C 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 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 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

• Place the camera on a flat, level surface or use a tripod (recommended).
• The E is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity to minimize blur caused
by slow shutter speed. 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.
• 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.

• Food mode: W Off (locked)
• Smile mode: U Auto
• Time-laps movie mode: U Auto
In A (Auto) mode, the changed flash mode setting is stored even if the camera is turned off.
C Red-eye Reduction
The COOLPIX S560 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 when shutter-release timing is essential.
• 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
In A (Auto) mode, the exposure compensation value is stored even if the camera is turned off.
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 are required to 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.

E ISO Sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating
is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity
is often associated with “noise” - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels
concentrated in dark parts of the image.
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 64 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800.
64,100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000, 3200

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 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.

Caring for the Camera
C The Battery
• Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and charge the battery if necessary. Do not
continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in reduced battery
performance. If 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.
• When recharging, the ambient temperature should be in the vicinity of 5 to 35 °C (41 to 95 °F).
• The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
Charging times may increase at battery temperatures from 0 °C to 10 °C (32 °F to 50 °F) and from
45 °C to 60 °C (113 °F to 140 °F).
• 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.
• 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.
• While the battery is in storage, charge it at least once every six months and then use the camera to
run it flat again before storing it in a cool location.
• Always remove the battery from the camera or battery charger when it is not being used. Left
installed, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become
excessively drained and no longer function.
• After removing the battery from the camera or battery charger, place it in the supplied battery
case 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-EL11 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.

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.

Caring for the Camera
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Check 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 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.

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

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
