You cannot charge the battery pack while your camera is turned on. Be sure to turn 
off your camera before charging. 
 
Battery remaining indicator 
The LCD screen on the camera shows the remaining time for which you can still 
record or play back images. 
This indication may not be entirely accurate depending on the conditions of use and 
the operating environment.
Auto power-off function 
If you do not operate the camera for about three minutes during recording, the 
camera turns off automatically to prevent wearing down the battery. To use the 
camera again, slide down the POWER switch to turn on the camera again.
