Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera ILCA-77M2

Charging the battery pack using a charger

When using the camera for the first time, be sure to charge the InfoLITHIUM NP-FM500H (supplied). The InfoLITHIUM battery pack can be charged even when it is not fully depleted. It can also be used when it is not fully charged. The charged battery pack discharges little by little even when it is not being used. To avoid missing a shooting opportunity, charge the battery pack again before shooting.

  1. Insert the battery pack into the battery charger.
    Push the battery pack lightly until it clicks.

  2. Connect the battery charger to the wall outlet (wall socket).

    • When charging a fully depleted battery pack at a temperature of 25°C (77°F).
    • The CHARGE lamp (A) turns off when charging is completed.

Note

  • The charging time differs depending on the remaining charge of the battery pack and on the charging conditions.
  • Be sure to use only genuine Sony brand battery packs.
  • We recommend charging the battery pack at an ambient temperature of between 10°C to 30°C (50°F to 86°F). You may not be able to efficiently charge the battery pack outside this temperature range.
  • Connect the battery charger to the nearest wall outlet (wall socket). If malfunctions occur while using the charger, disconnect the plug from the wall outlet (wall socket) immediately to disconnect from the power source.
  • Even when the CHARGE lamp of this battery charger is off, the power is not disconnected. If any trouble occurs while this unit is in use, unplug it from the wall outlet (wall socket) to disconnect the power.
  • When the camera is being used for the first time or when you use a battery pack that has not been used for a long time, the CHARGE lamp may flash quickly when the battery is charged for the first time. If this happens, remove the battery pack from the charger and then re-insert it to recharge.
  • Do not continuously or repeatedly charge the battery pack without using it if it is already fully charged or close to fully charged. Doing so may cause a deterioration in battery performance.
