Technical Notes

A computer can not be used to charge the camera or download data from camera memory until the initial language selection has been completed and the camera clock is set (A3). Use the charging AC adapter (A2) when charging the camera for the first time after purchase or if the camera clock has been re-initialized. Note that depending on their specifications or settings, some computers may fail to supply power to the camera even after the language and clock are set.

The camera will not charge while off and may not charge while the computer is in sleep mode. While the computer is in sleep mode, the camera will continue run on battery power until turned off.

Turn the camera off before connecting or disconnecting the USB cable.

About three hours and 10 minutes are required to charge the battery by computer when no charge remains. Copying pictures to the computer increases the charging time; if you do not intend to transfer images, close Nikon Transfer 2 and any other image transfer software to reduce charging times. Once the battery is fully charged, the camera will turn off automatically if no data are exchanged with the computer for 30 minutes.

The power-on lamp shows camera status as follows:

•Slow orange flash: Camera charging

•Off: Charging not in progress or charging complete

•Rapid orange flash: Charging error. Ensure that the ambient temperature is in the correct range (5 °C–35 °C/41 °F–95 °F), the USB cable is correctly connected, and that the computer is not in sleep mode and is configured to supply power to the camera (note that depending on their specifications, some computers may be unable to supply power to the camera).
