Quick Start Basics
• A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers,
and connection conditions can cause charging to take more than
approximately six hours, which will trigger a timer that terminates charging
automatically, even if the battery is not fully charged. If this happens,
disconnect and then reconnect the USB cable to restart charging. To complete
charging faster, use of the included USB-AC adaptor is recommended.
• If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging may terminate
automatically and the back lamp may start flashing red or go out after only
about 30 minutes to 45 minutes. In either case, use of the USB-AC adaptor that
comes with the camera is recommended.
• Note that even while the connector is fully inserted, you
still will be able to see the metal part of the connector as
shown in the illustration.
Back Lamp Operation
3. After charging is complete, disconnect the USB cable from the camera
and then from the computer.
NOTE
• Charging continues while a camera is connected to a computer’s USB port, even if
the camera is turned off. Under this condition, the back lamp operates as described
under “Back Lamp Operation” (page 18).
