BNotes About Connecting the Camera to a Printer

•The battery cannot be charged with connection to a printer, even if the printer complies with the PictBridge standard.

•When Auto is selected for Charge by computer, it may be impossible to print images with direct connection of the camera to some printers. If the PictBridge startup screen is not displayed in the monitor after the camera is connected to a printer and turned on, turn the camera off and disconnect the USB cable. Set Charge by computer to Off and reconnect the camera to the printer.

BNotes About Charging with Connection to a Computer

•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 (A24). If the camera’s clock battery (A25) 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 turn off.

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

•About 2 hours and 30 minutes are required to charge a fully exhausted battery. 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.
