BNotes on Power Source

•When connecting the camera to a computer to transfer pictures, use a fully charged battery 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 (A113, 136). Pictures can be transferred while the battery is charging.

•If the AC Adapter EH-62F (A145) (available separately) is used, COOLPIX S6000 can be powered from an electrical outlet. Do not use any other make or model of AC adapter as they may cause the

108camera to overheat or malfunction.
