Charge the Battery

A light on the camera or charger should tell you the status of the battery charging procedure.
When charging the battery, either in a separate charger or inside the camera, you must make sure you load the battery properly. Follow the directions on the charger, on the camera, or in the user guide or Quick Start Guide.

If you're using a battery charger, you should just connect the included electrical cord to the charger, insert the battery, and plug the charger into the wall outlet. If charging the battery inside the camera, you may have to connect the electrical cord to a port on the camera, such as a USB port.

Check the user guide for information specific to your camera.

When you start the charging process, you should see a light indicating that the unit is receiving power. While the battery is charging, the light often is a red, yellow, or orange color, depending on the model of camera. When the battery is fully charged, the light may change to a green or blue color, or it may shut off completely.
