Precautions

Camera Body Temperature If your camera is used for prolonged periods, the camera body may become warm. Please be aware of this and take care when operating the camera for an extended period. About the LCD monitor The LCD monitor is produced with extremely high-precision manufacturing techniques. With more than 99.99% of the pixels operating to specifications, less than 0.01% of the pixels may occasionally misfire or appear as black, red or green dots. This has no effect on the recorded image and does not constitute a malfunction. Notice: Please ensure that you read and follow the handling and safety precautions on pages 5 to 9 of this guide before attempting to use the camera. Video Format Please set the cameras video signal format to the one used in your region before using it with a TV monitor (p. 82). Language Setting Please see page 83 to change the language setting.
Charging the Date/Time Battery The camera has a built-in rechargeable lithium battery that maintains the date, time and other camera settings. This battery recharges when the main battery pack is inserted into the camera. When you first purchase the camera, place a charged battery pack in it or use the AC adapter kit (sold separately) for at least 4 hours to charge the date / time battery. It will charge even when the camera power is set to Off.
If the Set Date/Time menu appears when the camera power is turned on, it means that the date/time battery charge is depleted. Recharge it as described above.

Charging the Battery Pack
Recharge the battery pack with battery charger CB-2LS or CB-2LSE the first time you use the camera or when the Change the battery pack message is displayed. Battery charger model names and types vary by region.

CB-2LS

Charging Indicator

CB-2LSE

Insert the battery pack all the way into the battery charger and plug the charger into an electrical outlet. The charging indicator will glow orange while the battery pack is charging. It will change to a steady green when the charge is complete. After charging, unplug the battery charger and remove the battery pack from it.

Since this is a lithium ion battery pack, you need not completely use or discharge it before recharging. It takes approximately 130 minutes to fully charge the battery pack from a fully discharged state (based on standard Canon testing conditions). Please charge it at an ambient temperate ranging between 5 and 40 C (41 and 104 F). Charge times may vary according to the ambient temperature and the charge state of the battery pack. To protect and prolong the life of the battery pack, do not charge it for longer than 24 hours at a time.

Handling Precautions

Do not rapidly overturn or wave the battery charger around when the battery pack is in it. There is a danger of the battery pack flying out. At low temperatures, the battery pack performance may be reduced and the low battery icon may appear earlier than usual. Under these conditions, resuscitate the battery pack by warming it in a pocket immediately before use. However, ensure that there are no metallic items in the pocket that could cause the battery pack to short circuit, such as key holders, etc. Do not place anything, such as tablecloths, carpets, bedding or cushions, on top of the battery charger while it is charging. Heat will build up and could result in a fire. Do not charge batteries other than Battery Pack NB-1L in this charger. The battery pack continues to discharge a minimal portion of its power while installed in the camera, even with the camera power off or inserted into the battery charger. This will shorten battery life. To conserve the battery pack, store it in its case in a cool, dry place. Recharge it fully before using it again. If the performance of the battery pack diminishes substantially even when it is fully charged, the battery pack should be replaced.

Notes: This list includes camera models, which can be used with the Swarovski Optik DCB adapter. Swarovski Optik doesn't assume liability or responsibility for pictures taken with the above mentioned camera models. List is subject to alterations.

In case you use a camera not listed yet, please inform us about manufacturer, brand and type. (info@swarovskioptik.at,subject: Digiscoping)
In case you plan to purchase a digital camera for use with a telescope ("digiscoping"), which is not list yet, please test the camera with the scope and the adapter first! The camera needs to be connected to the DCB and must be able to prevent "vignetting" (black shadows at the edge of the image) by using the optical zoom (not the digital zoom!) of the camera.
