Charge by Computer
Select whether or not the battery inserted in the camera is charged when the camera is
connected to a computer via the USB cable (A86).
B Notes About 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 display language and date and time have been set (A20). If the
camera’s clock battery (A22) 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-70P (A16) to charge the battery and then set the camera’s date
and time.
If the camera is turned off, charging will also stop.
If the computer enters sleep mode while charging, charging will stop and the camera may turn off.
When disconnecting the camera from the computer, turn the camera off and then disconnect the
USB cable.
About 3 hours and 15 minutes are required to charge a fully exhausted battery. 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 2, 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 using a computer connection while it is inserted into the camera.
