depending on temperature and
circumstances of use.
•If you set the POWER/Function dial to
"CAMERA" or "PLAY,"charging is
suspended. To resume charging, set the
dial to "CAMERA (S»" then set it to
"OFF."
• If you use the camera with the AC
power adapter and the rechargeable

rechargeable lithium ion battery or
disconnect the AC power adapter.
BIf “CHARGE BATTERY“ is displayed

while using the camera, and the power is
turned off automatically, stop using the
rechargeable battery in the camera. Use
the AC power adapter instead or replace
the battery with the fully charged one.

soon becomes dead and the power is
turned off abruptly before the camera
shuts off normally. This may cause the
