To charge using a USB connection to a computer (Charging time: Approximately 4 hours 20 minutes)- USB data communication may not be possible during charging, depending on the certain computer model
being used or connection conditions.

capacity of a computer's USB port, contact the manufacturer of the computer.

NOTE
- A battery that has not been used for a long time, or ambient temperature extremes can
cause charging to take longer than normal.
- If charging takes longer than about six hours,
a timer will terminate it automatically, even if the battery is not fully charged. This is
indicated by the back lamp flashing red. If the battery has not been used for a very long
time, charging may be terminated automatically and the back lamp may start flashing red
after only about 45 minutes. In either case, disconnect the USB cable from the camera
and then reconnect it to resume charging.
