• To protect the battery and keep it in optimal condition, do

not charge it continuously for more than 24 hours.

• For battery chargers that use a power cord, do not attach

the charger or cord to other objects. Doing so could result

in malfunction or damage to the product.

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

time possible with a fully charged battery, see Number of Shots/

Recording Time, Playback Time (=

320).

• Charged batteries gradually lose their charge, even when they are

not used. Charge the battery 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.
