For details on charging time and the number of shots and recording

time possible with a fully charged battery pack, see “Number of

Shots/Recording Time, Playback Time” (

=

257

).

Charged battery packs gradually lose their charge, even when they

are not used. Charge the battery pack on (or immediately before)

the day of use.

The charger can be used in areas with 100 – 240 V AC power

(50/60 Hz). For power outlets in a different format, use a

commercially available adapter for the plug. Never use an electrical

transformer designed for traveling, which may damage the battery

pack.

Inserting the Battery Pack and Memory

Card

Insert the included battery pack and a memory card (sold

separately).

Note that before using a new memory card (or a memory card

formatted in another device), you should format the memory card with

this camera (
