possible to charge the battery  
pack. Wait until the battery pack has cooled down before attempting to  
charge it.  
Does the battery pack appear swollen?  
i The lithium-ion battery used in this camera may expand slightly when  
stored in a hot environment or repeatedly used, but this is not a safety  
hazard. However, a battery that is difficult to insert because it has become  
swollen may then be impossible to extract from the battery compartment.  
In this case, please discontinue its use and replace it with a new battery.  
Do not use the battery with the outer covering or label removed  
i Doing so may result in malfunction.  
HINT  
About the internal backup battery  
i This camera’s internal battery serves to maintain the date and time  
settings, as well as the shooting settings. The backup battery will be fully  
charged when the battery pack is kept in the camera continuously for about  
2 days. In the fully charged state, the backup battery will maintain the  
camera settings for about 7 days.  
When not using the camera for a long time, remove the battery pack  
i A small amount of power is still used even if the camera is turned off, and it  
is therefore recommended that the battery pack be removed from the  
camera if it is not going to be used for a long time. Note that when the  
battery pack is removed for a long period, the time and date settings may  
be cleared. Before using your camera again, be sure to confirm that the  
camera settings are correct.  
English

HINT  
Recharging when connected to the USB terminal  
i The battery can be recharged while the camera is connected to a  
computer.  
i Note, however, that the time it takes to recharge will differ depending on  
the camera’s operating condition.  
i Connect the dedicated USB interface cable to the USB connector on your  
computer. Do not connect it to the USB connector on the monitor or the  
keyboard, or to the USB hub.  
i If the camera is not going to be used for an extended period of time, please  
disconnect the dedicated USB interface cable from the camera.  
About the temperature alert icon \  
During camera use, if the temperature of the battery or inside the camera  
(excluding the battery) rises, a temperature alert icon \will appear as  
described below.  
k When the battery or internal camera (excluding battery) temperature  
rises during use  
h During camera use, if the temperature of the battery or inside the  
camera (excluding the battery) rises, a \icon lights on the monitor. It  
is still possible to record and play back even when the \icon is lit;  
however it is advised that you discontinue use as soon as possible and  
turn the camera off.  
h If the temperature rises further, the \icon will start to flash, and the  
camera will turn off automatically.  
The camera cannot be turned on until the temperature has dropped (or  
as long as the \icon remains flashing). Please wait until the  
temperature has dropped before resuming use.  
h During video recording, a countdown indicator will show the time  
starting about 15 seconds before shutdown. When the indicator shows  
0 seconds, recording stops.  
h If the camera is turned off while the temperature is high (that is, while  
the \icon is flashing), it cannot be turned on again until the  
temperature has dropped (or as long as the \icon remains flashing).
