Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN Network)
This product is controlled by the United States Export Administration
Regulations, and you are required to obtain permission from the United States
government if you export or re-export this product to any country to which the
United States embargoes goods. The following countries were subject to
embargo: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Since the target countries
are subject to change, please contact the United States Department of
Commerce for the latest information.
Restrictions on Wireless Devices
The wireless transceiver included in this product conforms to wireless
regulations in the country of sale and is not for use in other countries (products
purchased in the EU or EFTA can be used anywhere within the EU and EFTA).
Nikon does not accept liability for use in other countries. Users who are unsure
as to the original country of sale should consult with their local Nikon service

Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this
device.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research.

You can check for loss of contrast detail in highlights and shadows from the
histogram that is displayed, or the flashing display for each tone level. These
provide guidelines when adjusting the image brightness with functions such as
exposure compensation.
The tone level indicates the brightness level. When the tone level to check is
selected using the multi selector JK, the area of the image that corresponds to
the selected tone level flashes.
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. The
horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and
bright tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.

Exposure
The procedure for shooting images at the desired brightness (exposure) by
adjusting the shutter speed or aperture value is called “determine exposure.”
The sense of dynamism and amount of background defocus in images to be
shot vary depending on the combinations of shutter speed and aperture value
even if the exposure is the same.
Adjusting the Shutter Speed
In k mode, the range is from a maximum of 1/4000 to 8 seconds.
In m mode, the range is from a maximum of 1/4000 to 15 seconds.
Faster 1/1000 s
Slower 1/30 s
Adjusting the Aperture Value
In l and m modes, the range is from f/3.3 to 7.6 (wide-angle position) and
from f/6.5 to 8.2 (telephoto zoom position).
Larger aperture (Small f-number)
f/3.3
Smaller aperture (Large f-number)
f/7.6
C Aperture Value (F-number) and Zoom
Large apertures (expressed by small f-numbers) let more light into the camera, and
small apertures (large f-numbers) let less light.
The aperture value of the zoom lens of this camera changes depending on the zoom
position. When zooming to the wide-angle position and telephoto zoom position,
the aperture values are f/3.3 and f/6.5, respectively.

• 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
C Viewing Images Taken Using Face Detection
During playback, the camera automatically rotates images according to the
orientation of the faces that were detected at the time of shooting (except for

Using Skin Softening
When the shutter is released while using one of the shooting modes listed
below, the camera detects human faces and processes the image to soften
facial skin tones (up to 3 faces).
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
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 is
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

Example of Camera Movement
• Using your body as the axis of rotation,
move the camera slowly in an arc, in
the direction of the marking
(KLJI).
• Shooting stops if the guide does not
reach the edge within about 15
seconds (when W Normal (180°) is
selected) or within about 30 seconds
(when X Wide (360°) is selected)
after shooting starts.
B Notes About Easy Panorama Shooting
• The range of the image seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen in the
monitor at the time of shooting.
• If the camera is moved too quickly or shaken too much, or if the subject is too
uniform (e.g. walls or darkness), an error may occur.
• If shooting is stopped before the camera reaches the half-way point in the
panorama range, a panorama image is not saved.
• If more than half of the panorama range is captured but shooting ends before
reaching the edge of the range, the range not captured is recorded and displayed
in gray.

Caring for the Products
The Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions
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.
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.

F2
B Turn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power
Source or the Memory Card
Do not remove the battery 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.
The Battery
•
use.
•
Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the
battery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully
charged as this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever
possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking images on
important occasions.
•
•
•
•
•
Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above
40°C (104°F).
Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C
(41°F to 95°F) before use.
When the battery temperature is between 0°C and 10°C (32°F to 50°F) or
45°C to 60°C (113°F to 140°F), the chargeable capacity may decrease.
The battery is not charged at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or
above 60°C (140°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. If an exhausted
battery is used at a low temperature, the camera will not turn on. Be sure
that the battery is fully charged before heading outside to take images 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.
Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry
cloth before use.

•
•
If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and
completely exhaust it before removing it for storage. The battery should be
stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F
to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.
Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger
when it is not being used. When inserted, minute amounts of current are
drawn from the battery even when not in use. This may result in excessive
draining of the battery and complete loss of function. Turning the camera
on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life.
Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust
it before returning it to storage.
After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put
the battery in a plastic bag, etc. to insulate it and store it in a cool place.
A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when
used at room temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced.
Purchase a new EN-EL23 battery.
•
•
•
•
Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a
valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.
Charging AC Adapter
use.
•
•
•
The Charging AC Adapter EH-71P is for use only with compatible devices. Do
not use with another make or model of device.
Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than
the UC-E21 could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.
Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter
other than Charging AC Adapter EH-71P, and do not use a commercially
available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the
camera.
•
The EH-71P is compatible with AC 100 V–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets.
When using in other countries, use a plug adapter (available commercially)
as necessary. For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel
agency.

Memory Cards
•
Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See “Approved 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

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
kbutton. 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 battery.
-
-
Do not turn off the camera.
Do not disconnect the AC adapter.

Caring for the Camera
Cleaning
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
Lens/
viewfinder blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that
starts at the center of them and working toward the edges. If this fails,
clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens
cleaner.
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other
Monitor
stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to
apply pressure.
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 other sandy or
dusty environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth
lightly dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that
foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not
covered by the warranty.
Body
Do not use volatile organic solvents such as alcohol or thinner, chemical
detergents, anticorrosive agents, or anti-fogging agents.
