Quick Start Basics
IMPORTANT!
The first time you connect the camera or controller to your computer with the USB
cable, an error message may appear on your computer. If this happens, disconnect
and then reconnect the USB cable.
A battery that has not been used for a long time, certain types of computers, and
connection conditions can cause charging to take more than approximately five
hours, which will trigger a timer that terminates charging automatically, even if the
battery is not fully charged. If this happens, disconnect and then reconnect the
USB cable to restart charging. To complete charging faster, use of the included
USB-AC adaptor is recommended.
If the battery has not been used for a very long time, charging of the controller may
stop after about 60 minutes or charging of the camera may stop after about
40 minutes. In both cases, the operation lamp will flash red. In either case, use of
the USB-AC adaptor that comes with the camera is recommended.
Turning on the camera or controller while it is being charged by a computer results
in one of the conditions described below. Though charging normally should
continue, certain types of computers or connection environments may stop
charging if supply power is low. This will be indicated by the camera’s operation
lamp lighting green.
Camera:
Charging continues, and a USB connection will be established between computer
and camera.
Controller:
Charging continues and the controller turns on.
Charging is not performed while the connected computer is in the hibernate mode.
