BNotes on Charging with Connection to a Computer

Connecting to Televisions, Computers and Printers

•The battery cannot be charged, nor can data be transferred, when the camera is connected to a computer before the camera’s date and time have been set (A 22). If the camera’s clock battery (A 142) has been exhausted, the date and time must be reset before the battery can be charged

or images can be transferred with connection to a computer. In this case, use the Charging AC Adapter EH-68P (A 18) to charge the battery and then set the camera’s date and time.

•If the camera is turned off, charging will also stop.

•If a computer enters sleep mode while charging, charging will stop and the camera may be turned off.

•When disconnecting the camera from a computer, turn the camera off and then disconnect the USB cable.

•It may take longer to charge the battery with connection to a computer than with charging using the Charging AC Adapter EH-68P. Charging time increases when images are transferred while the battery is charging.

•When the camera is connected to a computer, an application installed on the computer, such as Nikon Transfer, may start. If the camera was connected to the computer for the sole purpose of charging the battery, exit the application.

•The camera turns off automatically if there is no communication with the computer for 30 minutes after the battery has finished charging.

•Depending upon computer specifications, settings, and power supply and allocation, it may be

impossible to charge the battery inserted into the camera via computer connection.
