1. Keep the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover closed and wash  
off the camera with fresh water.  
Immerse the camera in a shallow  
basin filled with fresh water (such as  
tap water and well-water that do  
not contain salt) for 10 minutes.  
If the buttons or switches do not  
operate properly, foreign  
substances may have adhered.  
Since this could cause a  
malfunction, immerse the camera  
in fresh water and shake it  
sufficiently in the water to remove the any foreign substances from the  
camera.  
When the camera is immersed in the water, a few air bubbles may come  
out from the water drain holes of the camera such as openings in the  
microphone or speakers. This is not a malfunction.  
2. Wipe off water droplets with a soft cloth and dry the camera in the  
well-ventilated and shady place.  
Place the camera on a dry cloth to dry it.  
Water will flow out from openings in the microphone or speakers.  
Do not dry the camera with hot air from a hair dryer or clothes dryer.  
Do not use chemicals (such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, or cleanser), soap,  
or neutral detergents.  
If the waterproof packing or body of the camera becomes deformed, the  
waterproof performance will deteriorate.  
3. After making sure that there are no water droplets on the camera,  
open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and gently wipe  
off any water or sand remaining inside the camera with a dry soft  
cloth.  
If you open the cover before the camera is thoroughly dried, water  
droplets may fall on a memory card or battery.  
The water droplets may also seep inside the battery-chamber/memory  
card slot cover (in locations such as waterproof packing, hinges, memory  
card slot, or terminals).  
If that happens, wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.  
If the cover is closed when the inside is wet, this could cause condensation  
or malfunction.  
If the microphone or speaker openings are clogged with water droplets,  
the sound may deteriorate or become distorted.  
- Wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.  
- Do not puncture the microphone or speaker openings with a sharp  
implement. If the inside of the camera is damaged, the waterproof  
performance will deteriorate.

Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada  
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada  
(IC)  
Declaration of Conformity  
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-  
exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any  
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this  
device.  
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement  
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any  
other antenna or transmitter.  
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are  
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,  
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless  
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range  
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by  
heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects  
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF  
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested  
that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been  
confirmed by additional research.

Preparing for Shooting  
Insert the Battery and Memory Card  
Battery latch Memory card slot  
Press the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover latch release (1) and  
rotate the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover latch (2) to open the  
cover (3).  
With the battery’s positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move  
the orange battery latch (4), and fully insert the battery (5).  
Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (6).  
Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or  
backward, as this could cause a malfunction.  
Close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover (7) and, while pressing  
it firmly against the camera so that the red portion on the side of the cover is  
hidden, rotate the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover latch until it  
clicks into place (8).  
Make sure that the cover is securely locked.  
B Formatting a Memory Card  
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into  
this camera, make sure to format it with this camera. Insert the memory card into the  
camera, press the dbutton, and select Format card in the setup menu (A78).  
B Notes About Closing the Cover without Getting the Camera Strap  
or Cord Caught  
If the camera strap’s cord gets caught in the battery-chamber/memory card slot  
cover when it is closed, the cover could be damaged. Before closing the battery-  
chamber/memory card slot cover, make sure that the strap or cord does not get  
caught in it.

B Opening/Closing the Battery-Chamber/Memory Card Slot Cover  
Do not open and close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover in a sandy or  
dusty environment or with wet hands. If the cover is closed without removing  
foreign particles, water may seep inside the camera or the camera may become  
damaged.  
If foreign particles get inside the cover or camera, immediately remove them with a  
blower or brush.  
If liquid such as water gets inside the cover or camera, immediately wipe it off with  
a soft and dry cloth.  
Removing the Battery or Memory Card  
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and monitor have  
turned off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.  
Move the battery latch to eject the battery.  
Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory  
card.  
Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card  
immediately after using the camera, as they may become hot .  
Memory Cards and Internal Memory  
Camera data, including images and movies, can be saved either on a memory  
card or in the camera’s internal memory. To use the camera’s internal memory,  
remove the memory card.

Charge the Battery  
1
With the battery installed, connect the camera to an  
electrical outlet.  
Charge lamp  
Charging AC Adapter  
Electrical outlet  
USB cable (included)  
If a plug adapter* is included with your camera, securely connect it to the  
Charging AC Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly  
remove the plug adapter could damage the product.  
*
The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in  
which the camera was purchased. This step can be omitted if the plug  
adapter comes permanently bonded to the Charging AC Adapter.  
The charge lamp slowly flashes green to indicate that the battery is charging.  
When charging is complete, the charge lamp turns off. It takes about 2 hours  
and 20 minutes to charge a fully exhausted battery.  
The battery cannot be charged when the charge lamp quickly flashes green,  
possibly due to one of the reasons described below.  
-
-
-
The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.  
The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.  
The battery is damaged.  
2
Disconnect the Charging AC Adapter from the electrical  
outlet and then disconnect the USB cable.

B Notes About the USB Cable  
Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the  
UC-E21 could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.  
Make sure that the plugs are properly oriented. Do not insert or remove the plugs  
at an angle when connecting or disconnecting them.  
B Notes About Charging the Battery  
The camera can be operated while the battery is charging, but the charging time  
increases.  
If the battery level is extremely low, you may not be able to operate the camera  
while the battery is charging.  
Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other  
than Charging AC Adapter EH-71P/EH-71PCH, and do not use a commercially  
available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to  
observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.  
C Charging Using a Computer or Battery Charger  
You can also charge the battery by connecting the camera to a computer.  
You can use the Battery Charger MH-65 (available separately) to charge the battery  
without using the camera.

the shutter-release button the rest  
of the way down.  
B Notes About Saving Images or Movies  
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing  
the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do  
not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the  
battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in  
loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.  
C The Auto Off Function  
When no operations are performed for about one minute, the monitor turns off,  
the camera enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The  
camera turns off after remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.  
To turn the monitor back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an  
operation such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.  
C When Using a Tripod  
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:  
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode (A19) set to W (off)  
- When the zoom is at a telephoto position  
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Photo VR to Off  
in the setup menu (A78) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.

Example of camera movement  
Using your body as the axis of rotation, move the camera slowly in an arc, in  
the direction of the marking (KLJI).  
Shooting stops if the guide does not reach the edge within about 15  
seconds (when W Normal is selected) or within about 30 seconds (when  
X Wide is selected) after shooting starts.  
B Notes About Easy Panorama Shooting  
The range of the image seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen in the  
monitor at the time of shooting.  
If the camera is moved too quickly or shaken too much, or if the subject is too  
uniform (e.g. walls or darkness), an error may occur.  
If shooting is stopped before the camera reaches the half-way point in the  
panorama range, a panorama image is not saved.  
If more than half of the panorama range is captured but shooting ends before  
reaching the edge of the range, the range not captured is recorded and displayed  
in gray.

lighting.  
C The Flash Mode Setting  
The setting may not be available with some shooting modes (A49).  
The setting applied in A (auto) mode is saved in the camera’s memory even after  
the camera is turned off.  
C Red-eye Reduction  
Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the  
red-eye effect. If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area  
is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.  
Note the following when shooting:  
Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release  
button is pressed and when the image is shot.  
More time than usual is required to save images.  
Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.  
In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas of the  
image. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.

when using exposure compensation and shooting without the flash.  
The horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and  
bright tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.  
Increasing the exposure compensation value shifts the tone distribution to the  
right, and decreasing it shifts the tone distribution to the left.

Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even  
when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.  
The remaining recording time for a single movie is displayed on the  
shooting screen.  
The actual remaining recording time may vary depending on the movie  
content, subject movement, or type of memory card.  
Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are  
recommended when recording movies (A197). Movie recording may stop  
unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class rating are used.  
B Notes About Camera Temperature  
The camera may become hot when shooting movies for an extended period of  
time or when the camera is used in a hot area.  
If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the  
camera will automatically stop recording.  
The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (B10s) is  
displayed.  
After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.

Notes About Movie Recording  
B Notes About Saving Images or Movies  
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator  
showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being  
saved. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or  
remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this  
could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.  
When using the camera's internal memory, recording movies may take some time.  
Depending on the file size of a movie, it may not be possible to record the movie in  
the internal memory or copy it from a memory card to the internal memory.

B Notes About Recorded Movies  
There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.  
The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement,  
movie vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may  
be recorded.  
The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies.  
These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.  
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-  
vapor lighting.  
- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a  
moving train or car, may appear skewed.  
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.  
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is  
moved.  
Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored  
stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows,  
etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the  
subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a  
malfunction.  
B Notes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording  
When Movie VR (A106) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of  
view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording.  
When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Movie VR to Off  
to prevent potential errors caused by this function.  
B Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording  
Autofocus may not perform as expected (A54). Should this occur, try the following:  
1. Set AF area mode to Center and Autofocus mode to Single AF (default  
setting) in the movie menu before starting movie recording.  
2. Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the  
intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b(emovie-record)  
button to start recording, and modify the composition.

Capturing Still Images While Recording  
Movies  
If the shutter-release button is pressed all the  
way while recording a movie, one frame is saved  
as a still image. Movie recording continues while  
the still image is being saved.  
While y is displayed in the monitor, still  
images can be captured. While z is  
displayed, still images cannot be captured.  
The size of the captured image varies  
depending on the Movie options setting  
(A100).

m30s  
B Notes About Capturing Still Images During Movie Recording  
Still images cannot be captured during a movie recording in the following  
situations:  
- When movie recording is paused  
- When the remaining movie recording time is less than 5 seconds  
- When Movie options is set to Z 1080/60i, U 1080/50i, g 480/30p,  
W 480/25p, or HS movie  
The frames of a movie that were recorded when a still image was being captured  
may not play back smoothly.  
The sound of pressing the shutter-release button may be recorded in the movie.  
If the camera moves when the shutter-release button is pressed, the image may be  
blurred.

B Notes About Movie Editing  
Use a sufficiently charged battery to prevent the camera from turning off during  
editing. When the battery level indicator is B, movie editing is not possible.  
A movie that was created by editing cannot be trimmed again.  
The actual trimmed portion of a movie may differ slightly from the portion selected  
using the start and end points.  
Movies cannot be trimmed so that they are less than two seconds long.

B Notes About Location Data Functions  
Before using the location data functions, read "<Important> Notes About Location  
It takes a few minutes to calculate location data when positioning is performed for  
the first time or after a long period in which positioning could not be performed, or  
just after the battery is replaced.  
You can reduce the time for calculating location data by using the latest A-GPS file  
(A110).  
Positions of the positioning satellites change constantly.  
You may not be able to determine the position or it may take some time  
depending on your location and the time.  
To use the location data functions, use the camera in an open-air area with few  
obstacles in the sky.  
Signal receiving will be smoother if the positioning antenna (A1) is facing the sky.  
The following locations which block or reflect signals may result in failed or  
inaccurate positioning.  
- Inside buildings or underground locations  
- Between high-rise buildings  
- Under overpasses  
- Inside tunnels  
- Near high-voltage electrical power lines  
- Between clusters of trees  
- Underwater  
Using a mobile phone of 1.5 GHz band near this camera may disrupt positioning.  
When carrying this camera around while positioning, do not place it in a metal bag.  
Positioning cannot be performed if the camera is covered with metal materials.  
When there is a significant difference in the signals from the positioning satellites,  
there could be a deviation of up to several hundred meters.  
Be aware of your surroundings when positioning.  
The shooting date and time that is displayed when playing back images is  
determined by the camera’s internal clock at the time of shooting.  
The time at which the camera calculated the location data is recorded to images,  
but it is not displayed on the camera screen.  
The location data for the first frame will be recorded on a series of images shot  
using continuous shooting.  
B Battery Drain While Recording Location Data and Log Recording  
When Record location data is set to On, record location data functions will continue  
to operate at the specified interval for approximately six hours even after the camera is  
turned off. Also, record location data functions and log recording will continue to  
operate while recording logs (A141) even after the camera is turned off.  
When Record location data is set to On or while recording logs, the battery  
power will drain faster than usual. Confirm the battery level especially when  
recording a log using Start all logs or Start depth log.

Using Altimeter and Depth Gauge  
You can check the atmospheric pressure as well as the altitude or water depth  
of the current position on the screen, and record the displayed values to the  
captured images.  
The altitude, water depth, and atmospheric pressure that are recorded to  
images can be imprinted on the images by using Data imprint (A68) in  
the playback menu.  
Captured images and related logs can be displayed if you use the altitude or  
water depth log recording functions (A145).  
B Notes About Altimeter and Depth Gauge  
Use Alt./depth correction in Altitude/depth options (A118) in the location  
data options menu to correct the altitude or water depth in advance. Before using

B Notes About Log Recording  
If the date and time are not set, the log cannot be recorded.  
When recording all logs or a water depth log, correct the altitude or water depth  
using Alt./depth correction in Altitude/depth options (A118) in the location  
data options menu before log recording starts.  
Use a fully charged battery to prevent the camera from turning off during log  
recording. When the battery power becomes exhausted, log recording ends.  
While the altitude log or water depth log is recorded, the battery is exhausted  
much faster. Exercise caution regarding the remaining battery level.  
Log data cannot be recorded while the camera is not positioning, even if log  
recording has already started.  
Even when the camera is turned off, log recording is continuously performed until  
the preset time has elapsed if there is still time remaining for log recording.  
Log recording ends due to the operations below even when there is time  
remaining for log recording.

Caring for the Product  
Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For  
Condensation” (Aix) when using or storing the device.  
The Camera  
Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera  
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition,  
do not touch or apply force to the lens.  
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.  
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. Doing so could result in loss of data or  
camera malfunction.  
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 the image sensor to  
deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs.  
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 saved  
or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data  
or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.

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.  
Due to the general characteristics of OLED monitors, prolonged or repeated  
display of the same screen or image may result in screen burn. Screen burn can be  
recognized by decreased brightness in portions of the monitor or mottled display.  
In some cases, screen burn may become permanent. However, images are in no  
way affected by screen burn.  
To prevent screen burn, do not set monitor brightness higher than necessary and  
do not display the same screen or image for an extended period of time.  
Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.  
Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction.  
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken  
glass.  
The Battery  
Precautions for Use  
Note that the battery may become hot after use.  
Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below -10°C (-14°F) or above 40°C  
(104°F) as this could cause damage or malfunction.  
If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell  
coming from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or  
Nikon-authorized service representative.  
After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the  
battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.  
Charging the Battery  
Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if  
necessary.  
Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to  
95°F) before use.  
A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or  
completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may  
become hot after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging.  
When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the Charging AC  
Adapter or a computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below  
0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F).  
Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in  
reduced battery performance.  
The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a  
malfunction.

Carrying Spare Batteries  
Whenever possible, carry fully charged spare batteries when taking pictures on  
important occasions.  
Using the Battery When Cold  
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is  
used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a  
warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover  
some of its charge.  
Battery Terminals  
Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the  
battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.  
Charging an Exhausted Battery  
Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera  
may result in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.  
Storing the Battery  
Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is  
not being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in  
the camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and  
complete loss of function.  
Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it  
before returning it to storage.  
Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place.  
The battery should be stored in a dry 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.  
Battery Life  
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 battery.  
Recycling Used Batteries  
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.  
The Charging AC Adapter  
The Charging AC Adapter EH-71P/EH-71PCH is for use only with compatible  
devices. Do not use with another make or model of device.  
Do not use any USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the  
UC-E21 could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.  
Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other  
than Charging AC Adapter EH-71P/EH-71PCH, and do not use a commercially  
available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to  
observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.  
The EH-71P/EH-71PCH is compatible with AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets.  
When using in other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as  
necessary. For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency.

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 data to a computer, etc. If you  
want to format the memory 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.
