Computer Charging
A computer can not be used to charge the camera or
download data from camera memory until the initial language
selection has been completed and the camera clock is set
(
A
3). Use the charging AC adapter (
A
2) when charging
the camera for the first time after purchase or if the camera
clock has been re-initialized. Note that depending on their
specifications or settings, some computers may fail to supply
power to the camera even after the language and clock are set.
The camera will not charge while off and may not charge while
the computer is in sleep mode. While the computer is in sleep
mode, the camera will continue run on battery power until
turned off.
Turn the camera off before connecting or disconnecting the
USB cable.
About three hours and 10 minutes are required to charge the
battery by computer when no charge remains. Copying
pictures to the computer increases the charging time; if you do
not intend to transfer images, close Nikon Transfer 2 and any
other image transfer software to reduce charging times. Once
the battery is fully charged, the camera will turn off
automatically if no data are exchanged with the computer for
30 minutes.
The power-on lamp
shows camera status as follows:
•
Slow orange flash
: Camera charging
•
Off
: Charging not in progress or charging complete
•
Rapid orange flash
: Charging error. Ensure that the ambient
temperature is in the correct range (5 °C–35 °C/41 °F–95 °F),
the USB cable is correctly connected, and that the computer
is not in sleep mode and is configured to supply power to the
camera (note that depending on their specifications, some
computers may be unable to supply power to the camera).
