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 that 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,  
woodcut prints, maps, drawings, movies and photographs is governed by national and  
international copyright laws. Do not use this product for the purpose of making illegal copies or to  
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  
pictures selected for the welcome screen (A 96). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to  
property when physically destroying data storage devices.

fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash,  
and microphone.  
2
Frame the picture.  
Shooting mode icon  
When the camera determines a scene mode, the  
shooting mode icon changes (A 28).  
When the camera detects a human face, that face is  
framed by a yellow double border. Up to 12 faces can  
be detected. When the camera detects more than one  
face, the face closest to the camera is framed by a  
double border and the others by single borders.  
1144  
When shooting non-human subjects or when no faces  
are detected, the camera will focus on the center of the monitor. Position the main  
subject near the center of the focus area.

When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom magnification,  
rotating and holding the zoom control at g triggers digital zoom. Digital zoom can  
magnify the subject up to about 4× beyond the magnification of the optical  
zoom.  
When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed and the camera focuses  
at the center of the frame.  
Maximum optical zoom  
Digital zoom is in effect.  
C Digital Zoom and Interpolation  
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magnify  
images, resulting in slight deterioration of image quality.  
Interpolation is applied when shooting still images at zoom positions beyond V.  
When zoom is increased beyond the V position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator  
turns yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied.  
The position of V moves to the right as image size decreases, allowing you to confirm the zoom  
positions at which still images can be captured without interpolation using the current image mode  
setting.

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 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 the subject is in deep shadow)  
No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. when the subject is wearing a white shirt  
and 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)  
Subject is moving rapidly  
In these situations, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway again to refocus, several times if  
necessary. If the subject is still not in focus, select auto mode and use focus lock (A 48) to take the  
picture by first focusing on an object that is the same distance from the camera as the desired  
subject.

Notes on Face Detection  
The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including  
whether or not the subject is facing the camera. The camera may be unable to  
detect faces in the following situations:  
-
-
When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions  
When faces take up too much or too little of the frame  
When there are multiple people in the frame, the face on which the camera  
focuses depends on a variety of shooting conditions, such as whether or not the  
subject is facing the camera.  
In some cases, including those noted in “Autofocus” (A 25), autofocus may not  
perform as expected, and the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that  
the double border glows green. When the camera is unable to focus, use  
another mode, such as A (auto) mode, focus on another subject positioned at  
the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus  
lock (A 48).

Using the Flash  
In dark locations or when the subject is backlit, you can shoot pictures with flash  
by raising the built-in flash.  
The flash has a range of about 0.5 to 5.5 m (1 ft 8 in. to 18 ft) when the camera is  
zoomed out all the way, and about 1.5 to 3.5 m (5 ft to 11 ft) when the camera is  
zoomed in all the way.  
If the built-in flash is raised when using easy auto mode (A 20), the camera  
automatically sets a flash mode according to the determined scene mode.  
When the built-in flash is lowered, the flash setting changes to off and W is  
displayed at the top of the monitor.  
Selecting a Flash Mode  
When using Auto mode (A 48), certain scene modes (A 35), or smart portrait  
mode (A 44), the following flash modes are available.

B Lowering the Built-in Flash  
Push the built-in flash down gently to lower the built-in flash when not in use (A 6).  
B Shooting When Lighting Is Poor and the Flash Is Disabled (W)  
Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of  
camera shake. Set Vibration reduction (A 103) to Off when using a tripod.  
The E is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity to minimize blur caused  
by slow shutter speed. Images taken when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.  
B Note on Using the Flash  
When using the flash, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in images.  
To reduce these reflections, set the flash to W (off).  
C The Flash Lamp

Flash cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. Camera Settings that Cannot Be Set at  
When the shooting mode is A (auto) mode (A 48), the changed flash setting is saved even if the  
camera is turned off.  
C Red-eye Reduction  
This camera is equipped with an advanced red-eye reduction system.  
Pre-flashes are fired several times at low intensity before the main flash to reduce the effects of red-  
eye.  
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 saved.  
Note the following when using red-eye reduction:  
Because pre-flashes are fired before the picture is taken, there is a slight lag between when the  
shutter-release button is pressed and when the picture is shot.  
The time required to save images increases slightly.  
Red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results.  
In some rare cases, other portions of images may be affected. Use flash modes other than auto  
with red-eye reduction in the above cases.

14  
C Exposure Compensation Value  
When shooting mode is A (auto) mode (A 48), the exposure compensation setting is saved even  
if the camera is turned off.  
D Using Exposure Compensation  
The camera tends to reduce 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.

Shooting Continuously at High Speed (Sport Continuous)  
B Notes on Sport Continuous Shooting  
It may take some time to save the images after shooting. The time it takes to save the images  
depends on the number of shots taken, the image mode, the memory card’s write speed, etc.  
Because the ISO sensitivity is set to 640 or higher, images may appear rough as a result. Proper  
exposure may not be obtained in clear weather (images may be overexposed).  
Smear (A 119) visible in the monitor when shooting with sport continuous will be visible in the  
saved image data. To reduce smear effects, avoid bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the  
sun, and electric lights when shooting.  
When shooting under lights that have a high flicker rate, such as fluorescent or mercury lights,  
exposure and white balance may differ from image to image.  
The shutter speed is set automatically within the range of 1/8000 s to 1/15 s.  
The speed of continuous shooting may be slower depending on shutter speed settings and the  
write speed of the memory card.  
When using sport continuous mode, the camera focuses continuously until the shutter-release  
button is pressed halfway to lock the focus. A sound will be heard while the camera focuses.

B White Balance (Adjusting hue)  
Set to A (auto) mode (A 48) M d (Shooting menu) M 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”.  
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.

White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in

E ISO Sensitivity  
Set to A (auto) mode (A 48) M d (Shooting menu) M 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 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is  
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800.  
80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400  
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.  
When ISO sensitivity is locked, Motion detection (A 104) does not function.  
The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A 8). When Auto is  
selected, the E icon is not displayed at ISO 80, but is displayed if the ISO  
sensitivity automatically increases to more than 80 (A 30).

Movie Recording and Playback  
Recording Movies  
You can use the camera to record movies with sound.  
The maximum file size for a single movie is 4 GB and the maximum movie length  
for a single movie is 29 minutes, even when there is sufficient free space on the  
memory card for longer recording (A 77).

Turn the camera on and display the shooting  
mode screen.  
Movies can be recorded in any shooting mode  
The current movie options setting is displayed. The  
default setting is HD720p (1280×720) (A 77).

briefly.  
The camera focuses on the subject in the  
center of the frame. The focus area is not

When Movie options is set to x HD720p  
(1280×720), the aspect ratio is 16:9 and the movie is  
recorded as shown on the right.  
Digital zoom cannot be used while recording movies. If  
digital zoom is used before recording, it will be

Recording Movies  
B Recording Movies  
When recording movies, we recommend using a memory card with a Class 6 or higher speed class  
rating ( 120). When using a memory card with a low speed class, recording may stop unexpectedly.  
When recording movies, the angle of view (field of view) is smaller than when shooting still images.  
Digital zoom cannot be used while recording movies.  
Operation sounds from the time of recording (the zoom control being rotated, the lens zooming,  
the autofocus, etc.) may be heard when playing back movies.  
Smear (A 119) visible in the monitor when recording will be visible in the saved image data. To  
reduce smear effects, avoid bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights  
when recording movie.  
B Autofocus  
When Autofocus mode in the movie menu is set to A Single AF (default setting), focus is  
locked when the b (movie-record) button is pressed and recording starts (A 78).  
Autofocus may not perform as expected in certain situations (A 25). Try using the following  
methods in these situations.  
1. Before recording, set Autofocus mode to A Single AF (default setting) in the movie menu.  
2. Aim the camera at another subject that is positioned the same distance from the camera as the  
desired subject, press the b (movie-record) button to start recording, then aim the camera at  
the desired subject.  
B While the Camera Is Saving Movies  
When movie recording stops, the movie is not completely saved until the shooting screen is  
displayed. Do not open the battery-chamber / memory card slot cover if the movie has not yet been  
completely saved. Removing the memory card or the battery while a movie is being saved may  
result in loss of the movie data or damage to the camera or the memory card.  
C Functions Available in Movie Mode  
When the shooting mode is set to A (auto) mode (A 48), the current settings for white balance  
(A 53) and color options (A 57) are used when recording movies.  
When the shooting mode is set to any mode other than A (auto) mode, White balance is set to  
Auto and Color options is set to Standard color when recording movies. Movies are recorded  
in color even when scene mode is set to Copy.  
The current exposure compensation setting is used when recording movies. If macro mode is  
enabled before the b (movie-record) button is pressed, the camera can record movies of subjects  
that are close to the camera.  
When using the self-timer, the camera waits for 10 seconds after the b (movie-record) button is  
pressed, then focuses and begins recording.  
Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.  
When recording movies, electronic vibration reduction is used automatically to reduce the effects  
of camera shake.  
To change the settings for Movie options or Autofocus mode, press d before recording to  
display the D (movie) tab (A 75).

The movie bitrate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. As a variable bitrate  
(VBR) system has been adopted, the movie recording rate varies automatically according to  
the subject so that more data is recorded per second for movies containing frequently  
moving subjects, thus increasing movie file size.  
The frame rate is approximately 30 frames per second in any options.

g Vibration Reduction  
Press the d button M z (Setup menu) (A 93) M g Vibration reduction

zooming or at slow shutter speeds. Set vibration reduction to Off when using a  
tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.  
V
On (hybrid)  
Image-sensor shift vibration reduction reduces the effects of camera shake.  
Additionally, electronic vibration reduction is used to process images and remove  
the effects of camera shake in the following situations.

When a shutter speed slower than 1/60 seconds is used  
When Self-timer is disabled  
When Continuous is set to Single  
When ISO sensitivity is set to 200 or less  
g
On (default setting)  
Image-sensor shift vibration reduction reduces the effects of camera shake.  
Off  
Vibration reduction is not used.  
The vibration reduction setting can be confirmed in the monitor during shooting  
(A 8, 21) (When it is set to Off, no icon is displayed).  
B Notes on Vibration reduction  
Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the power is turned on, or the camera  
enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.  
Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed on the camera’s  
monitor immediately after shooting may appear blurry.  
Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shaking in some situations.  
When set to On (hybrid), electronic vibration reduction may not reduce the effects of camera  
shake if the amount of vibration is very small or very large.  
When set to On (hybrid), electronic vibration reduction does not function if shutter speed is fast  
or very slow.  
When set to On (hybrid), the camera automatically releases the shutter two times for each shot  
and processes the image, therefore it takes more time to save captured images. The Shutter  
sound (A 105) will be heard only once. Only one image is saved.  
D Using Vibration Reduction with Movies  
When recording movies, electronic vibration reduction is used automatically to reduce the effects of  
camera shake.

Notes on Camera Care and General Usage  
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, 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 image sensor, producing a white  
blur effect in photographs.  
B Keep away from strong magnetic fields  
Do not use or save 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 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.  
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 saved 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  
After purchasing replacement rechargeable batteries, charge them before use. They are not fully  
charged at the time of purchase.  
Be sure to read and follow the information found in “Optional Accessories” (A 120) and in the  
documentation included with the Battery Charger MH-73 (available separately).  
Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and replace the batteries if necessary (A 20).  
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.

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 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)  
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 saved 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 indicate a malfunction.  
In shooting modes other than Sport continuous mode, Multi-shot 16 and movie mode, smear has  
no effect on the images that are saved.  
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.  
C Notes on Smear  
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.

File number (assigned automatically in  
ascending order, starting with “0001”)  
Files are saved in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-  
character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for images taken  
using panorama assist (e.g. “101P_001”; A 42) and “NIKON” for all other images  
(e.g. “100NIKON”). When the number of files within a folder reaches 9999, a new  
folder will be created. File numbers will be assigned automatically starting with  
“0001”.  
Files copied using Copy > Selected images are copied to the current folder,  
where they are assigned new file numbers in ascending order starting from the  
largest file number in memory. Copy > All images copies all folders from the  
source medium; file names do not change but new folder numbers are  
assigned in ascending order, starting from the largest folder number on the  
destination medium (A 114).  
Folders can hold up to 200 images; if an image is taken when the current folder  
contains 200 images, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current  
folder number. If an image is taken when the current folder is numbered 999  
and contains 200 images or an image numbered 9999, no further images can be  
taken until the medium is formatted (A 107) or a new memory card inserted.
