B Notes About Saving Movies
After a movie has been recorded, it is not fully saved to the internal memory or memory card until
monitor display returns to the shooting display. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card
slot cover or internal cover before movies have been fully saved. Removing the memory card or
the battery while a movie is being saved may result in loss of the movie data or damage to the
camera or to the memory card.
B Notes About Movie Recording
• Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording
Class rating are used.
• The optical zoom magnification ratio cannot be changed once recording starts.
• Use the multi selector H or I to operate digital zoom while recording movies. The zoom range is
between the optical zoom magnification ratio before recording a movie and up to 4×.
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. When recording
ends, digital zoom turns off.
• The sounds of multi selector operation, autofocus lens drive movement, and aperture operation
when brightness changes may be recorded.
bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.
• Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, subjects with repeating
patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) may have colored stripes (interference patterns, moire, etc.)
in them during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the
layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.
• The camera may become warm when shooting movies for an extended period of time or when
the camera is used in a hot area.
B Notes About Autofocus
1. Before recording, set Movie AF in the shooting menu to W Single AF (default setting)
2. Frame another subject—positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended
subject—in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, and
then modify the composition.

Technical Notes and Index
Caring for the Product
The Camera
To ensure safe and continued enjoyment of your Nikon camera, observe the following
camera.
B Do Not Subject the Product to Strong Shocks
The product may malfunction if dropped or struck. Additionally, do not touch or apply force to the
lens.
B Do Not Allow Damp to Enter Inside the Camera
COOLPIX S30 is provided with JIS/IEC protection class 8 (IPX8) equivalent waterproofing. If water
seeps inside the camera, however, this could cause the components to rust and result in a high
repair charge or the camera may not be repairable. After using the camera at the beach or
underwater, make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is firmly closed, and then
immerse the camera in a shallow container filled with freshwater for ten minutes. After using the
camera underwater, do not leave the camera wet for 60 minutes or more. This could cause
deterioration of the waterproofing performance.
B Prevent Water From Seeping Inside the Camera
If the inside of the camera becomes wet, this could result in camera malfunction and the camera
may not be repairable. To prevent water seeping (water submersion) accidents, be sure to observe
the following cautions when using the camera.
• When the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and internal cover are closed, make sure that
the camera strap, hair, lint, dust, sand grains, other foreign substances, or dirt are not attached on
the waterproofing packing and portions that make a contact with the waterproofing packing.
• Do not open or close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover in areas exposed to water
spray, high winds, dust or sand.
F2
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• When an external force is applied on the camera, it could become deformed or the airtight seals
may become damaged and cause water to seep inside the camera. Do not place a heavy object
on the camera, drop the camera, or apply excessive force on the camera.
• If water seeps inside the camera, immediately stop using the camera. Wipe off moisture from the
camera, and at once take the camera to your Nikon-authorized service representative.
B Shock and Vibration
Do not drop the camera, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw it at a water surface.
Do not leave the camera in an area subject to vibration. If the camera is subjected to excessive shock,
this could result in camera malfunction or damage.
B Maximum Depth
COOLPIX S30 is designed to withstand water pressure up to a depth of 3 m (9.8 ft) for approximately
60 minutes. At greater depth, water could seep inside the camera, resulting in camera malfunction.
B Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
• Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold
day, can cause condensation to form 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.
• Do not expose the camera to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct sunlight
before entering the water.
B Keep away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic
radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment
such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card,
or affect the product’s internal circuitry.
B Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or
storing the camera. Intense light may damage the image sensor or other components, producing a
white blur effect in photographs.
F3

B Turn the Camera off Before Removing the Batteries or Memory Card
Removing the batteries or memory card while the camera is on could damage the camera or
memory card. If removed while the camera is saving or deleting data, data may be lost and the
camera’s memory or the memory card may be damaged.
B Notes on the Monitor
• Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99%
of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these
displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is
not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.
• Scraping or pressing on the surface of the monitor may result in damage or malfunction. Should
the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the
liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
Nikon-authorized service representative.
B Notes About Smear
White or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor. This
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor; it is
characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also take the form of
partial discoloration in the monitor during shooting. It will not be seen in saved still images but may
be seen in movies. When recording movies, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such as
the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.

Batteries
B Notes About Using Batteries
• Used batteries may overheat. Handle with caution.
• Do not use batteries beyond their recommended expiration date.
• Do not turn the camera on and off repeatedly if discharged batteries are inserted in the camera.
B Spare Batteries
We recommend carrying spare batteries depending on where you are shooting. It may be difficult to
purchase batteries in certain areas.
B Charging Batteries
If using optional rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries before taking pictures. Batteries are not
charged at the time of purchase.
Be sure to read and follow the warnings noted in the operating instructions included with the
battery charger.
B Charging Rechargeable Batteries
• Do not mix batteries with different amounts of charge remaining, or batteries of a different make
or model.
• When using EN-MH2 batteries with the COOLPIX S30, charge the batteries two at a time using
Battery Charger MH-72. When using Battery Charger MH-73, charge the batteries two or four at a
time. Use only Battery Charger MH-72 or MH-73 to charge EN-MH2 batteries.
• When using Battery Charger MH-72 or MH-73, only charge EN-MH2 batteries.
B Notes About EN-MH1 Rechargeable Batteries and Battery Charger MH-70/71
• You can also use EN-MH1 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries with this camera.
• Use only Battery Charger MH-70 or MH-71 to charge EN-MH1 batteries.
• When using Battery Charger MH-70 or MH-71, only charge EN-MH1 batteries.
F5
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
B Notes About Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries
• If you repeatedly charge rechargeable Ni-MH batteries while they still have some charge
remaining, the message Battery exhausted. may be displayed prematurely when using the
batteries. This is due to the “memory effect,” in which the amount of charge the batteries can hold
decreases temporarily. Use the batteries until there is no charge remaining and they will return to
their normal behavior.
• Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries discharge even when not being used. We recommend charging the
batteries just before using them.
B Cold Environment Usage
Battery performance decreases in cold environments. When using the camera in cold environments,
try not to let the camera and batteries become too cold. The camera may not function if you use
discharged batteries in cold environments. Keep spare batteries warm and alternate between two
sets of batteries. Batteries that cannot be used because they have become too cold can often be
used again when they have been warmed up.
B Battery Terminals
Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Remove dirt from the
terminals using a dry cloth.
B Remaining Battery Charge
If you insert discharged batteries into the camera, the camera may indicate that the batteries have
adequate charge remaining. This is a characteristic of batteries.
B Recycling
Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Cover the battery terminals with tape when recycling.

• Before using a memory card with this camera, format the card using this camera if the card has
been used with another device. Before using a new memory card, we recommend using this
camera to format the card.
• Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and other data on the
memory card. If there is data saved on the memory card that you wish to keep, copy that data to
a computer before formatting.
• If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when you insert a memory
card, the memory card must be formatted. If there is data on the memory card that you do not
want to delete, press flexible button 4 (S No). Copy that data to a computer before formatting. To
format the memory card, press flexible button 3 (R Yes).
• Observe the following precautions while formatting the memory card, saving and deleting
images, and copying images to a computer, otherwise data or the memory card itself may be
damaged.
