The ISO sensitivity is controlled automatically to a high
level. This allows you to capture the atmosphere of a
low-lit scene and shoot pictures with a low amount of
noise without using the flash. It also reduces the effects
of camera shake and subject movement when shooting
at the telephoto zoom position.
• The ISO sensitivity is set automatically within the range of ISO 400 to 12800.
• To use the flash, raise the flash.
• The focus area for autofocus differs depending on the setting of AF area mode
that can be selected in the Otab after pressing the dbutton.
• When AF area mode is set to Auto (default setting), the camera has nine focus
areas, and automatically selects the focus areas containing the subject closest to
the camera. When the subject is in focus, the focus area (active focus area) lights
in green (maximum of nine areas).

C Auto with Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”).
Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect.
If the camera detects “red-eye” when a picture is taken, Nikon’s own In-Camera Red-Eye Fix processes
the image before it is recorded.
Note the following when taking pictures:
•
Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release button is
pressed and when the picture is shot.
•
•
•
The time required to save the picture increases slightly.
Advanced red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye

You can set the JPEG image size (amount of pixels) for pictures recorded with an
image quality of Fine, Normal or Basic.
The larger the image, the larger the size at which it can be printed or displayed
without becoming noticeably “grainy,” limiting the number of pictures that can be
recorded.
Conversely, small image sizes are suitable for pictures attached to e-mails or used

cWhite Balance (Matching Image Colors with Colors as
Seen with the Naked Eye)
balance
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source.
The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with
the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct
sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this
adjustment of the human eye by processing images according to the color of the
light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural coloration, choose a
white balance setting that matches the light source before shooting.
Although the default setting, Auto (normal), can be used under most types of
lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source
to achieve more accurate results.

C Color Temperature
The perceived color of a light source varies with the viewer and other conditions. Color temperature
is an objective measure of the color of a light source, defined with reference to the temperature to
which an object would have to be heated to radiate light in the same wavelengths. While light
sources with a color temperature in the neighborhood of 5000–5500K appear white, light sources
with a lower color temperature, such as incandescent light bulbs, appear slightly yellow or red. Light
sources with a higher color temperature appear tinged with blue. The camera white balance options
are adapted to the following color temperatures.

• Before using Speedlights SB-600, SB-700, SB-800 or SB-900, set the Speedlight flash control mode
to TTL. This enables the Standard i-TTL flash control to use monitor pre-flashes to adjust flash
output automatically in response to lighting conditions. Refer to the instruction manual of your
Speedlight for more information on i-TTL flash control.
• Wireless multiple flash-unit photography can be performed by setting the SB-700, SB-800, SB-900
or Wireless Speedlight Commander SU-800 to “commander,” and setting the SB-600, SB-700, SB-
800 and SB-900 to “remote flash unit.” However, the flash is not usable even if the monitor pre-
flashes are fired when the SB-900 is set to “commander.”
The Wireless multiple flash group setting is only applicable to group A. Change the setting for
both the commander and the remote flash unit to group A. Refer to the instruction manual of your
Speedlight for more information.
• When wireless multiple flash-unit photography is performed, if ISO sensitivity is set to Auto, High
ISO sensitivity auto, ISO 100-200 or ISO 100-400, it is fixed at ISO 100.
• The camera does not support Flash Color Information Communication, Auto FP High-Speed Sync,
FV lock, or AF-assist for multi-area AF when using Speedlights SB-600, SB-700, SB-800 or SB-900.
• Power zoom function can be used with Speedlights SB-600, SB-700, SB-800 or SB-900, setting
zoom head position automatically depending upon focal length.
• When using Speedlights SB-600, SB-700, SB-800 or SB-900, the edges of pictures shot at ranges
under 2 m (6 ft 7 in.) on the zoom wide-angle position may appear dark. In such cases, use the
wide-flash adapter.
• When set to STBY (standby), the Speedlight turns on and off at the same time as the camera.
Confirm on the Speedlight that the Ready-light is on.

Technical Notes and Index
Caring for the Products
The Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when using or storing the device.
thoroughly before using the products.
B Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
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 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 CCD image sensor, producing a
white blur effect in photographs.
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 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.

Caring for the Products
B The Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic
common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images saved using the
product will not be affected.
• White or colored streaks of light may be visible on the monitor with framing of bright subjects.
This phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor.
This is due to characteristics of the image sensor and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may
also cause partial discoloration on monitor display with shooting. Smear does not affect recorded
images except when shooting with Continuous set to Multi-shot 16 and when recording movies.
When shooting in these modes, avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and
electric lights is recommended.
• Images on 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
thoroughly before using the battery.
• 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 pictures 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. Be sure that the
battery is fully charged before heading outside to take pictures 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.

Caring for the Products
• If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat
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 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. When the battery level is
low, be sure to charge the battery before using it.
• 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 battery charger, attach the
included terminal cover to the battery 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-EL14 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.
The Battery Charger
thoroughly before using the battery charger.
• The included Battery Charger is for use only with a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
EN-EL14.
• The MH-24 is compatible with AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When
using in other countries, use a commercially available plug adapter as necessary.
For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency.

Caring for the Products
The Memory Cards
• Be sure to observe the precautions in the memory card documentation when
you use the memory card.
• Do not affix labels or stickers to the memory card.
• Do not format the memory card using a computer.
• When a memory card is used for the first time, it is recommended to format it with
this camera. In particular, 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.
• Formatting permanently deletes all data in the memory card. Be sure to transfer
important pictures to a computer before formatting.
• If the error message “Card is not formatted. Format card?” is displayed when you
insert a memory card into this camera, the memory card must be formatted. If
the memory card contains images you wish to keep, select No and save those
images on your computer before formatting the memory card. To format the
card, select Yes and 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 loss of data or damage to the
memory card:
-
Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove the battery or
memory card.
-
-
Turn off the camera
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,
oily substances, or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, carefully
wipe the lens with a dry soft cloth or eyewear cleaning cloth, using a spiral
motion that starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges. Do
not wipe the lens forcibly or with a hard material. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage or trouble. If this fails, clean the lens using a
cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Do not use volatile organic solvents such as alcohol or thinner, chemical
detergents, anticorrosive agents, or anti-fogging agents.
Storage
Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period. Do not
store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, or in any of the following
locations:
• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
• Exposed to temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above 50°C (122°F)
• Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%
To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month.
