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.
