Charging the Battery

Charge the supplied EN‑EL15c rechargeable Li-ion battery before use. The battery can be charged while inserted in the camera by connecting the camera to an optional EH-8P AC adapter using the supplied USB cable.

Cautions: Using Batteries

Read and follow the warnings and cautions in “For Your Safety” (0 For Your Safety) and “Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions” (0 Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions).

  1. Insert the battery (0 Inserting the Battery).

  2. After confirming that the camera is off, connect it to an optional EH-8P AC adapter using the supplied USB cable (q).

    Plug the AC adapter into a household power outlet. The battery will charge while the camera is off. Keep the plug straight during insertion and removal.
