• If the battery is low, the monitor turns off while the flash charges.
C Effective Range of the Flash
When ISO sensitivity is set to Auto, the flash has a range of 0.5–4.1 m (1 ft 8 in.–13 ft) at the
maximum wide-angle zoom position and a range of 1.0–2.1 m (3 ft 4 in.–7 ft 1 in.) at the maximum
telephoto zoom position.

Reduce red-eye in portraits caused by the flash.
Off
Flash does not fire even when lighting is dim.

We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in dim lighting.
X
Fill flash
Flash fires whenever an image is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit
subjects.
Y
Slow sync
Auto flash mode is combined with slow shutter speed. Suited to evening and night
portraits that include background scenery. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter
speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim lighting.
C Flash Mode Setting
• The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off.
C Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). If the camera detects “red eye”
while saving an image, the affected area will be processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• 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.
54
Using the Self-timer
The camera is equipped with a self-timer that releases the shutter ten seconds or two
seconds after you press the shutter-release button. The self-timer is useful when you want to
be in the image you are taking, and when you want to avoid the effects of camera shake that
occur when you press the shutter-release button. When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is
recommended.

Focusing
This camera uses autofocus to focus automatically when shooting. The focus area varies
depending on the shooting mode. Here, we will explain how to use focus areas and focus
lock.
AF Area
When using A (auto) mode, or when using Scene auto selector for the scene mode, the
camera performs the focus operations described below when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway.
•
If a face is detected, it is framed by the double border
indicating the active focus area. When the subject is in
focus, the double border turns green.
1/250

When taking images of people and pets together, the camera can detect a combined total of up
to 12 human and pet faces.
If the camera detects a human face and a pet face in the same shot, it focuses on the pet’s face.
68
•
When using A (auto) mode, if you press the shutter-release button halfway while no
faces are detected or while framing a shot with no faces in it, the camera selects the focus
area (up to nine areas) containing the subject closest to the camera.
When Scene auto selector is selected, the focus area changes depending on which
scene the camera selects.
If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or
Night portrait scene mode or smart portrait mode, the camera focuses on the subject at
the center of the frame.
•
•
•
In Pet portrait scene mode, the camera focuses on a pet face if one is detected. If no pet
faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.
B Notes About Face Detection Function
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in
which the faces are looking. The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on
which the camera focuses depend on a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
faces are looking.
• In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows
Center. Try refocusing on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the

B Subjects Not Suitable for 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 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)
• Regular geometric patterns (e.g. window blinds or windows on a skyscraper)
• Subject is moving rapidly
In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several
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.

White Balance (Adjusting Hue)
Select A (auto) mode Mdbutton MWhite balance Mkbutton
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 preset manual option is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources
with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance
settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images taken under a lamp with
a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light). Follow the procedure
below to measure the white balance value according to the light source when shooting.

Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting without the
flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise.

Maximizing Camera Life and Performance
The Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described
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 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.
F2
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 or
Memory Card
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.
B 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.
• 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.
F3
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 images 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 charging the battery inserted into the COOLPIX S3400 using the Charging AC Adapter
EH-70P or a computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or
above 45°C (113°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 images 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 completely exhaust it
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 optional battery charger when it is not being used.
When inserted, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become
excessively drained and no longer 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 optional battery charger, put the battery in the
included battery case 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-EL19 battery.
F4
• 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.
Charging AC Adapter
• The Charging AC Adapter EH-70P is for use only with compatible devices. Do not use with another
make or model of device.
• The EH-70P is compatible with AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When using in other
countries, use a plug adapter (available commercially) as necessary. For more information about
plug adapters, consult your travel agency.
• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than Charging
AC Adapter EH-70P or USB-AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in
overheating or in damage to the camera.
Memory Cards
information about 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.
• 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 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 date to a computer, etc. If you want to format the 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.
• Do not format the memory card using a computer.
