Connecting your camera to a computer
The COOLPIX 990 is equipped with USB and serial ports.
Follow the steps below to connect your camera to an IBM-
compatible (PC) or Macintosh computer.
3 Turn the camera on. The borders of the shut-
ter-speed/aperture display in the control panel
will light up ( ).
At all times when the camera is connected to the computer by USB cable, or
while data are being transferred by serial connection to your compuer from
the camera, the borders of the shutter-speed/aperture display in the control
panel will flash on and off in sequence to form a “marching ants” marquee
(
). Do not unplug the serial or USB cables while data transfer is in
progress. If connecting to the compuer by USB cable check the progress
indicator on the computer to verify if data transfer is still in progress.
Do not use Nikon View with the camera while battery power is low or the
batteries are exhausted. If the battery indicator changes to low or starts to
flash while the camera and computer are connected, wait for the borders of
the number display to stop flashing, then disconnect the camera and replace
the batteries or connect the EH-31 AC adapter (sold separately).
