On the internal rechargeable
backup battery

This camera has an internal rechargeable battery
for maintaining the date and time and other
settings regardless of whether the power is on or
off.
This rechargeable battery is continually charged
as long as you are using the camera. However, if
you use the camera for only short periods, it
discharges gradually, and if you do not use the
camera at all for about one month it becomes
completely discharged. In this case, be sure to
charge this rechargeable battery before using the
camera.
However, even if this rechargeable battery is not
charged, you can still use the camera as long as
you do not record the date and time.

Charging method of the internal
rechargeable backup battery

Insert batteries with enough capacity in the
camera, or connect the camera to a wall outlet
(wall socket) using the AC Adaptor (not
supplied), and leave the camera for 24 hours or
more with the power off.
