Information and Precautions
Notice Concerning Prohibition of Copying or Reproduction
Note that simply being in possession of material that was digitally copied or reproduced by means
of a scanner, digital camera or other device may be punishable by law.
• Items prohibited by law from being copied or reproduced
Do not copy or reproduce paper money, coins, securities, government bonds or local government
bonds, even if such copies or reproductions are stamped “Sample.” The copying or reproduction
of paper money, coins, or securities which are circulated in a foreign country is prohibited. Unless
the prior permission of the government was obtained, the copying or reproduction of unused
postage stamps or post cards issued by the government is prohibited. The copying or
reproduction of stamps issued by the government and of certified documents stipulated by law is
prohibited.
• Cautions on certain copies and reproductions
The government has issued cautions on copies or reproductions of securities issued by private
companies (shares, bills, checks, gift certificates, etc.), commuter passes or coupon tickets, except
when a minimum of necessary copies are to be provided for business use by a company. Also, do
not copy or reproduce passports issued by the government, licenses issued by public agencies
and private groups, ID cards and tickets, such as passes and meal coupons.
• Comply with copyright notices
The copying or reproduction of copyrighted creative works such as books, music, paintings,

infringe copyright laws.
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or built-
in camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes
be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially
resulting in the malicious use of personal 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 format 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
property when physically destroying data storage devices.

If possible, digital zoom will create a picture by cropping the area visible in the monitor to the
smaller than the current image mode, additional pixels are added through a process known as
interpolation, creating a slightly “grainy” image. The amount of zoom available before interpolation
is used depends on the option currently selected for image mode, as shown in the following table.

Step 3 Focus and Shoot
B Autofocus
Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject
may not be in focus despite the fact that the active focus area and the focus indicator glow green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun is behind the subject
and is in deep shadow)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. when the subject is standing in front of a
white wall, wearing a white shirt)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)
• 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 and use focus lock. When using focus lock, be sure that the
distance between the camera and the subject with which focus was locked is the same as that for
the actual subject.
D Focus Lock
To focus on off-center subject, use focus lock as described blow.
• Be sure that the distance between the camera and the subject does not change while focus is
locked.

Using the Flash
B The W (Off) Indicator
Note the following when lighting is poor and the flash is off (W):
• Place the camera on a flat, level surface or use a tripod (recommended).
• The E symbol is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken
when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.
B Note on Using the Flash
When using the flash at a wide-angle zoom position, reflections from dust particles in the air may
appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash to W (Off) or zoom in on
the subject.
C The Flash Lamp
The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shutter-
release button is pressed halfway.
Flash lamp
• On: Flash will fire when picture is taken.
• Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try
again.
• Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken.
After the picture is taken with flash, the monitor turns
off and the flash lamp blinks until the flash is
completely charged. You can set the monitor not to turn off automatically while the flash is charged
C The Flash Mode Setting
The default setting is U (auto). (except for the one-touch portrait mode and a part of Scene
mode)
In any flash mode other than A (auto) mode, switching to another shooting mode or turning the
camera off restores the default flash setting for all modes.
C Red-eye Reduction
The COOLPIX L14 is equipped with an advanced red-eye reduction system. Pre-flashes are fired
several times at low intensity before the main flash, to reduce “red-eye.” If the camera detects “red-
eye” after a picture is taken, Nikon’s own In-Camera Red Eye Fix processes the image as it is recorded.
Therefore, there is a slight delay before the shutter-release button operates normally to take another
picture. Note the following when using red-eye reduction:
• Not recommended for when shutter-release timing is essential.
• It takes a longer time than usual to start the next shooting.
• Red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results.
• In some rare cases, other portions of pictures may be affected.
Use flash modes other than auto with red-eye reduction in above cases.

C Exposure Compensation Value
Switching to another shooting mode or turning the camera off returns exposure compensation
setting other than that for A (auto) mode to [0.0].
D Using Exposure Compensation
The camera tends to lower exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects and to
increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark. Positive compensation may therefore be required
to capture the brilliancy of very bright objects that fill the frame (for example, sunlit expanses of
water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main subject. Negative
compensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects (for
example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main
subject.

B White 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 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], 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.

Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when using or storing the device.
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 charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment
such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data stored 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.
B Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source
Do not unplug the product or remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are
being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data
or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption of
power, avoid carrying the product from one place to another while an AC adapter is connected.

Caring for the Camera
C Batteries
• Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and replace the batteries if necessary (A 18).
If possible, carry spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh 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.
• Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local
regulations.

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 blower, wipe the lens with a soft
cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working
toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened
with commercial lens cleaner.
Lens
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains,
clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.
Monitor
Body
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 seaside, wipe off any sand or salt
with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly. Note
that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the
warranty.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is off before
putting the camera away. Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for
an extended period. Do not store the camera with naptha 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)
• Poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60 %
To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month.
Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera
away again.
C Notes on 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 recorded using the
product will not be affected.
• When framing bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may
appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as “smear,” does not appear in the final
photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.
• 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.

Troubleshooting
Electronically Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the camera may stop
functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static charge. Turn the
camera off, remove and replace the battery, then turn the camera on again. In the event of
continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative. Note that
disconnecting the power source as described above may result in the loss of any data not recorded
to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded
will not be affected.
