BNotes on Power Source

•When connecting the camera to a computer, use a battery with a sufficient amount of charge remaining to prevent the camera from turning off unexpectedly.

•When the camera is connected to a computer via the supplied USB cable with Auto (default setting) selected for the Charge by computer option in the setup menu, the battery inserted into the camera is automatically charged using power supplied by the computer (A134, 156).

•If the AC Adapter EH-62F (A166) (available separately) is used, COOLPIX P300 can be powered from an electrical outlet. Do not use any other make or model of AC adapter as they may cause the camera to overheat or malfunction.
