B Notes About Charging with a Computer
• When connected to a computer, the camera turns on and starts charging. If the camera is
turned off, charging stops.
• About 5 hours and 30 minutes are required to charge a fully exhausted battery. Charging
time increases when images are transferred while the battery is charging.
• The camera turns off automatically if there is no communication with the computer for 30
minutes after the battery has finished charging.
B When the Power-on Lamp (Charge Lamp) Quickly Flashes
Charging cannot be performed, possibly due to one of the reasons described below.
• The ambient temperature is not suited to charging. Charge the battery indoors with an
ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
• The USB cable is not connected correctly or the battery is faulty. Make sure that the USB
cable is connected correctly or replace the battery if necessary.
• The computer is in sleep mode and is not supplying power. Wake up the computer.
