Charging While Connecting to a Computer

When the Charge by computer option (A161) in the camera’s setup menu is set to Auto (default setting), if the camera is connected to a computer using the USB cable, the battery inserted into the camera can be automatically charged depending on the ability of the computer to supply power.

See “Before Connecting the Camera” (A134) and “Transferring Images from a Camera to a Computer” (A135) for more information on connecting the camera to a computer.

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 display language and date and time have been set (A22). If the camera’s clock battery (A150) 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-69P (A18) 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-69P. 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 2, 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.
