Aim

You should know how to charge the camera without guessing and be able to check the remaining power before leaving home.

Do this step by step

1. Find the exact battery model used by your camera.
2. Remove and reinsert it with the camera switched off.
3. Connect the correct charger and identify the charging indicator.
4. Once charged, switch the camera on and find the battery-level display.
5. Take ten photographs, review several of them and check the battery indicator again.
6. If you own a spare, label or organise it so you can tell charged and discharged batteries apart.
