Charging the battery with the  
included USB-AC adapter  
The battery is not fully charged at shipment. Before  
use, be sure to charge the battery until the indicator  
lamp turns off (up to 3.5 hours).  
The included F-2AC USB-AC adapter (hereafter  
referred to as USB-AC adapter) differs depending  
on the region where you purchased the camera. If  
you received a plug-in type USB-AC adapter, plug it  
directly into AC outlet.  
If the indicator lamp does not light, the USB-AC  
adapter is not connected to the camera correctly,  
or the battery, camera, or USB-AC adapter may be  
broken.  
The included USB-AC adapter has been designed  
to be used for charging and playback. Do not take  
pictures while the AC adapter is connected to the  
camera.  
For details on the battery and the USB-AC adapter,  
see “Battery and USB-AC adapter” (p. 66).  
When charging completes, be sure to unplug the  
USB-AC adopter from the outlet.  
The battery can be charged while the camera is  
connected to the computer. Charging time varies  
depending on the performance of a computer. (There  
may be cases in which it takes approx. 10 hours.)

With prolonged camera use, the internal  
temperature may increase, resulting in automatic  
shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery from  
the camera and wait until the camera has sufciently  
cooled. The camera’s external temperature may  
also increase during use, however this is normal and  
does not indicate malfunction.
