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 which 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 (A120). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage  
to property when physically destroying data storage devices.

Step 2 Frame a Picture  
1
Ready the camera.  
Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your  
fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash, the  
projector button, AF assist-illuminator, microphone, and  
speaker.  
When taking pictures in portrait (“tall”) orientation, turn  
the camera so that the built-in flash is above the lens.  
2
Frame the picture.  
When the camera recognizes a human face, that face will  
be framed by a yellow double border (default setting).  
Up to 12 faces can be recognized. If more than one face is  
recognized, the face nearest to the camera will be framed  
in the focus area by a double border, and the other faces  
will be framed by a single border.  
12  
The focus area is not displayed when taking pictures of subjects other than people, or  
when framing a picture in which no face is recognized. Frame the picture so that the  
intended subject is at or near the center of the frame.

Using the Zoom  
Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom. Rotate  
the zoom control to gto zoom in so that the subject

Digital Zoom  
When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, rotating  
and holding the zoom control at gtriggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified  
up to 4× the maximum optical zoom ratio. The camera focuses at the center of the  
frame and the focus area is not displayed when digital zoom is in effect.  
Maximum optical zoom  
Digital zoom

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 picture quality.  
Interpolation is applied 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 for  
confirmation of the zoom positions at which shooting without interpolation is possible at the  
current image mode setting.  
Small image size  
Digital zoom can be disabled from the Digital zoom option (A128) in the setup menu (A117).

B During Recording  
While pictures are being recorded, the number of exposures remaining will blink. Do not open the  
battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while pictures are being recorded. Cutting power or  
removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the  
camera or card.  
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 glow 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)  
Subject is moving rapidly  
In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several  
times, or focus on another subject and use focus lock (A107). When using focus lock, 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.  
B Note on Face Priority  
See AF area mode (A106) and “Face Priority” (A108) for more information.  
D AF-assist Illuminator and Flash  
If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A128) may light by pressing the shutter-release  
button halfway, or the flash (A30) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way  
down.

The E indicator is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken  
when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.  
B Notes on the Flash  
When using the flash, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in  
pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash to W (off).  
There may be functions with which the flash cannot be enabled. See “Camera Settings that  
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.  
If the battery is low, the monitor display will turn off, and  
remain off, until the flash is fully charged.  
C The Flash Mode Setting  
The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode.  
A (auto): U (auto)  
Scene: varies with the selected scene mode (A37–42)  
F (smart portrait): fixed at W (off) when On is selected for Blink proof; U (auto) when Off is  
selected for Blink proof (A51)  
s (subject tracking): U (auto)  
The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the  
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.  
C Red-eye Reduction  
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). The flash fires several times  
at low intensity (pre-flash) before the main flash, reducing “red eye.” The camera then analyzes the  
picture; if red-eye is detected, the affected area will be processed to further reduce red-eye before  
the picture is saved. Please note the followings.  
There is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and the picture being shot  
because of the pre-flash. This mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is  
required.  
The time before the next picture can be taken increases slightly.  
Advanced red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.  
In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye  
reduction processing; in these cases, choose another mode and try again.

C Exposure Compensation Value  
The exposure compensation value applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even  
after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.  
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.

Taking Pictures with the Remote Control  
Use the remote control ML-L4 (supplied; A6) to take pictures. It is convenient for  
taking self-portraits and effectively eliminates blur caused by camera shake that  
occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed.  
The remote control can also be used in conjunction with the self-timer.  
When recording movies, use the remote control to start and stop movie  
recording.  
Use of a tripod is recommended during shooting with the remote control. In  
this situation, set Vibration reduction (A126) to Off when using a tripod  
during shooting.

Shooting Smiling Faces (Smart Portrait)  
Shooting in Smart Portrait Mode  
At the default settings, the camera uses face priority to recognize human faces,  
and then automatically releases the shutter when a smile is detected (smile timer).  
The skin softening option can be used to smooth skin tones of human faces.

Frame a picture.  
Point the camera at the subject.  
When the camera recognizes a human face, a yellow  
double border (focus area) is displayed around that face.  
When focus is acquired on that face, the double border  
will turn green for a moment and focus is locked.  
1/125 F3.9  
Up to three faces can be recognized. When the camera  
detects more than one face, the double border is displayed around the face closest to  
the center of the frame, and single borders around the others.

4
The shutter is automatically released.  
If the camera detects that the face framed by the double border is smiling, Smile timer  
(A51) is activated and the shutter is automatically released.  
When the camera recognizes a face, the self-timer lamp (A4) blinks. Immediately after  
the shutter is released, the self-timer lamp flickers.  
Each time the shutter is released, the camera again initiates face recognition and smile  
detection operations for continuous automatic shooting.  
Pictures can also be taken by pressing the shutter release button. The camera can focus  
on the subject at the center of the frame when faces are not recognized.  
After the shutter is released, processing to soften facial skin tones is performed and the  
image is saved (Skin softening A51).  
Shooting ends.  
To exit automatic shooting mode with smile detection, turn the camera off, set Smile  
timer to Off, or press the A button to switch to other shooting mode.

Subject Tracking Mode  
B Notes on Subject Tracking Mode  
Adjust zoom position, exposure, menu settings, and flash mode prior to selecting the subject. If  
any camera setting is changed after the subject has been selected, subject selection will be  
cancelled.  
It may be impossible to select the desired subject, or the camera may be unable to track the  
selected subject or may begin tracking a different subject, if the subject is moving rapidly, if there  
is a significant amount of camera shake, or if the camera recognizes a similar subject. The camera’s  
ability to accurately track the selected subject is also dependent upon the size and brightness of  
the subject.  
In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A27) ,  
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area indicator glows green. Should  
this occur, switch to auto mode and set AF area mode (A106) to Manual or Center, refocus  
on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject,  
and use focus lock (A107).  
C Functions Available in Subject Tracking Mode  
Digital zoom is not available.  
Flash mode (A30) and exposure compensation (A34) settings can be adjusted.  
Self-timer(A32) and macro mode (A33) cannot be used.

Changes made to the image mode setting apply to all shooting modes (except those available  
from the movie mode).  
C Autofocus

locked by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. Therefore, the sound of lens drive movement  
can be heard.

B White Balance  
A(auto) Md(Shooting menu) MB 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.

Auto (default setting)  
White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in

E ISO Sensitivity  
A(auto) Md(Shooting menu) ME ISO sensitivity  
Sensitivity is a measure of the camera’s response to light. The higher the sensitivity,  
the less light is needed to expose an image. Although high ISO sensitivity settings  
are suited to pictures of moving subjects or those taken under dim lighting, high  
sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise” - randomly spaced, brightly  
colored pixels - concentrated in dark portions 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.  
Fixed range auto  
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from  
ISO 80-200 (default setting) or ISO 80-400. The camera will not increase sensitivity  
beyond the maximum value in the selected range. Specify the maximum ISO  
sensitivity for effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.  
80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400  
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.  
Motion detection (A127) does not function when any option other than Auto  
is selected in the ISO sensitivity setting.  
At the settings other than Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor

will be displayed (A31). When Fixed range auto is selected, U and the

B Notes on Face Priority  
If the camera is unable to recognize any faces when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway  
with AF area mode set to Face priority, the AF area mode setting automatically switches to  
Auto.  
If no faces are recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or Night  
portrait scene mode or smart portrait mode, the camera will focus on the subject at the center of  
the frame.  
The camera may be unable to recognize 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 recognized by the camera and the face on  
which the camera focuses depend upon 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  
green (A27). Should this occur, switch to A(auto) mode and set AF area mode to Manual or  
Center, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual  
portrait subject, and use focus lock (A107).  
When pictures in which a face was detected during shooting are played back, the pictures will be,  
automatically rotated for playback display, according to the orientation of the face detected  
except pictures that were taken using Continuous, BSS and Multi-shot 16 (A103).

Basic Camera Setup: The Setup Menu  
g Vibration Reduction  
dbutton Mz(Setup menu) (A118) Mg Vibration reduction  
Choose a vibration reduction option for shooting.  
Vibration reduction effectively reduces blur caused by slight hand movement  
known as camera shake, which commonly occurs when shooting with zoom  
applied or at slow shutter speeds. The effects of camera shake are reduced when  
recording movies, in addition to when taking still pictures.  
Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera  
during shooting.  
On (hybrid)  
The effects of camera shake are reduced optically using a lens-shift method.  
Additional image processing with electronic vibration reduction is applied to  
further reduce the effects of camera shake with recording of still pictures taken  
under the following conditions.  
When the flash does not fire  
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  
On (default setting)  
The vibration reduction method using the lens-shift method only is enabled.  
Off  
Vibration reduction is not enabled.  
The current vibration reduction setting can be confirmed in the camera monitor  
with shooting (A8, 23). When Off is selected, 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 image of the monitor stabilizes before  
shooting.  
Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera’s  
monitor immediately after shooting may be displayed blurry.  
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.  
When On (hybrid) is selected and electronic vibration reduction is activated, the shutter is  
automatically released twice when a picture is taken to allow for image processing. Therefore, the  
time required to record pictures increases. Shutter sound (A129) can be heard only when the  
shutter is released the first time and a single picture will be recorded.

displayed.  
B Notes on Motion Detection  
Motion detection may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of subject movement and  
camera shake in some situations.  
Motion detection may not function if the subject exhibits significant movement or is too dark.  
The pictures taken using motion detection may be somewhat “grainy” in appearance.

Using the projector  
Displaying Pictures with the Projector (Projector Mode)  
The COOLPIX S1000pj is equipped with a built-  
in projector. The ability to project pictures and  
movies with simple operation makes for a  
convenient way of enjoying photos at  
gatherings of family and friends.  
Projecting Pictures  
1
Place the camera.  
Place the projector stand (supplied) on a stable  
and level surface such as a table.  
Place the camera on the projector stand so that  
the projection on the stand fits into the  
camera’s tripod socket.  
Tripod socket  
Position the camera so that the projector  
window is pointed at a flat white surface or  
movie or projector screen.  
Projector  
stand  
The projection distance between the camera  
and screen should be approximately 26 cm to 2 m (10 in. to 6 ft. 6 in.) (A139).  
2
3
Turn on the camera and press the P  
button.  
The camera enters projector mode and a picture  
stored in the internal memory or on a memory  
card inserted into the camera is projected in full-  
frame playback mode onto the screen.  
The camera’s monitor turns off while projecting.  
Adjust the camera position.  
To change the projected picture size, adjust the distance between the camera and  
screen.  
Adjust the projection angle to reduce picture distortion.  
B Projector Distortion  
When the supplied projector stand is used, pictures are projected at a slightly upward angle to  
prevent the surface on which the stand and camera are placed from obstructing picture projection.  
The slightly upward angle of projection causes a type of distortion known as a keystone effect,  
skewing picture dimensions. Using a tripod rather than the supplied projector stand to stabilize the  
camera simplifies camera positioning and may also reduce the keystone effect.

Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-  
character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequential number for pictures taken  
in Panorama assist scene mode (e.g. “101P_001”; A47) and “NIKON” for all  
other pictures (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.”  
Voice memo file names have the same identifier and file number as the picture  
to which the voice memo is attached.  
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 (A115).  
A single folder can hold up to 200 pictures; if the current folder already contains  
200 pictures, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name,  
will be created the next time a picture is taken. If the current folder is numbered  
999 and contains 200 pictures, or a picture is numbered 9999, no further  
pictures can be taken until the internal memory or memory card is formatted  
(A130), or a new memory card is inserted.

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, 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.

Caring for the Camera  
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 completely exhaust it  
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 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 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.  
Recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Caring for the Camera  
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  
Lens/  
projector fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the  
window  
Monitor  
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 of light may be visible in the monitor with framing of bright subjects. This  
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor. This  
is due to characteristics of the image sensor and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also  
cause partial discoloration in monitor display with shooting.  
Smear does not affect recorded images except when shooting with Continuous set to Multi-  
shot 16 and when recording movies. When shooting in these modes, avoiding bright objects  
such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.  
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.
