Notes on Power Source
• When connecting the camera to a computer or printer, use batteries with adequate charge
remaining to prevent the camera from turning off unexpectedly.
• To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an AC Adapter EH-65A (available
separately from Nikon) ( A 118). 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.
