Using the AC Adaptor

Use the camera connected to a wall outlet (wall socket) as illustrated above.

• Connect the AC Adaptor to an easily accessible wall outlet (wall socket). If any trouble occurs, immediately 

disconnect the plug from the wall outlet (wall socket).

• After use, disconnect the AC Adaptor both from the camera and from the wall outlet (wall socket).

• This set is not disconnected from the AC power source (mains) as long as it is connected to the wall outlet 

(wall socket) even if the set itself has been turned off.

• Do not use the AC Adaptor placed in a narrow space, such as between a wall and furniture.

To check the remaining battery time

Press POWER to turn on and check the time on the LCD screen.

To remove the battery pack

Open the cover and slide the battery eject lever in the direction of the arrow. Be careful not to 
drop the battery pack.

To use your camera abroad — Power sources

You can use your camera and the AC Adaptor (supplied) in any country or region where the 
power supply is within 100 V to 240 V AC, 50/60 Hz. Use a commercially available AC plug 
adaptor [a], if necessary, depending on the design of the wall outlet (wall socket) [b].

• It takes about one minute until the correct battery remaining 

time appears.

• The displayed time remaining may not be correct under certain 

circumstances.

• Do not use an electronic transformer (travel converter), as this 

may cause a malfunction.
