Charging Information
• It’s normal for the battery and the
camera to be warm following normal
use and charging. This is not a
malfunction.
• Use the supplied cradle or AC adaptor
for this unit.
• Pull the plug out of the electrical outlet
after completing the charge.
• Do not disassemble or alter the cradle
or AC adaptor.
_Battery indicator
The remaining battery power is displayed
on the LCD monitor in use.
The indication is changed as follows
##(blinking)
according to the consumption of the
battery.
When the indicator is shown as
(blinking), the battery will be
exhausted in a few minutes. Charge the
battery.
_Charging time and available
recording time
(Recording condition)
• Shooting once every 30 seconds, flash
every other shot
• Temperature 77°F (25°C)/Humidity
60%
• Using the supplied battery and the SD
Memory Card
The times shown above may vary
depending on the condition.
_Charging environment and
charging error
• Charge the battery in a place with the
temperature 50 - 95°F (10 - 35°C).
(The battery should also be the same
temperature)
• The charge Lamp blinks while
charging. (Blinks approx. every 2
seconds when charging is normal.)
When the charge Lamp blinks more
quickly or slowly (or turns off), some
abnormality may have occurred. The
blinking speed suggests the following
states.
Blinking approx. every 6 seconds:
•The ambient temperature or that of
the battery itself is too high or too
low. Charging proceeds, but will take
a longer time.
Blinking approx. every 0.5 seconds:
Refer to P70.
Turning off:
Charging is completed.
•If the charge Lamp turns off when
charging is not completed, the AC
Adaptor or the battery is probably
defective. Contact your nearest
Panasonic dealer.
• For details, refer to P69.
