Charging While Connecting to a Computer

When connecting the camera to a computer via the supplied USB cable while

Auto (default setting) is selected for the Charge by computer option (A 131) in

the setup menu, the battery inserted into the camera is automatically charged

using power supplied by the computer.

See “Before Connecting the Camera” (

80) and “Transferring Pictures from the Camera

to a Computer” (

81) for more information on connecting the camera to a computer.

The following chart explains charge lamp status when the camera is connected to a computer.

B Notes on 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 date and time have been set (A 20). If the camera’s clock battery

(A 121) 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 16) 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. 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.
