IMPORTANT
- To protect the battery pack and keep it in optimal condition, do not charge it continuously for more than 24 hours.
- When charging another battery pack, always disconnect the interface cable from the camera before replacing the battery pack for charging.
NOTE
- For details on charging time and the number of shots andrecording time possible with a fully charged battery pack, please refer to [Estimated number of shots / recording time and playback time per battery (PowerShot SX730 HS)].
- You can view images even while the battery is charging, by turning the camera on and entering Playback mode. However, you cannot shoot while the battery is charging.
- If the USB charge lamp is not lit, reconnect the interface cable.
- Charged battery packs gradually lose their charge, even when they are not used. Charge the battery pack 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 pack.
- Using a Computer to Charge the Battery
You can also charge the battery pack by inserting the larger plug of the interface cable into a computer's USB terminal in step 5. For details about USB connections on the computer, refer to the computer user manual.
We recommend using Interface Cable IFC-600PCU (sold separately).
- Charging now begins, and the indicator on the back of the camera blinks in green. Charging will be finished in about four hours.
- However, charging may take longer if you import images on the camera to the computer, as described in "Saving Images to a Computer".
- The indicator continues to blink in green even after charging is finished, as long as the camera is connected to the computer.
IMPORTANT
- Charging stops and the indicator goes off if, after you begin charging as described above, you press the power button to turn the camera off.
- With some computers, battery charging may require the memory card to be in the camera. Insert the memory card in the camera before connecting the cable to the computer's USB port.
