Notes on Power Source
• When connecting the camera to a computer to transfer images, 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 in the setup menu, the battery inserted into
the camera is automatically charged using power supplied by the computer ( A 150, 174).
• If the AC Adapter EH-62F ( A 183) (available separately) is used, COOLPIX S8100 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.
