Disposing of Data Storage Devices  
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or  
built-in camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can  
sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software,  
potentially resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is  
the user’s responsibility.  
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 Select an image option in the Welcome screen setting (A 69). Care  
should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage  
devices.

B Notes About Easy Auto Mode  
Depending upon shooting conditions, the camera may not select the desired scene mode. In this  
case, select another shooting mode (A 30, 35, 37, 39).  
When the digital zoom is in effect, the scene mode changes to U.  
C When Using a Tripod  
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations.  
- When shooting in dim lighting  
- When the flash is lowered or when using a shooting mode in which the flash does not fire  
- When using the telephoto setting  
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration reduction to Off in  
the setup menu (A 69) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.  
Using the Zoom  
When you move the zoom control, the zoom lens position  
changes.  
Zoom out  
Zoom in  
To zoom in closer to the subject: Move toward g (telephoto)  
To zoom out and view a larger area: Move toward  
f (wide-angle)  
When you turn the camera on, the zoom moves to the  
maximum wide-angle position.  
The zoom operates quickly when you rotate the zoom  
control fully (except when recording movies).  
A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor  
when the zoom control is moved.  
Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the  
subject up to approximately 2× the maximum optical  
zoom ratio, can be activated by moving and holding the  
Optical zoom Digital zoom  
zoom control toward g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom  
position.  
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation  
While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to  
interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V position. The  
position of V moves to the right as the size of an image decreases.

O Pet portrait  
When you point the camera at a dog or cat, the camera detects the pet’s face and focuses on it.  
By default, the shutter is automatically released when focus is acquired (pet portrait auto release).  
From the screen displayed after O Pet portrait is selected, select Single or Continuous.

Shooting is also possible by pressing the shutter-release button, regardless of the Pet portrait  
auto release setting. When Continuous is selected, you can take images continuously while  
holding down the shutter-release button all the way.  
B Focus Area  
When the camera detects a face, the face is displayed inside a  
yellow border. When the camera acquires focus on a face  
displayed inside a double border (focus area), the double border  
turns green. If no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the  
subject in the center of the frame.  
In some shooting conditions, the pet face may not be detected  
and other subjects may be displayed inside a border.

Focusing  
The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.  
Using Face Detection  
In the following shooting modes, the camera uses face  
detection to automatically focus on human faces.

d Backlighting in G (easy auto) mode (A 29)  
Portrait or Night portrait in scene mode (A 30)  
Smart portrait mode (A 37)  
2 5 m 0 s

If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is  
displayed around the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed  
around the other faces.  
If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera  
focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.  
B Notes About Face Detection  
The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in  
which the faces are looking.  
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

Smart portrait mode (A 37)  
e Portrait, h Night portrait, or d Backlighting in G (easy auto) mode (A 29)  
Portrait or Night portrait in scene mode (A 30)

B Notes About Skin Softening  
It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.  
Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved, and skin  
softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.

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 glows  
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. the subject 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 focus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as  
the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A 58).

B Maximum Movie Length  
Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even when there is  
sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.  
The maximum movie length for a single movie is displayed on the shooting screen.  
Recording may end before either limit is reached if camera temperature becomes elevated.  
The actual movie length may vary depending on the movie content, subject movement, or type of  
memory card.  
B Notes About Saving Images and Recording Movies  
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the maximum  
movie length flashes while images are being saved or while a movie is being recorded. Do not open  
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the batteries or memory card while  
an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the  
memory card.  
B Notes About Movie Recording  
Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording  
movies (F20). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed  
Class rating are used.  
There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.  
The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration  
reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.  
The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. These  
phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.  
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting.  
- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car,  
may appear skewed.  
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.  
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved.  
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.

B Camera Temperature  
The camera may become warm when shooting movies for an extended period of time or when  
the camera is used in a hot area.  
If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera will  
automatically stop recording.  
The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (B10 s) is displayed.  
After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.  
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.  
B Notes About Autofocus  
Autofocus may not perform as expected (A 57). Should this occur, try the following:  
1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to Single AF (default setting) before starting movie  
recording.  
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.

Caring for the Product  
The Camera  
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described  
below in addition to the warnings in “For Your Safety” (A viii-xiv) when using or storing the  
device.  
B Do Not Drop  
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.  
B Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care  
Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These  
parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or  
damage to the lens. 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.  
B Keep Dry  
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.  
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.  
F2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
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 cause deterioration of the image sensor, producing a white  
blur effect in photographs.  
B Turn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source  
Do not remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted.  
Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product  
memory or internal circuitry.  
B Notes About 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.  
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.  
Batteries  
Be sure to read and follow the warnings in “For Your Safety” (A viii-xiv) before use.  
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.  
F3  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
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 this camera, charge two batteries at a time using Battery  
Charger MH-72. When using Battery Charger MH-73, charge two or four batteries 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.  
Set Battery type (A 70, E77) to COOLPIX (Ni-MH).  
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.  
F4  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
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  
Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See “Approved Memory Cards” (F20) for recommended  
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.  
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, be  
sure to format it with this camera. We recommend formatting new memory cards with this camera  
before using them with this camera.  
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 the camera is turned on,  
the memory card must be formatted. If there is data on the memory card that you do not want to  
delete, select No and press the k button. Copy that data to a computer before formatting. To  
format the memory card, select 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.  
- 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.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.  
Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower  
(typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to  
produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints or other stains  
that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral
