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 to 8.3 (wide-angle position) and
from f/5.9 to 8.3 (telephoto zoom position).
Larger aperture (Small f-number)
f/3
Smaller aperture (Large f-number)
f/8.3
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 and f/5.9, respectively.

C E (Manual Focus)
• The digits displayed for the gauge on the right of the monitor in step 2 serve as a
guideline for the distance to a subject that is in focus when the gauge is near the
center.

aperture value and zoom position. To see whether the subject is in focus, check the
image after shooting.
C Notes About Peaking
• The range of the contrast level considered to be in focus can be changed by
adjusting the peaking level. It is effective to set the level low for high contrast
subjects, and high for low contrast subjects.
• Peaking highlights high contrast areas of the image in white. Depending on the

• When the exposure compensation is set while using a flash, the compensation is
applied to both the background exposure and to the flash output.
C Using the Histogram
A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. Use as a guide
when using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.
• 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.
• Increasing exposure compensation value shifts tone distribution to the right, and
decreasing it shifts tone distribution to the left.

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

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.

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-EL5 battery.

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.
