Charge A Nikon D40 Camera

Don't miss a fantastic shot because of a dead battery.


There's nothing worse than reaching your location only to find that the battery has run out on your digital camera. Charging the D40's battery may sound obvious and simple, but if you're new to it or have never used this model, you want to make sure you're doing it right.


Instructions


1. Press the switch on the battery slot on the bottom of the camera and pull it gently toward the back of the camera. Remove the battery.


2. Hold the battery so that the arrow on top faces away from you. Slide the battery into the charger. Push it up until it covers the metal pins.


3. Plug the charger lead into the back of the charger. Plug the charger into a wall socket. If the battery needs charging, a red light will appear on the charger. Leave the battery alone until this light turns green (approximately 30 to 60 minutes).


4. Remove the battery from the charger. Open the Nikon D40 battery slot on the camera. Insert the charged battery with the arrow facing toward the camera.
