C Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”).
To reduce red-eye, a series of low-intensity pre-flashes fire before the main flash. In addition, if the
camera detects red-eye when a picture is taken, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye
before the picture is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
• Due to the pre-flashes, there is a longer than usual interval between the time the shutter-release
button is pressed and the time the shutter is released.
• More time than usual is required to record pictures.
• 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 red-eye reduction
processing; in these cases, choose another flash mode and try again.

A Image Mode (Image Quality/Image Size)
Image mode refers to the combination of image size and image quality
(compression) at which pictures are recorded. Choose the image mode best
suited to the manner in which pictures will be used and the capacity of the
internal memory or memory card. The higher the image mode setting, the larger
the size at which it can be printed or displayed without appearing noticeably
“grainy,” but limiting the number of pictures that can be recorded.

The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing
capturing darker subjects.
Also, a higher sensitivity allows higher shutter speeds, resulting in the picture with
less camera shake and subject blur in comparison to the same subject taken under
the same brightness.
• Although high ISO sensitivity settings are suited to pictures of subjects taken
under dim lighting, those taken without flash, or those taken at telephoto
setting, high sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise”- randomly
spaced, brightly colored pixels- concentrated in dark portions of images.

w White Balance (Adjusting Hue)
A (auto) M Tap the bottom tab M w 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 colors, 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, the white balance setting suited to a
particular light source can be specified manually to achieve more accurate results.

the vibration reduction function, or the aperture control when the brightness changes.
Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when recording
movies is recommended.
• When recording or playing back movies, colored stripes (interference patterns or moiré) may
appear on subjects that have a regular, repeating grid, such as pattern of weave in cloths or
windows in a building, depending on the shooting distance or zoom ratio. This phenomenon
occurs when the subject’s pattern interferes with the camera sensor grid, and it does not indicate
a malfunction.

• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some
situations.
• Image processing with electronic vibration reduction may not perform as expected with very
slight or extreme camera shake, even when On (hybrid) is selected.
• Image processing with electronic vibration reduction is not enabled at fast or extremely slow
shutter speeds, even when On (hybrid) is selected.

Tips: Projecting PowerPoint Presentations with
the Camera Alone
Save Microsoft PowerPoint® files in JPEG format, copy them to the memory card, and use
the camera to project them.
1
In PowerPoint, save a PowerPoint file with a different name in JPEG format.
•
A new folder with the same name as the renamed file is created, and a JPEG file for
each slide of the PowerPoint document is saved in the new folder.
Be sure to use PowerPoint to save the file with a new name. Refer to the PowerPoint
Help documentation for more information on saving files with new names and in
different formats.
•
2
Change the name of the folder and JPEG files.
1
•
Folder name: three-digit single-byte number + five-character single-byte alphabetic
2
string
e.g. “105USERS”
JPEG file name: FSCN + four-digit single-byte number
3
•
e.g. “FSCN0001.jpg,” “FSCN0002.jpg,” etc.
1. Use a three-digit number that is one higher than the highest number used for existing
subfolders in the DCIM folder described in step 3. The “105” in the example above is
used when “104” is the highest number in the names of existing subfolders.
2. “NIKON” cannot be used as the five-character single-byte alphabetic string.
3. The JPEG files can be projected in the same order as the slides in the PowerPoint
presentation if their four-digit single-byte file numbers are placed in the same order.
3
4
Using the card reader, open the memory card4 folder on the computer
desktop.
•
Open the DCIM folder and copy the folder containing the JPEG files created in step 2
into it.
•
Additional JPEG files created from PowerPoint files can be added to the folders
containing the JPEG files. (However, only the files can be added to these folders. The
folders containing the files cannot be placed in these folders.)
When removing the memory card from the computer, remove the removable disk first
and then remove the memory card.
•
4. Use a memory card that has been formatted or used for shooting at least once with the
COOLPIX S1100pj.
Insert the memory card into the camera, turn on the camera, and press the
P button.
•
The camera’s built-in projector operates the same as normal when projecting
PowerPoint documents converted to JPEG format.
C Notes on Playing Back PowerPoint Documents (JPEG Files)
• PowerPoint animations cannot be projected.
• In thumbnail playback mode, PowerPoint documents are displayed as black thumbnails.

Caring for the Camera
Maximizing Camera Life and Performance
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, projector window, and all moving parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, projector window, 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 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 remove the battery 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.

Maximizing Camera Life and Performance
C 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). Failure
to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance.
• 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 and 10 °C (32 to 50 °F) or 45 to 60 °C (113 to
140 °F), the chargeable capacity may decrease. The battery will not charge if its temperature is
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.
• 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 to
25 °C (59 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 battery charger, replace the supplied terminal
cover and store 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.

Cleaning
Avoid touching the lens/projector window 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

Body
lens/projector window with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the
center of them and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean them using a
cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.
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.
Use a blower to remove dust, dirt or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth. After using the camera at the beach or other sandy or dusty
environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened
with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the
camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Be sure that the power-on lamp is off before
putting the camera away. 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.
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.
• White or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor. This
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor; it is
characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also take the form
of partial discoloration in the monitor during shooting. It does not appear in images recorded with
the camera except in the cases of movies and of images recorded with Multi-shot 16 selected for
Continuous. When shooting in these modes, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such
as the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.
• 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.

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.
