tions when handling batteries for use in

this product:

• Before replacing the battery, turn the prod-

uct oﬀ. If you are using the AC adapter, be

sure it is unplugged.

• Use only rechargeable Nikon EN-EL8 lith-

ium-ion batteries (supplied). Charge the

and connecting the supplied AC adapter,

or by inserting it in a MH-62 battery charger

(available separately).

• When inserting the battery, do not attempt

to insert it upside down or backwards.

• Do not short or disassemble batteries.

• Do not expose batteries to ﬂame or to ex-

cessive heat.

• Do not immerse in or expose to water.

• Replace the terminal cover when trans-

porting the battery. Do not transport or

store with metal objects such as necklaces

or hairpins.

• Batteries are prone to leakage when fully

discharged. To avoid damage to the prod-

uct, be sure to remove the battery when no

charge remains.

• Discontinue use immediately should you

notice any change in the battery, such as

discoloration or deformation.

• If liquid from damaged batteries comes in

contact with clothing or skin, rinse immedi-

ately with plenty of water.

Turn oﬀ in the event of malfunction

Should you notice smoke or an unusual

smell coming from the camera or AC adapt-

er, unplug the AC adapter and remove the

battery immediately, taking care to avoid

burns. Continued operation could result

in injury. After removing or disconnecting

the power source, take the equipment to

a Nikon-authorized service representative

for inspection.

Do not disassemble

Touching the internal parts of the camera

or AC adapter could result in injury. Re-

pairs should be performed only by quali-

ﬁ ed technicians. Should the camera or

AC adapter break open as the result of a

fall or other accident, take the product to

a Nikon-authorized service representative

for inspection after unplugging the prod-

uct and/or removing the battery.

Do not use the camera or AC adapter in the pres-

ence of ﬂammable gas

Do not use electronic equipment in the

presence of ﬂammable gas, as this could

result in explosion or ﬁre.

Handle the camera strap with care

Never place the strap around the neck of

an infant or child.

Keep out of reach of children

Particular care should be taken to prevent

infants from putting the batteries or other

small parts into their mouths.

Observe the following precautions when handling

the AC adapter

• Use only adapters designated for use with

this product.

Handle moving parts with care

Be careful that your ﬁngers or other objects

are not pinched by the lens cover or other

moving parts.

• Keep dry. Failure to observe this precau-

tion could result in ﬁre or electric shock.

• Dust on or near the metal parts of the plug

should be removed with a dry cloth. Con-

tinued use could result in ﬁre.

• Do not handle the power cable or go near

the adapter during thunderstorms. Failure

to observe this precaution could result in

electric shock.

• Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or

bend the power cable, place it under

heavy objects, or expose it to heat or ﬂame.

Should the insulation be damaged and the

wires become exposed, take it to a Nikon-

authorized service representative for in-

spection. Failure to observe these precau-

tions could result in ﬁre or electric shock.

• Do not handle the plug or battery charger

with wet hands. Failure to observe this pre-

caution could result in electric shock.

CD-ROMs

The CD-ROMs supplied with this device

should not be played back on audio CD

equipment. Playing CD-ROMs on an audio

CD player could cause hearing loss or dam-

age the equipment.

Observe caution when operating the ﬂash

Using the ﬂash close to your subject’s eyes

could cause temporary visual impairment.

Particular care should be observed if pho-

tographing infants, when the ﬂash should

be no less than one meter (39in.) from the

subject.

Do not ﬁre the ﬂash while it is touching a person

or object

Such use can result in the person being

burned, and/or their clothes igniting from

the heat of the ﬂash.

Avoid contact with liquid crystal

Should the monitor break, care should be

taken to avoid injury due to broken glass

and to prevent liquid crystal from the mon-

itor touching the skin or entering the eyes

or mouth.

Use appropriate cables

When connecting cables to the input and

output jacks, use only the cables provided

or sold by Nikon for the purpose, to main-

tain compliance with product regulations.

Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data

using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely reﬁll it with images

containing no private information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace

any pictures selected for the welcome screen. Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to

property when physically destroying data storage devices.

Red-eye Reduction

The camera uses advanced red-eye reduction. Low-intensity light pulses cause the sub-

ject’s pupils to contract before the ﬂash ﬁres. If the camera still detects red-eye, it will pro-

cess the image to further its eﬀects (“In-Camera Red-eye Fix”; note that this may slightly

increase the time needed to record the picture). This mode is not recommended where

a quick shutter response is required; if the desired results are not achieved, try again at a

diﬀerent ﬂash setting.

When Lighting Is Poor

ቢ The AF-assist illuminator may light

If lighting is poor, the AF-assist illuminator may light to as-

sist the focus operation when the shutter-release button is

pressed halfway. The illuminator has a maximum range of

about 1.9m/6ft. 3in. (W) to 1.1m/3ft. 7in. (T). The AF-assist illuminator is not available

in some modes ( 84) and can also be turned oﬀ manually ( 75), although in this case

the camera may not focus when lighting is poor.

ባ A blur warning may be displayed

If the ﬂash is oﬀ, a icon will be displayed to warn that pic-

tures may be blurred as a result of slow shutter speeds. If

an ISO icon is displayed, sensitivity has been raised to com-

pensate for poor lighting and pictures may be aﬀected by

“noise” in the form of randomly-spaced, brightly-colored

dots ( 65). The camera may process pictures to reduce

noise, doubling recording times.

If the warning at right is displayed after a picture is taken,

the picture may be blurred. Select No to exit without re-

cording the picture. If no operations are performed for

about twenty seconds, the picture will be recorded auto-

Face-Priority AF

The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not

the subject is facing the camera. The camera may be unable to detect faces that are hidden

by sunglasses or other obstructions or that take up too much or too little of the frame. If no

face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera will focus on

the center of the frame.

The camera will focus continuously until a face detected. If the double border ﬂashes yellow

when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera is unable to focus; release the

Exp. +/–

Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value selected by the

camera. Choose from values between –2.0EV and +2.0EV in increments of  EV.

Negative values produce darker pictures, positive values brighter pictures. The ef-

fects can be previewed in the display; at settings other than zero, the current value

for exposure compensation is also shown ( 6–7).

Continuous

Capture a ﬂeeting expression on a portrait subject, photograph a subject that is

moving unpredictably, or capture motion in a series of pictures. At settings of Con-

tinuous and Multi-shot 16, the ﬂash turns oﬀ and focus, exposure, and white

Best Shot Selector (BSS)

BSS is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement can

produce blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or over-

exposure. It may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the com-

position is changed while the shutter-release button is fully pressed.

Option

Description

Oﬀ

BSS oﬀ.

Camera takes shots while shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum

of ten. These images are then compared and sharpest picture (picture

with highest level of detail) is saved. Flash turns oﬀ automatically and

focus, exposure, and white balance for all photos are determined by ﬁrst

picture in each series.

Selecting this option displays sub-menu shown at

right. Choose from:

• Highlight BSS: picture with smallest area of over-

exposure is selected.

• Shadow BSS: picture with smallest area of un-

derexposure is selected.

Exposure

BSS

• Histogram BSS: of pictures with least under- and over-exposure, cam-

era chooses picture with overall exposure closest to optimum.

Camera takes ﬁve shots each time shutter-release button is pressed, but

only picture that best meets selected criterion is saved. Flash turns oﬀ

automatically and focus and white balance for all photos are determined

by ﬁrst picture in each series. Recommended for high-contrast subjects,

when it is diﬃcult to set exposure correctly.

At settings other than Oﬀ, the current BSS setting appears in the display ( 6–7).

Sensitivity

Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the

sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Much as ﬁlm with a high

ISO rating tends to produce “grainy” images, high sensitivities may however be as-

sociated with “noise”—randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in

dark parts of the image. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 400 equivalent.

Auto is equivalent to ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and

the ﬂash is oﬀ, the camera compensates by raising Sensitivity to a maximum of ISO

200 equivalent.

The current Sensitivity is displayed in the monitor at settings other than Auto

(

6–7). If Auto is selected, an ISO icon will be displayed when sensitivity is raised

above ISO 50 equivalent.

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following pre-

cautions when storing or using the device.

Handle the lens and all moving parts with care

The lens, monitor, and battery-chamber/

memory card slot and lens covers are easily

damaged. Do not use force. Force applied

to the lens cover could cause malfunction or

damage the lens. Should the monitor break,

care should be taken to avoid injury due to

broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal

from the display touching the skin or entering

the eyes or mouth.

Do not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to

strong shocks or vibration.

Keep away from strong magnetic ﬁelds

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity

of equipment that generates strong electro-

magnetic radiation or magnetic ﬁelds. Strong

static charges or the magnetic ﬁelds pro-

duced by equipment such as radio transmit-

ters could interfere with the monitor, damage

data stored on the memory card, or aﬀect the

product’s internal circuitry.

Do not point the lens at strong light sources for ex-

tended periods

Avoid framing the sun or other strong light

sources for extended periods when using or

storing the camera. Intense light may cause

deterioration in the image sensor, producing

a white blur eﬀect in photographs.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as oc-

cur when entering or leaving a heated build-

ing on a cold day, can cause condensation

inside the device. To prevent condensation,

place the device in a carrying case or a plastic

bag before exposing it to sudden changes in

temperature.

Turn the product oﬀ before removing or disconnect-

ing the power source

Do not unplug the product or remove the

battery while the product is on, or while im-

ages are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly

cutting power could result in loss of data or

in damage to product memory or circuitry. To

prevent an accidental interruption of power,

do not move the product while the AC adapt-

er is connected.

The AF-Assist Illuminator LED

The light-emitting diode (LED;

in the AF-assist illuminator conforms to the

following IEC standard:

2, 21) used

CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT

IEC60825-1 Edition 1.2^-2001

Keep dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in

water or subjected to high levels of moisture.

Notes on the Monitor

• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a char-

acteristic common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images

recorded using the product will not be aﬀected.

• When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end

may appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as“smear,”does not appear in the ﬁnal

photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.

• Images in the monitor may be diﬃcult to see in a bright light.

• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or ﬂicker, contact

your Nikon service representative.

Cleaning

Lens Avoid touching glass parts with your ﬁngers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typi-

cally a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to pro-

duce a stream of air out the other). To remove ﬁngerprints or other stains that can

not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion

that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. If this fails, clean the

lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove ﬁngerprints and other stains, clean the

monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

Body Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.

After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe oﬀ any sand or salt with a dry

cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly. Note that foreign

matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered under warranty.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Batteries

• Check the battery level when taking the camera out and charge the battery if necessary

(

11). Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in

reduced battery performance. If possible, carry a fully-charged spare battery when taking

pictures on important occasions.

• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F).

During charging, the temperature should be in the vicinity of 5–35°C (41–95°F). Note that

the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. Failure

to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance, or prevent

it from charging normally.

• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully

charged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a

warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of

its charge.

• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.

• When the battery is not in use, remove it from the camera or battery charger and replace

the terminal cover. The camera and battery charger draw minute amounts of current even

when oﬀ; if left in place, the battery could be drained to the point that it no longer functions.

Turning the camera on or oﬀ while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life.

If the battery will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool (15°C–25°C/59°F–

77°F), dry place. Recharge it at least once a year and run it ﬂat before returning it to stor-

age.

• Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable re-

source. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Storage

Turn the camera oﬀ when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is oﬀ before

putting the camera away and remove the batteries if the camera will not be used

for an extended period. Do not store the camera with naptha or camphor moth

balls or in locations that:

• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic ﬁelds, such as tele-

visions or radios

• are exposed to temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above 50°C (122°F)

• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%

To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month.

Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera

away again.

Electronically Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the cam-

era may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external

static charge. Turn the camera oﬀ, remove and replace the batteries, and then turn the

camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon

representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result

in the loss of any data not recorded to internal memory or the memory card at the time

the problem occurred. Data already recorded will not be aﬀected.

Image File and Folder Names

Pictures, movies, and voice memos are assigned ﬁle names with three parts: a four letter iden-

tiﬁer, a four-digit ﬁle number assigned automatically by the camera in ascending order, and a

three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”).

Pictures and sound ﬁles are stored in folders named with a three-digit folder number followed

by a ﬁve-character identiﬁer: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures taken us-

ing panorama assist (e.g, “101P_001”;

“101INTVL”; 64), “SOUND” or “SOUNE” for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”;

29–30), “INTVL” for interval timer photography (e.g.,

38), and

“NIKON”for all other pictures (e.g,“100NIKON”). Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if a picture

is taken when the current folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding

one to the current folder number. If a picture is taken when the current folder is numbered

999 and contains 200 pictures or a picture numbered 9999, no further pictures can be taken

until the medium is formatted ( 76) or a new memory card inserted.

Files copied using Copy >Selected images or COPY SOUND FILES>Selected ﬁles are cop-

ied to the current folder, where they are assigned new ﬁle numbers in ascending order start-

ing from the largest ﬁle number in memory. Copy >All images and COPY SOUND FILES>

Copy all ﬁles copy all folders from the source device; ﬁle names do not change but new

folder numbers are assigned in ascending order starting from the largest folder number on

the destination device ( 40, 69).

Pictmotion movies ( 48) are stored under the “NKSS” folder in folders named with a three-

digit folder number followed by “PRJCT” (e.g., “101PRJCT”). Each folder contains the picture

and sound ﬁles for a single Pictmotion movie.

Copies ( 42, 43, 69)

Copies created using crop ( 42), D-Lighting ( 43), and small picture ( 69) have the same

transfer marking as the original but are not marked for printing or protection. Copies created

using Copy ( 69) have the same protection marking as the original but are not marked for

printing or transfer. The crop and small picture options can not be used with copies created

with crop or small picture; D-lighting is not available with copies created with crop, D-light-

ing, or small picture.
