D Caution: The Charging AC Adapter
If the battery cannot be charged using the charging AC adapter, for example because the battery is
not compatible or the temperature of the camera is elevated, the charge lamp will flash rapidly for
about 30 seconds and then turn off. If the charge lamp is off and you did not observe the battery
charging, turn the camera on and check the battery level.

charged.

If [ON] is selected for [USB power delivery] in the setup menu, the charging AC adapter will supply
power to the camera when the camera is on.
The battery will not charge while the camera is powered by an outside power source.
