LCD Panel

The liquid crystal panel of the monitor screen uses high-precision technology that

provides a pixel yield in excess of 99.99%. This means that some very small number

of pixels may not light or may remain lit at all times. This is due to the characteristics

of the liquid crystal panel, and does not indicate malfunction.

Take a few test shots

Before shooting your final image, shoot a test shot to ensure that the camera is

recording correctly.

Back Lamp Operation

• The information in parentheses in the above table shows the lamp status while

the camera is turned on during charging.

3. After charging is complete, disconnect the USB cable from the camera

and then from the computer.

IMPORTANT!

• Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.

• A charging error can occur immediately after charging begins or some time after

charging begins. A charging error is indicated by the back lamp flashing red.

Other Charging Precautions

• With the two charging methods described above, you can charge the camera’s

battery (NP-120) without removing it from the camera. You also can charge the

battery using an optionally available charger unit (BC-120L). Never use any other

type of charger device. Attempting to use a different charger can result in

unexpected accident.

• USB charging devices and power supply devices are subject to fixed standards.

Use of an inferior device or a device that is not up to standard can cause

malfunction and/or failure of your camera.

• Operation is not guaranteed in the case of a computer built or modified by you.

Even in the case of a commercially available computer, certain USB port

specifications may make it impossible to charge via the USB cable.

• A battery that is still warm due to normal use may not charge fully. Give the battery

time to cool before charging it.

• A battery discharges slightly even when it is not loaded in the camera. Because of

this, it is recommended that you charge the battery immediately before you need to

use it.

• Charging the camera’s battery may cause interference with TV and radio reception.

If this happens, plug the charger into an outlet that is further away from the TV or

radio.

• Actual charging time depends on current battery capacity and charging conditions.

• Do not use the USB-AC adaptor with any other device.
