Getting started
Charging the Nickel-Metal
Hydride batteries
If the poles of the Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries are dirty, the batteries may not
charge properly. Occasionally clean the poles
of the batteries and the terminals of the
charger by wiping them with a dry cloth.
At the time of purchase, or when the Nickel-
Metal Hydride batteries haven’t been used for
a long time, they may not fully charge. This is
typical of this type of battery, and is not a
malfunction. If this happens, repeatedly using
up the battery fully, and then recharging it,
should correct the problem.
Even when Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries
are not being used they loose their charge
naturally over time. It is recommended that
you recharge the batteries just before using
them.
If you recharge Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries before fully using up the existing
charge, the so-called memory effect* can
occur, and the low battery warning will be
triggered sooner than expected. Charging the
battery after fully depleting the existing
charge should correct the problem.
*The “memory effect” – the situation in
which a battery temporarily accepts a less
than full charge.
To use up the batteries completely, put
the camera in the slide show mode and
leave it that way until the batteries are
used up (page 67).
Precautions to be observed
when charging the batteries
Do not charge any other batteries except Sony
Nickel-Metal Hydride batteries in the charger
supplied with your camera. If you try to
charge any other type of battery (e.g.,
manganese batteries, alkaline dry cells, or
one-time lithium batteries) than the batteries
specified, those batteries may leak, overheat,
or explode, causing the danger of burns or
other injuries.
Be sure to charge both Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries at the same time.
When the batteries are charged, use them only
in an environment where the temperature
range is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
Otherwise, there is a danger of leaks,
explosions, excessive heat, fire, or electric
shock.
Do not charge fully charged Nickel Metal
Hydride batteries again. Otherwise, there is a
danger of leaks, explosions, excessive heat,
fire, or electric shock.
Do not peel off the external seals or damage
the batteries. Never use batteries from which
the seals have been partially or completely
removed, or batteries that have been split in
any way.
If you charge high-capacity batteries other
than the supplied Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries, using the supplied BC-CS1 charger,
they might not be charged to the extent the
display indicators.
Charging time
This represents the time required to charge
fully depleted Nickel-Metal Hydride
batteries using the supplied BC-CS1
charger in an environment where the
ambient temperature is 25°C (77°F).
Charging is complete in approximately 13
hours. The charge lamp may remain lit longer
than 13 hours, but this is not a malfunction.
Do not disconnect the battery charger’s power
cord (mains lead) or remove the batteries
from the charger before the batteries are fully
charged. If the charging process is interrupted
before the batteries are fully charged, and
then the same batteries are charged for the full
13 hours, this may cause the “memory effect”
to occur, or may cause deterioration in the
performance of the batteries.
If you use the ACC-CSNQ STAMINA “Super
Quick charge” kit (not supplied), the batteries
will charge faster.
