When the temperature gets back within the appropriate range, the charging resumes. We recommend charging the battery pack in an ambient temperature of between 10 C and 30 C

(50 F and 86 F). The charge lamp may flash quickly when the battery pack is used for the first time, or the battery pack has not been used for a long time. In such cases, remove the battery pack and re-insert it, and then charge the battery pack. Do not try to charge the battery pack again right after it has been charged, or when it has not been used after being charged. Doing so will affect the performance of the battery pack. When charging is finished, disconnect the AC Adaptor from the wall outlet (wall socket). Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs, micro USB cable (supplied) and AC Adaptor (supplied). x Charging time The charging time is approximately 280 min. using the AC Adaptor

(supplied). Notes The above charging time applies when charging a fully depleted battery pack at a temperature of 25 C (77 F).

Notes Note the following points when charging via a computer:

If the camera is connected to a laptop computer that is not connected to a power source, the laptop battery level decreases. Do not leave the camera connected to a computer for an extended period of time. Do not turn on/off or restart the computer, or wake the computer to resume from sleep mode when a USB connection has been established between the computer and the camera. The camera may cause a malfunction. Before turning on/off, or restarting the computer or waking the computer from sleep mode, disconnect the camera from the computer. We do not guarantee operation with all computers. No guarantees are made for charging using a custom-built computer, a modified computer, or charging via a USB hub. You may not be able to operate the camera properly, depending on the types of USB devices you are using at the same time. z Using your camera abroad Power source You can use your camera and AC Adaptor in any countries/regions where the power supply is within 100 V to 240 V AC, 50 Hz/60 Hz.

Lens release button Notes If dust or debris gets inside the camera while you are changing the lens and adheres to the surface of the image sensor (the part that converts the light source to a digital signal), it may appear as dark spots on the image, depending on the shooting environment. The camera vibrates slightly when it is turned off, due to the anti-dust function, to prevent dust from adhering to the image sensor. However, attach or remove the lens quickly somewhere away from dusty locations. Do not leave the camera with the lens removed. When you want to use body caps or rear lens caps, please purchase ALC-B1EM
