The charging indicator will flash orange while refreshing the battery pack.

• Be careful not to press the refresh button a second time during the refresh cycle. If this button is mistakenly pressed, the charging indicator will change to a flashing green and begin to charge the battery pack.

4.

Once the refresh cycle is complete, the charging indicator will cease to flash orange. It will commence flashing green and start to charge the battery pack.

Leave it in this state until the charging indicator shines steady green to indicate that charging is complete.

• Compact Power Adapter CA-PS200 will not refresh the battery pack while the

DC Coupler DR-200 is connect. Ensure that the DC coupler is not connected before attempting to refresh the battery pack.

• Repeatedly charging the battery pack before it is fully discharged will lower the battery capacity. Restore its capacity by running it through the refresh cycle.

• Battery packs that have been unused for periods over one year may initially have a diminished capacity even when fully charged. Restore the capacity by running it through the refresh cycle.

27

Using an AC Power Source

It is convenient to power the camera with the

DC coupler and compact power adapter connected to an AC power source when operating indoors. This is particularly recommended when the camera is connected to a computer and exchanging files, a relatively power-intensive process.

• The compact power adapter cannot charge the battery pack while it is being used as an AC power source.

• Unplug the compact power adapter from the electrical outlet after use.

• The compact power adapter can only be used as an AC power source for products specified for use with Battery

Pack NB-4H.

After the reset, the first new image is assigned the number one.

• Standard File Number Assignment

Method

The camera records the number of the last image that was recorded. When an image is next shot, it adds one to the previous number to create the new file number. However, if there are images already on the CF card that have higher file numbers, the camera adds one to the highest number on the CF card to avoid duplication. This means that a particular camera will not create two images with the same file number. As a result, the file numbers on a particular

CF card may not be consecutive if other cards have been used in between recording sessions with that card.
