Basic Operations

This section will review many of the basic operations of the camera regardless of if you are using it for photography or video

Turning the Camera On/Off

The on/off switch can be found on the top right panel of the camera.

The most common way to make sure your camera is on is to check if the LCD panel is on:

If the LCD panel is off, it could be due to:
- the lens cap still being on the lens
- "Live View" is set to off
- as a back up, pressing the menu button should bring up the camera menu on the LCD panel, verifying that your camera is on.
If your camera is not turning on:
- Check that there is a battery in the battery compartment
- If there is a battery, it may not be charged

The Battery and Charging

with the lens facing away from you, the battery is located on the bottom right side of the camera. The camera can be charged without removing it, however if you did need to remove the battery:

turn the camera off
open the battery door.
depress the grey tab at the bottom of the battery to release it.
- this tab will also lock it in place when you insert a battery.

To charge the camera:

confirm the battery is in the camera and that it is off.
open the HDMI/USB port door found on the left side of the camera
Plug into the USB-C port using the provided cord
Plug the USB-A part of the cord into a computer or wall charger.
- A red indicator light will glow near the on/off button when charging, which can take up to 3 hours for a full charge.

SD Cards

The SD Card slot, with the camera lens facing away from you, can be found on the right hand side.
