Now we have the camera with a common set up mode we
can begin to look at the basics of charging and installing the
battery and choosing a suitable memory card for use in the
camera.
Batteries and Charging Units
The camera is supplied with the Panasonic battery however
it is also possible to use third party batteries.
Some generic brands do not perform as well as the
Panasonic battery but the DSTE types can actually
outperform the Panasonic one and are entirely safe to use.
The battery should be fully charged using the supplied
Panasonic charger.
Charging will take up to 2 hours depending upon how
depleted the battery is when it is inserted into the charger.
It is advisable to charge the battery only when it is cold, not
when removed from the camera when it might be still warm.
This ensures that you will get a full and not a partial charge.
Charging is complete when the green LED goes out.
Remove the battery from the charger at this point.
