Do not use force or attempt to insert the connectors at an angle.
• Turn on the computer before charging.
• The camera charge lamp (w) lights amber while charging is
in progress. The lamp turns o when charging is complete.
• A battery will fully charge in about 7 hours and 40 minutes
(when charging an exhausted battery at an input of 5 V/500
mA). Depending on the standard and type of USB connector
on the computer, the charging time may be shorter.
• When charging is complete, disconnect the USB cable. Be sure
to keep the connectors straight when disconnecting them.
• Computers will also supply current to power the battery when
connected via a UC-E25 USB cable (available separately).
D Notes when charging using the supplied USB cable
• If the battery cannot be charged using the supplied USB cable to
connect the camera and computer, for example because the battery
is not compatible or the temperature of the camera is elevated, the
charge lamp will ash rapidly for about 30 seconds and then turn o.
If the charge lamp is o and you did not observe the battery charging,
turn the camera on and check the battery level.
• When charging, do not use the connectors of a USB hub or keyboard.
Connect the camera and computer directly.
• If the computer goes into hibernation (sleep mode) while charging,
the camera stops charging. To continue charging, wake up the
computer from hibernation (sleep mode).
