B Notes on Power Source
• When connecting the camera to a computer or printer, use a fully-charged battery to prevent the
camera from turning off unexpectedly.
• To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an AC Adapter EH-62A (available
separately from Nikon) (A 136). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model
of AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the
camera.
