B Note on Computer Connection
Disconnect other USB devices such as commercial USB chargers from the computer. Simultaneous

malfunction or excessive supply of power to the camera, causing damage to the camera or memory
card. Refer to the documentation supplied with other USB devices for more information.
B Notes 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 (A145, 168) in the setup menu, the battery
inserted into the camera is automatically charged using power supplied by the computer. Pictures
can be transferred while the battery is charging.
• If the AC Adapter EH-62A (available separately) is used, COOLPIX P100 can be powered from an
electrical outlet. Do not use any other make or model of AC adapter as they may cause the camera
to overheat or malfunction.
