B Notes About Face Detection
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera. Additionally, the camera may be unable to detect faces in the
following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
• When the frame includes more than one person’s face, the faces detected by the camera and the
face on which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in
which the faces are looking.

B Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus
The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject
may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator turns green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun behind the subject
makes that subject appear very dark)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject, wearing a white shirt, is
standing in front of a white wall)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. an animal inside a cage)
• Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of similarly shaped
windows, etc.)
• Subject is moving rapidly
In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several
times, or select A (auto) mode and use focus lock (A 59) to take the picture by first focusing on an
object that is the same distance from the camera as the desired subject.

White Balance (Adjusting Hue)
Select A (auto) mode Mdbutton MWhite balance Mkbutton
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human
brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white
objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent
lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the
color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural colors, select a white
balance setting that matches the light source before shooting.
Although Auto (the default setting) can be used under most types of lighting, white balance
can be adjusted to suit the sky conditions or light source and achieve more natural color
tones in the image.

look as though they had been shot under white light).

Caring for the Product
The Camera
To ensure safe and continued enjoyment of your Nikon camera, observe the following
your 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 or lens cover.
B Keep Dry
If water enters the camera, internal components may rust or otherwise become damaged, and
repairing the camera may be expensive or even impossible.
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.
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.
F2
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
B Turn the Camera off Before Removing the Batteries, AC Adapter, or Memory Card
Removing the batteries, AC adapter, 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 does not appear in images saved with the
camera except in the cases of movies and of images saved with Multi-shot 16 selected for
Continuous. When shooting in these modes, 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 L28, charge two batteries 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.
F4
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 plastic tape when recycling.

Memory Cards
• Observe the precautions noted in the documentation included with your memory card.
• Do not affix labels or stickers to the memory card.
• Do not format the memory card using a computer.
• 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, select No. Copy that data to a computer before formatting. To format the memory
card, select Yes and then press the kbutton.
• 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.
- Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the memory card or
batteries.
- Do not turn off the camera
- Do not disconnect the AC adapter

Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
When cleaning the lens, avoid touching it directly with your fingers. Remove dust or
lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints, oil, or other grime that cannot be removed
with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft, dry cloth or an eyeglass cleaning cloth, using
a gentle spiral motion that starts in the center and moves toward the edges. Do not
wipe forcefully or wipe with a rough cloth, otherwise the camera may be damaged
or malfunction. If you still cannot remove the grime, wet a soft cloth with a
commercial liquid lens cleaner and gently wipe off the grime.

Figures based on the Camera and Imaging Products Association (CIPA) standards for measuring
the endurance of camera batteries. Performance for still pictures measured under the following
test conditions: x 5152×3864 selected for Image mode, zoom adjusted with each shot, and
flash fired with every other shot. Movie recording time assumes that f 720/30p is selected for
Movie options. Figures may vary with use, the interval between shots, and the length of time
menus and images are displayed.
The included batteries are for trial use only. Figures listed for lithium batteries are measured using
commercially available FR6/L91 (AA-size) Energizer(R) Ultimate Lithium batteries.
Individual movie files can not exceed 2 GB in size or 29 minutes in length. Recording may end
