camera’s clock battery (A149) 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-68P (
A16) to charge the battery and then set the camera’s date and time. •If the camera is turned off by opening and closing the slide cover, charging will also stop.
•If a computer enters sleep mode while charging, charging will stop and the camera may be turned off.
•When disconnecting the camera from a computer, turn the camera off by opening and closing the

•About 3 hours are required to charge a fully exhausted battery. Charging time increases when 
images are transferred while the battery is charging.

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 inserted into the camera via computer connection.
