Nikon Capture 4 Does Not Start

5).

Check the power switch and mode dial
• Is the camera on?
• Is the battery fully charged? To reduce the drain on the battery, we recommend that
the camera be powered by an adapter (available separately) when connected to the
com put er.
• If you are using an AC adapter, is it properly connected and plugged in?
• Is the mode dial set to PC (D1-series only)?
• Is the function dial set to P, S, A, or M (D100 only)?
• Is the correct option selected in the USB menu (D2 series, D200, D100, D70s, D70, and
D50 only)? Select PTP when connecting a D2-series, D200, D70s, D70, or D50 camera
to a computer running Nikon Capture 4 Camera Control. Select Mass Storage when
connecting the D100 to a computer running Windows 2000 Professional, Win dows Mil-
lennium Edition (Me), or Windows 98 Second Edition (SE). When connecting the D100
to a Macintosh computer, select PTP.

Verify that the interface cable is properly connected
• Is the interface cable securely connected to both camera and computer?
Remember that IEEE 1394 connectors do not make a “click” when fully inserted. If the
cable is securely connected, try disconnecting the cable and reconnecting the devices
in a different order.
• Is there another peripheral connected to the IEEE 1394 bus?
Try disconnecting other IEEE 1394 devices and connecting just the computer and the
camera.

Are you using a recommended IEEE 1394 interface (D1-series cameras only)?
See “System Requirements” ( 5). For information on your IEEE 1394 in ter face, see the
manufacturer’s web-site.
