Notes on Power Source

When connecting the camera to a computer, use a battery with a sufficient amount of charge

remaining 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 (

A178, 202).

If the AC Adapter EH-62A (

A213) (available separately) is used, COOLPIX P500 can be powered

from an electrical outlet. Do not use another make or model of AC adapter other than EH-62A.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
