Other Charging Precautions
• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s 
battery (NP-130) without removing it from the camera. You also can charge the 
battery using an optionally available charger unit (BC-130L). Never use any other 
type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in 
unexpected accident.
• This model can be charged only via from USB 2.0 specification USB port only.
• USB charging devices and power supply devices are subject to fixed standards. 
Use of an inferior device or a device that is not up to standard can cause 
malfunction and/or failure of your camera.
• Operation is not guaranteed in the case of a computer built or modified by you. 
Even in the case of a commercially available computer, certain USB port 
specifications may make it impossible to charge via the USB cable.
• A battery that is still warm immediately after normal use may not charge fully. Give 
the battery time to cool before charging it.
• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of 
this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to 
use it.
• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception. 
If this happens, plug the USB-AC adaptor into an outlet that is further away from 
the TV or radio.
• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.
• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.
• Never use the power cord with another device.
