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 set Record location data of  
Location data options (A87) to Off after formatting 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 (A76). Care should be taken to  
avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices.  
For the COOLPIX AW120, the log data saved on the memory card is handled in the  
same way as other data. To erase the log data that is obtained but not stored on the  
memory card, select Create log End all logs Erase logs.

Cleaning after Using the Camera Underwater  
After using the camera underwater, clean the camera within 60 minutes. If  
you leave the camera in wet conditions where salt particles or other foreign  
substances are adhered to it, this could cause damage, discoloration,  
corrosion, a bad smell or deterioration of waterproof performance.  
Before cleaning the camera, thoroughly remove water droplets, sand, salt  
particles, or other foreign substances from your hands, body, and hair.  
It is recommended to clean the camera indoors to avoid a place where it  
could be exposed to water spray or sand.  
Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover until all foreign  
substances are washed off with water and all moisture is wiped off.  
1. Keep the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover closed and wash  
off the camera with fresh water.  
Immerse the camera in a  
shallow basin filled with  
fresh water (such as tap  
water and well-water that  
do not contain salt) for 10  
minutes.  
If the buttons or switches do  
not operate properly, foreign  
substances may have  
adhered. Since this could  
cause a malfunction, immerse the camera in fresh water and shake it  
sufficiently in the water to remove the any foreign substances from the  
camera.  
When the camera is immersed in the water, a few air bubbles may come  
out from the water drain holes of the camera such as openings in the  
microphone or speakers. This is not a malfunction.  
2. Wipe off water droplets with a soft cloth and dry the camera in the  
well-ventilated and shady place.  
Place the camera on a dry cloth to dry it.  
Water will flow out from openings in the microphone or speakers.  
Do not dry the camera with hot air from a hair dryer or clothes dryer.  
Do not use chemicals (such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, or cleanser), soap,  
or neutral detergents.  
If the waterproof packing or body of the camera becomes deformed, the  
waterproof performance will deteriorate.

3. After making sure that there are no water droplets on the camera,  
open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and gently wipe  
off any water or sand remaining inside the camera with a dry soft  
cloth.  
If you open the cover before the camera is thoroughly dried, water  
droplets may fall on a memory card or battery.  
The water droplets may also seep inside the battery-chamber/memory  
card slot cover (in locations such as waterproof packing, hinges, memory  
card slot, or terminals).  
If that happens, wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.  
If the cover is closed when the inside is wet, this could cause condensation  
or malfunction.  
If the microphone or speaker openings are clogged with water droplets,  
the sound may deteriorate or become distorted.  
- Wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.  
- Do not puncture the microphone or speaker openings with a sharp  
implement. If the inside of the camera is damaged, the waterproof  
performance will deteriorate.

Notes About Operating Temperature and  
Humidity and Condensation  
The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures from −10°C to  
+40°C (14°F to 104°F).  
When you use the camera in cold climate regions, observe the following  
precautions. Keep the camera and spare batteries in a warm place before use.  
The performance of the batteries (number of images shot and shooting  
time) will drop temporarily.  
If the camera is in a very cold state, the performance may drop temporarily,  
for example, the monitor may be darker than normal immediately after the  
camera is turned on or residual images may be produced.  
When snow or water droplets adhere to the exterior of the camera,  
immediately wipe them off.  
- If the buttons or switches are frozen, they may not operate smoothly.  
- If the microphone or speaker openings are clogged with water droplets,  
the sound may deteriorate or become distorted.  
bOperating environmental conditions such as  
temperature and humidity may cause fogging  
(condensation) on the inside of the monitor or  
lens. This is not the camera malfunction or  
defect.  
bEnvironmental conditions that are likely to cause  
condensation inside of the camera  
Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor or lens in the  
following environmental conditions where there are sharp temperature changes or  
high humidity.  
The camera is suddenly immersed in low temperature underwater from  
high temperature on land.  
The camera is brought to a warm place such as inside a building from the  
cold climate outside.  
The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed in a high-  
humidity environment.  
bClearing the fogging

<Important> Notes About Location Data  
Functions (GPS/GLONASS, Electronic  
Compass)  
bMap/location name data of this camera  
Before using the location data functions, make sure to read “USER LICENSE  
agree to the terms.  
The maps and location name information (Points of Interest: POI) are as of  
April 2013.  
The maps and location name information will not be updated.  
The details of geological formations are displayed simplistically according to  
the scale of a map. The scale of a map and level of detail of the location data  
vary depending on country and region.  
If the latitude becomes higher, the horizontal and vertical scales displayed  
on the monitor vary, therefore displayed geological formations differ from  
the actual formations. Use the maps and location name information only as  
a guide.  
The detailed map data and location name information (Points of Interest:  
POI) of the People’s Republic of China (“China”) and the Republic of Korea  
are not provided for the COOLPIX AW120.  
bNotes about record location data functions and log recording  
When Record location data in Location data options of the Location  
data options menu is set to On or while recording logs, record location data  
functions and log recording will continue to operate even after the camera  
is turned off (A80).  
The electromagnetic waves emitted by this camera may disrupt the  
electronic systems of the airplane or the instruments of the hospital. When  
use of the camera is prohibited or restricted during airplane takeoffs and  
landings or inside a hospital, end log recording, set Record location data  
to Off, and then turn off the camera.  
An individual may be identified from still images or movies that have been  
recorded with location data. Observe caution when you transfer still images or  
movies recorded with location data, or log files to a third party or upload them to  
a network such as the Internet where the public can view them. Make sure to read

bNotes about measurement functions  
The COOLPIX AW120 is a camera. Do not use this camera as a navigation device  
or measuring instrument.  
Use information (such as direction, altitude and water depth) measured by  
the camera as a guideline only. Do not use this information for navigation of  
an airplane, car, and person or land survey applications.  
When you use the camera for mountain climbing, trekking, or underwater,  
make sure to take a map, navigation device, or measuring instrument  
separately.  
bUsing the camera overseas  
Before taking the camera with location data functions overseas for travel,  
consult your travel agency or embassy of the country you are visiting to  
confirm whether there is any restriction on use.  
For example, you cannot record location data logs without permission from  
the government in China.  
Set Record location data to Off.  
The location data may not function properly in China and on the borders  
between China and neighboring countries (as of December 2013).

Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada  
(IC)  
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.

Available Flash Modes  
U
Auto  
The flash fires when necessary, such as in dim lighting.  
The flash mode icon on the shooting screen is displayed only  
immediately after the setting is made.  
V
W
Auto with red-eye reduction  
Reduce “red-eye” in portraits caused by the flash.  
Off  
The flash does not fire.  
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in  
dark surroundings.  
X
Fill flash  
The flash fires whenever an image is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate)  
shadows and backlit subjects.  
Y
Slow sync  
Suited to evening and night portraits that include background scenery.  
The flash fires when necessary to illuminate the main subject; slow shutter  
speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim lighting.  
C The Flash Mode Setting  
The setting may not be available with some shooting modes.  
The setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after  
the camera is turned off.  
C Auto with Red-eye Reduction  
Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the  
red-eye effect. If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area  
is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.  
Note the following when shooting:  
Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release  
button is pressed and when the image is shot.  
More time than usual is required to save images.  
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.  
In some rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas  
of the image. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the image again.

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 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

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 battery 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 (F31). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory  
cards with a lower Speed Class rating are used.  
When using the camera's internal memory, saving movies may take some time.  
Depending on the file size of a movie, it may not be possible to save the movie in  
the internal memory or copy it from a memory card to the internal memory.  
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 Notes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording  
When Movie VR (A73) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of  
view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording.  
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during recording, set Movie VR to Off  
to prevent potential errors caused by this function.  
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 (B10s) 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 (A63). Should this occur, try the following:  
1. Set AF area mode to Center and Autofocus mode to Single AF (default  
setting) in the movie menu 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.

m30s  
The image size of the still images to be saved  
is the same as the Movie options (A73)  
setting.  
B Notes About Saving Still Images During Movie Recording  
Still images cannot be saved during movie recording in the following situations.  
- When movie recording is paused  
- When the remaining movie length is less than 5 seconds  
- When Movie options is set to Z 1080/60i, U 1080/50i, g 480/30p,  
W 480/25p or HS movie  
Frames of a movie that were recorded when a still image was being taken may not  
be played back in a seamless manner.  
The sounds of operating the shutter-release button when saving a still image may  
be heard in the recorded movie.  
If the camera moves when the shutter-release button is pressed, the image may be  
blurred.

B Notes About Location Data Functions  
Before using the location data functions, read "<Important> Notes About Location  
It takes a few minutes to obtain location data when positioning is performed for  
the first time or in a situation where positioning cannot be performed for a long  
period of time, or just after the battery is replaced.  
Positions of the positioning satellites change constantly.  
You may not be able to determine the position or it may take some time  
depending on your location and the time.  
To use the location data functions, use the camera in an open-air area with few  
obstacles in the sky.  
Signal receiving will be smoother if the positioning antenna (A1) is facing the sky.  
The following locations which block or reflect signals may result in failed or  
inaccurate positioning.  
- Inside buildings or underground locations  
- Between high-rise buildings  
- Under overpasses  
- Inside tunnels  
- Near high-voltage electrical power lines  
- Between clusters of trees  
- Underwater  
Using a mobile phone of 1.5 GHz band near this camera may disrupt positioning.  
When carrying this camera around while positioning, do not place it in a metal bag.  
Positioning cannot be performed if the camera is covered with metal materials.  
When there is a significant difference in the signals from the positioning satellites,  
there could be a deviation of up to several hundred meters.  
Be aware of your surroundings when positioning.  
The shooting date and time that is displayed when playing back images is  
determined by the camera’s internal clock at the time of shooting.  
The time obtained by the location data and recorded on images will not be  
displayed on the camera.  
The location data for the first frame will be recorded on a series of images shot  
using continuous shooting.

B Battery Drain While Recording Location Data and Log Recording  
When Record location data is set to On, record location data functions will  
continue to operate at the specified interval for approximately 6 hours even after  
the camera is turned off. Also, record location data functions and log recording will  
continue to operate while recording logs (A88) even after the camera is turned  
off.  
When Record location data is set to On or while recording logs, the battery  
power will drain faster than usual. Confirm the battery level especially when  
recording a log using Start all logs or Start depth log.

The location data recorded on an image can be checked on a map with ViewNX 2  
after transferring the image to a computer (A94).  
The actual place of shooting may differ from the location data recorded on the  
image files due to the accuracy of the location data obtained and a difference in  
the geodetic system used.  
The location data and POI information recorded on images can be erased using  
Erase location data in Location data options (A87). The erased information  
cannot be recovered.

Using Altimeter and Depth Gauge  
You can display the altitude or water depth and the atmospheric pressure of  
the current position on the screen and record the displayed value on the  
images to be shot.  
Use Alt./depth correction in the Location data options menu to correct  
the data in advance. Before using the camera underwater, make sure to  
adjust the data to 0 m at the surface of water. You can display a more  
accurate altitude or water depth if you adjust the data frequently. When  
altitude or water depth is corrected, i is displayed next to the altitude or  
water depth.  
The altitude or water depth, and the  
atmospheric pressure are always  
displayed.  
The altimeter or depth gauge is  
displayed when the Altimeter/depth  
gauge setting of Altitude/depth  
options in the Location data options  
menu (A87) is set to On (default  
setting).  
The depth gauge and water depth are  
displayed when you select  
Underwater scene mode, or select G

B Notes About Altimeter and Depth Gauge  
Do not use the altimeter or depth gauge in this camera for specialized applications  
such as mountain climbing or underwater diving. The displayed information is  
intended as a general guide only.  
Since the altitude is measured using the camera's internal barometer, the data may  
not be displayed correctly in some climate conditions.  
When Altimeter/depth gauge is set to On, the altimeter or depth gauge and the  
atmospheric pressure are displayed even if Hide info is selected for Photo info in  
Monitor settings of the setup menu (A76).  
If the camera is not being used for underwater shooting when Underwater scene  
mode is selected, the depth gauge display is fixed at 0 m (0 ft).  
When the water depth exceeds 15 m (49 ft), the depth gauge display turns orange.  
When water depth exceeds 18 m (59 ft), the depth gauge display turns red.

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.

B Notes About Glamour Retouch  
Only one face per image can be edited using the glamour retouch function. You  
can retouch up to ten people (ten times) if you continue choosing different faces  
to retouch from the edited copy you created.  
Depending upon the direction in which faces are looking, or the brightness of  
faces, the camera may be unable to accurately detect faces, or the glamour  
retouch function may not perform as expected.  
If no faces are detected, a warning is displayed and the screen returns to the  
playback menu.  
The glamour retouch function is available only for images captured when the ISO  
sensitivity is 1600 or lower.

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” (Avii-ix) and  
when using or storing the device.  
B Do Not Drop  
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.  
B Do Not Allow Damp to Enter Inside the Camera  
This camera 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 fresh water 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, make sure to observe the following cautions when using the camera.  
When the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is 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 and close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover in areas  
exposed to water spray, high winds, dust or sand.  
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.

F2  
       
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  
This camera is designed to withstand water pressure up to a depth of 18 m (59 ft) for  
approximately 60 minutes. At greater depth, water could seep inside the camera,  
resulting in camera malfunction.  
B Precautions on Handling the Camera in Cold Locations  
The operation of this camera has been confirmed at temperatures of –10°C (14°F).  
If the camera is left with snow or water droplets adhered to the exterior, snow or  
water droplets between the gaps may become frozen and it may be difficult to  
operate parts of the camera.  
At temperatures from –10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), the performance of the batteries  
(number of images shot and shooting time) will drop temporarily.  
If the camera becomes extremely cold in cold locations, the monitor performance  
may drop temporarily immediately after the power is turned on (i.e., the monitor  
appears darker than usual or a residual image occurs).  
When using the camera in cold locations or at high altitudes, keep the camera  
warm inside a protection against cold or clothing.  
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.  
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.

F3  
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 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.  
Due to the general characteristics of OLED monitors, prolonged or repeated  
display of the same screen or image may result in screen burn. Screen burn can be  
recognized by decreased brightness in portions of the monitor or mottled display.  
In some cases, screen burn may become permanent. However, images are in no  
way affected by screen burn.  
To prevent screen burn, do not set monitor brightness higher than necessary and  
do not display the same screen or image for an extended period of time.  
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  
Be sure to read and follow the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Avii-ix) before  
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 −10°C (14°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.

F4  
   
When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the charging AC  
adapter or a computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures  
below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°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 the terminal 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-EL12 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  
Be sure to read and follow the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Avii-ix) before  
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.

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.
