Connections
This chapter describes how to use the COOLPIX 900 with
computers and television sets. The camera can be connected
directly to a computer or television using the serial and video
cables provided, or the flash-memory card can be inserted in
the card adapter and read by computers equipped with a PC
card drive. When using the camera with a computer, the Nikon
View 900 software provided with your camera can be used to
view and copy photographs stored on the camera’s flash
memory card. For information on installing and using Nikon
View 900, consult the User’s Guide or the CD-ROM reference
manual for your platform.
Connecting the Camera to a Television
The COOLPIX 900 can be connected to a television set, mak-
ing it possible to play photographs back for an audience. To
connect the camera to a television set, use the video cable
supplied with the camera. Lift up the lid covering the DC-IN
and video jacks and flip it forward to reveal the camera’s video
connector.

TY
PLAY
Connect the cable to the camera by inserting the black plug
into the video jack. The cable can be connected when both the
camera and television are on or when either or both are off.
Connect the yellow plug to the television’s VIDEO IN jack. If your
television is connected to a video cassette recorder (VCR), set the
input switch on the VCR to LINE and then connect the yellow
plug to the VIDEO IN jack on the VCR. Turn the television on
and select the video channel. When the selector dial on the
COOLPIX 900 is set to M-REC, A-REC, or PLAY, the television
should show the image visible in the camera’s color LCD moni-
tor. If the camera is being powered by the AC adapter (available
separately), the television will continue to display images even
after the LCD monitor has gone off automatically. If the lens is
rotated to face the same direction as the monitor (“self-portrait
mode”), the image in the television will appear upside down.
Note: Depending on the country of purchase, your COOLPIX
900 will be compatible with either the NTSC or the PAL video
standard. Be sure that the television uses the same video standard
as the camera.
