<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  
to the terms.  
The maps and location name information (Points of Interest: POI) are as of  
April 2014.  
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 S9900.  
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 during log recording, record location data  
functions and log recording function will continue to operate even after the  
camera is turned off (E33).  
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.

bNotes about measurement functions  
The COOLPIX S9900 is a camera. Do not use this camera as a navigation device  
or measuring instrument.  
Use information (such as direction) 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 or trekking, 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 2014).

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

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 of 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.

Preparing for Shooting  
Insert the Battery and Memory Card  
Battery latch  
Memory card slot  
With the battery's positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move  
the orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).  
Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).  
Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or  
backward, as this could cause a malfunction.  
B Formatting a Memory Card  
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into  
this camera, make sure to format it with this camera. Insert the card into the camera,  
press the dbutton, and select Format card in the setup menu (A54).  
Removing the Battery or Memory Card  
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and monitor have  
turned off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.  
Move the battery latch to eject the battery.  
Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory  
card.  
Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card  
immediately after using the camera, as they may become hot.  
Memory Cards and Internal Memory  
Camera data, including images and movies, can be saved either on a memory  
card or in the camera's internal memory. To use the camera's internal memory,  
remove the memory card.

Charge the Battery  
1
With the battery installed, connect the camera to an  
electrical outlet.  
Charging AC Adapter  
Electrical outlet  
Charge lamp  
USB cable (included)  
If a plug adapter* is included with your camera, securely connect it to the  
Charging AC Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly  
remove the plug adapter could damage the product.  
*
The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in  
which the camera was purchased.  
This step can be omitted if the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to  
the Charging AC Adapter.  
The charge lamp slowly flashes green to indicate that the battery is charging.  
When charging is complete, the charge lamp turns off. It takes about 2 hour  
and 20 minutes to charge a fully exhausted battery.  
The battery cannot be charged when the charge lamp quickly flashes green,  
possibly due to one of the reasons described below.  
- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.  
- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.  
- The battery is damaged.  
2
Disconnect the Charging AC Adapter from the electrical  
outlet and then disconnect the USB cable.

B Notes About the USB Cable  
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.  
Make sure that the plugs are properly oriented. Do not insert or remove the plugs  
at an angle when connecting or disconnecting them.  
B Notes About Charging the Battery  
Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other  
than Charging AC Adapter EH-71P/EH-71PCH, 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.  
C Charging Using a Computer or Battery Charger  
You can also charge the battery by connecting the camera to a computer.  
You can use the Battery Charger MH-65 (available separately) to charge the battery  
without using the camera.

Opening and Adjusting the Angle of the  
Monitor  
Changing the orientation of the monitor is useful when shooting with the  
camera in a high or a low position, or when taking selfies.  
For normal shooting, fold the monitor against the camera body with the screen  
facing out (3).  
When you are not using or carrying the camera, fold  
the monitor against the camera body with the screen  
facing inward to prevent scratches or contamination.  
B Notes About the Monitor  
When moving the monitor, do not apply excessive force and turn slowly within the  
monitor’s adjustable range so that the connection will not be damaged.

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies  
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing  
remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. 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

the camera enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The  
camera turns off after remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.  
To turn the monitor back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an  
operation such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.  
C When Using a Tripod  
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:  
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode set to W (off)  
- When the zoom is at a telephoto position  
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Photo VR to Off  
in the setup menu (A54) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.

A, B, C, D Modes (Setting the Exposure  
for Shooting)  
Images can be shot with greater control by  
setting the shutter speed or aperture value  
manually. Settings can also be adjusted to suit  
the shooting conditions and the type of shot you  
want to capture.  
You can change how the camera selects the  
area of the frame to focus on by changing the  
AF area mode setting (A50).  
When Target finding AF (default setting) is used, the camera detects the  
main subject and focuses on it. If a human face is detected, the camera  
automatically sets focus priority on it.  
Rotate the command dial or multi selector to set the shutter speed and  
aperture value.

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.

C The Control Range of the Shutter Speed  
The control range of the shutter speed differs depending on the zoom position,  
aperture, or the ISO sensitivity setting.  
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.

B Notes About Shooting  
When zooming is performed after the exposure is set, exposure combinations or  
aperture value may be changed.  
When the subject is too dark or too bright, it may not be possible to obtain the  
appropriate exposure. In such cases, the shutter speed indicator or aperture value  
indicator flashes (in A, B, and C modes), or the exposure indicator is displayed in  
red (in D mode) when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Change the  
shutter speed setting or aperture value.  
B Notes About ISO Sensitivity  
When ISO sensitivity (A49) is set to Auto (default setting), ISO 125-400 or ISO  
125-800, the ISO sensitivity in D mode is fixed at ISO 125.

Not available in shooting modes B and D, and in some scene modes.  
C The Flash Mode Setting  
With some shooting modes, the selectable flash modes may vary, or the flash  
mode settings may not be available.  
For shooting modes A, B, C and D, the setting is saved in the camera’s memory  
even after the camera is turned off.  
C Auto with Red-eye Reduction/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 some situations.  
In 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 picture again.

When the camera detects which direction it

Shooting ends when the camera captures  
the specified shooting range.  
Focus and exposure are locked until  
shooting ends.  
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 Normal is selected)  
or within about 30 seconds (when  
Wide 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 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 is displayed in 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 Notes About Location Data Functions  
Before using the location data functions, read “<Important> Notes About Location  
It takes a few minutes to perform positioning for the 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.  
Using the latest A-GPS file can shorten the time needed for obtaining the location  
data (E87).  
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  
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 when positioning for the location data was performed can be recorded  
on the images, but it cannot 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  
function will continue to operate during log recording (E39) even after the  
camera is turned off.  
When Record location data is set to On or during log recording, the battery  
power will drain faster than usual.

C Points of Interest (POI) Information  
POI information is location name information for landmarks (facilities) and  
other details.  
When Display POI in Points of interest  
menu is set to On, the nearest location name  
information for the current position is  
displayed during shooting (only when  
positioning is performed).

Display POI is set to On during playback.  
The location name information may not be displayed depending on the  
setting level in Level of detail of Points of interest (POI). Also, certain  
landmark names may not be registered, or the landmark name may be  
different.  
C Images with Recorded Location Data  
The z icon is displayed during playback for images which have the location data  
recorded (A5).  
The location data recorded on an image can be checked on a map with ViewNX 2  
after transferring the image to a computer (E58).  
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 (E87). The erased information  
cannot be recovered.

Notes About Movie Recording  
B Notes About Saving Images or Movies  
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing  
the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. 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 Recorded Movies  
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, colored  
stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows,  
etc.) 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 (E81) 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 Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording  
Autofocus may not perform as expected (E17). 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) button to start  
recording, and then modify the composition.

B Notes About Capturing 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 recording time is less than five seconds  
- When Movie options is set to Z 1080/60i, U 1080/50i, g 480/30p,  
W 480/25p, or HS movie  
The frames of a movie that were recorded when a still image was being captured  
may not play back smoothly.  
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.

Caring for the Product  
Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For  
Your Safety” (Avii-ix) when using or storing the device.  
The Camera  
Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera  
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition,  
do not touch or apply force to the lens or lens cover.  
Keep Dry  
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.  
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.  
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. Doing so could result in loss of data or  
camera malfunction.  
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 the image sensor to  
deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs.  
Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power  
Source or 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.

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.  
Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause 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.  
The Battery  
Precautions for Use  
Note that the battery may become hot after use.  
Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C  
(104°F) as this could cause damage or malfunction.  
If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell  
coming from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or  
Nikon-authorized service representative.  
After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the  
battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.  
Charging the Battery  
Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if  
necessary.  
Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to  
95°F) before use.  
A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or  
completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may  
become hot after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging.  
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).  
Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in  
reduced battery performance.  
The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a  
malfunction.  
Carrying Spare Batteries  
Whenever possible, carry fully charged spare batteries when taking pictures on  
important occasions.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
F3  
   
Using the Battery When Cold  
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is  
used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a  
warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover  
some of its charge.  
Battery Terminals  
Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery  
terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.  
Charging an Exhausted Battery  
Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera may  
result in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.  
Storing the Battery  
Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is  
not being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in  
the camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and  
complete loss of function.  
Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it  
before returning it to storage.  
Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place.  
The battery should be stored in a dry 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.  
Battery Life  
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  
battery.  
Recycling Used Batteries  
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.  
The Charging AC Adapter  
The Charging AC Adapter EH-71P/EH-71PCH is for use only with compatible  
devices. Do not use with another make or model of device.  
Do not use any 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/EH-71PCH, 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/EH-71PCH is compatible with AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets.  
When using in other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as necessary.  
For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency.

Memory Cards  
Precautions for Use  
Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See “Approved Memory Cards” (F19) for  
recommended memory cards.  
Be sure to follow the precautions described in the documentation included with  
the memory card.  
Do not put labels or stickers on memory cards.  
Formatting  
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. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish  
to keep before formatting the memory card.  
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 that you  
do not want to delete, select No. Copy the necessary data to a computer, etc. If you  
want to format the memory card, select Yes. The confirmation dialog will be  
displayed. To start formatting, press the kbutton.  
Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to or  
deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure to  
observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the camera  
or memory card:  
- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the battery  
or memory card.  
- Turn off the camera.  
- Disconnect the AC adapter.
