Charging the Battery
• The time required for full charge is about 180 minutes maximum.
The appropriate ambient temperature range for charging the battery
is 0°C-40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• The charging time may vary depending on the ambient temperature
and charging conditions.
• When the battery reaches the end of its service life, the time that the
camera can be operated becomes shorter even when the battery is
fully charged. In this event, replace the battery.
• Always charge the battery after purchasing or when it has not been
used for a long time.
• Use the Battery charger D-BC7 to charge the rechargeable Lithium-
ion battery D-LI7 only as the charger may overheat or be damaged.
• If the battery is inserted correctly but the charging indicator fails to
light, the battery may be faulty. Replace with a new battery.
