five can be detected), the face displayed largest in the monitor is

framed by a double border and the others by single borders.

•If no pets’ faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject

in the center of the frame.

BNotes About Pet Portrait

•Digital zoom cannot be used.

•Depending on the distance of the subject from the camera, the speed of the subject’s movement,

the direction that the subject is facing, the ambient brightness of the face, etc., pet faces may not

be detected or other subjects may be framed by a border.

CThe Flash Lamp

The flash lamp indicates the status of the flash when you press the

shutter-release button halfway.

•On: The flash fires when a picture is taken.

•Flashing: The flash is charging. The camera cannot take pictures.

•Off: The flash does not fire when a picture is taken.

If the battery level is low, the monitor turns off while the flash is

charging.

CThe Flash Mode Setting

CEffective Range of the Flash

When ISO sensitivity is set to Auto, the flash has a range of approx. 0.5–5.0 m (1 ft 8 in.–16 ft) at the

maximum wide-angle zoom position and a range of approx. 1.5–2.5 m (5 ft–8 ft 2 in.) at the

maximum telephoto zoom position.

CRed-eye Reduction

This camera uses “Advanced Red-Eye Reduction (In-Camera Red-Eye Fix).“

Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect.

Additionally, 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 shutter is released.

•More time than usual is required to save images.

•Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.

•In rare cases, areas of the image that are not affected by red-eye may be processed by red-eye

reduction. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.

BNotes About 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. Additionally, 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 person’s face, the faces detected 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, such as those described in “Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus” (A61), the

subject may not be in focus even though the double border turns green. Should this occur, use

another mode, such as A (auto) mode, and try focus lock shooting (A60) by focusing on

another subject that is the same distance from the camera.

Shooting Features

Focus Lock

When the camera focuses on an object in the center of the frame, you can use focus lock to

focus on an off-center subject.

Use the following procedure when taking pictures using A (auto) mode.

1Aim the camera at the subject so that the subject is in the center of the

frame.

2Press the shutter-release button

halfway.

•Confirm that the focus area turns green.

•Focus and exposure are locked.

3Continue holding down the shutter-release

button halfway and recompose the picture.

•Be sure to maintain the same distance between the

camera and the subject.

4Press the shutter-release button the rest of

the way down to take the picture.

Shooting Features

BSubjects Not Suitable for Autofocus

The camera may not focus 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 turns 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. an animal inside a cage)

•Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of similarly shaped

windows, etc.)

•Subject is moving rapidly

In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several

times, or select A (auto) mode and use focus lock (A60) to take the picture by first focusing on an

object that is the same distance from the camera as the desired subject.

BNotes About Saving Data

After taking pictures or recording movies, the number of exposures remaining or the remaining

recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open the battery-

chamber/memory card slot cover. Image and movie data could be lost and the camera or memory

card could be damaged.

BNotes About Movie Recording

•Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording

movies (F19). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed

Class rating are used.

•Image quality degrades when digital zoom is used. If the digital zoom is not being used when

movie recording begins, turning and holding the zoom control toward g magnifies the image

using optical zoom and the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. After letting go of the

zoom control, turn the zoom control toward g again to magnify the image using the digital zoom.

•When recording ends, digital zoom turns off.

•The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration

reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.

•Smear (F3) visible in the monitor with movie recording is recorded with movies. Avoiding bright

objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.

•Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, subjects with repeating

patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) may have colored stripes (interference patterns, moire, etc.)

in them 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.

BCamera Temperature

•The camera may become warm when recording 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 after 30 seconds.

The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (B30s) is displayed.

After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.

Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.

BNotes About Autofocus

Autofocus may not perform as expected (A61). Should this occur, try the following:

1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to A Single AF (default setting) before starting

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 (e movie-record) button to start recording, and

then modify the composition.

CFunctions Available with Movie Recording

•The exposure compensation, white balance, and color options settings for the current shooting

mode are also applied with movie recording. The tone that results from using scene mode (A35)

is also applied to movies. When macro mode is enabled, movies of subjects closer to the camera

can be recorded. Confirm settings before starting movie recording.

•The self-timer (A49) can be used. Set the self-timer and then press the b (e movie-record)

button to start recording a movie after 10 seconds.

•The flash does not fire.

Image Mode (Image Size and Quality)

You can select the combination of image size and image quality (i.e., image compression

ratio) that is used when saving images.

The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which images can be printed, and

the lower the compression ratio, the higher the quality of the images, but the number of

images that can be saved (E25) is reduced.

1The total number of pixels captured, and the number of pixels captured horizontally and vertically.

Example: P 4608×3456 = approx. 16 megapixels, 4608×3456 pixels

2Print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi.

Print sizes are calculated by dividing the number of pixels by printer resolution (dpi) and

multiplying by 2.54 cm (1 in.). However, at the same image size, images printed at higher

resolutions will be printed smaller than the size indicated, and those printed at lower resolutions

will be printed larger than the size indicated.

White Balance (Adjusting Hue)

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, select a white

balance setting that matches the light source before shooting.

Although Auto (the default setting) can be used under most types of lighting, white balance

can be adjusted to suit the sky conditions or light source and achieve more natural color

tones in the image.

The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor when the camera is in shooting

mode (A8). No icon is displayed when Auto is selected.

Enter A (auto) mode M d button M White balance M k button

Option Description

aAuto (default setting) White balance is automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions.

bPreset manual Use when shooting under unusual lighting (E27).

cDaylight Use when shooting outdoors in direct sunlight.

dIncandescent Use when shooting under incandescent lighting.

eFluorescent Use when shooting under fluorescent lighting.

fCloudy Use when shooting under overcast skies.

gFlash Use when shooting with the flash.

E27

Reference Section

Using Preset Manual

Preset manual is used with unusual 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 shot under a lamp with a red shade

look as though they had been shot under white light).

Use the procedure below to measure the white balance value under the lighting used when

shooting.

1Prepare a white or gray-colored subject and then place it under the

lighting that will be used when shooting.

2Display the shooting menu (A56), use the

multi selector to select b Preset manual in

the White balance menu, and then press the

k button.

•The camera zooms in to the position for measuring white

balance.

3Select Measure.

•To apply the most recently measured white balance value,

select Cancel and then press the k button. The white

balance setting is not measured again and the most

recently measured value is set.

Continuous Shooting

You can change settings to continuous or BSS (best shot selector).

The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor when the camera is in shooting

mode (A8). No icon is displayed when Single is selected.

Enter A (auto) mode M d button M Continuous M k button

Option Description

USingle

(default setting) One picture is taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.

VContinuous

While the shutter-release button is held all the way down, about four images

are captured continuously at a rate of about 1.2 fps (when Image mode is

set to P 4608×3456).

DBSS

(best shot

selector)

The “best shot selector” is recommended when shooting with the flash off or

the camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which inadvertent motion

can result in blurred images.

When BSS is on, the camera captures up to 10 images while the shutter-

release button is held down. The sharpest image in the series is automatically

selected and saved.

•BSS is best suited to shooting subjects that are not moving. When

shooting moving subjects or when the composition of the picture

changes while shooting, the desired results may not be achieved.

WMulti-shot 16

Each time the shutter-release button is pressed all

the way down, the camera takes 16 shots at a rate of

about 30 fps and arranges them in a single image.

•Images are captured with the Image mode fixed

at L (image size is 2560 × 1920 pixels).

•Digital zoom cannot be used.

BNotes About Continuous Shooting

•When Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected, flash cannot be used. Focus, exposure, and

white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series.

•The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode

setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.

•Some settings cannot be used with other functions (A58).

ISO Sensitivity

When ISO sensitivity is increased, less light is needed when taking pictures.

Higher ISO sensitivity allows darker subjects to be captured. Additionally, even with subjects

of similar brightness, pictures can be taken at faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by

camera shake and subject movement can be reduced.

•Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting

without the flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise.

The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor when the camera is in shooting

mode (A8).

•When Auto is selected, E is not displayed at ISO 80, but is displayed if the ISO sensitivity

automatically increases to more than 80.

Enter A (auto) mode M d button M ISO sensitivity M k button

Option Description

a Auto

(default setting)

Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera

compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when

lighting is dim.

80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 Sensitivity is fixed at the specified value.

BNotes About Multi-shot 16

Smear (F3) visible in the monitor when shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled is saved with

images. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when

shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled is recommended.

File and Folder Names

Images and movies are assigned file names as follows.

•Files are saved in folders named with a folder number followed by “NIKON” (e.g.

“100NIKON”). A single folder can hold up to 200 images; if the current folder already

contains 200 images, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name, is

created the next time an image is captured (e.g. “100NIKON” ➝ “101NIKON”). When the

number of files within a folder reaches 9999, a new folder is created. File numbers are

assigned automatically starting with 0001.

•In Panorama assist (E2), a folder is created for each shooting session using the following

naming convention: “Folder number + P_XXX” (e.g. “101P_001”). Images are saved in

sequence in file numbers 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 (E41).

•If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 200 images, or an image is numbered

9999, no further images can be captured until the internal memory or memory card is

formatted (E58), or a new memory card is inserted.

Technical Notes and Index

Caring for the Product

The Camera

To ensure safe and continued enjoyment of your Nikon camera, observe the following

precautions and the precautions noted in “For Your Safety” (Aix-xv) when using or storing

your camera.

BDo Not Subject the Product to Strong Shocks

The product may malfunction if dropped or struck. Additionally, do not touch or apply force to the

lens.

BKeep Dry

If water enters the camera, internal components may rust or otherwise become damaged, and

repairing the camera may be expensive or even impossible.

BAvoid 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.

BKeep 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 saved on the memory card,

or affect the product’s internal circuitry.

BDo 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 damage the image sensor or other components, producing a

white blur effect in photographs.

Technical Notes and Index

BTurn the Camera off Before Removing the Batteries, AC Adapter, or Memory Card

Removing the batteries, AC adapter, or memory card while the camera is on could damage the

camera or memory card. If removed while the camera is saving or deleting data, data may be lost

and the camera's memory or the memory card may be damaged.

BNotes on 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.

•Scraping or pressing on the surface of the monitor may result in damage or malfunction. 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.

•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.

BNotes About 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 saved with the

camera except in the cases of movies and of images saved 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.

Technical Notes and Index

Batteries

Be sure to read and follow the warnings noted in “For Your Safety” (Aix-xv) before use.

BNotes About Using Batteries

•Used batteries may overheat. Handle with caution.

•Do not use batteries beyond their recommended expiration date.

•Do not turn the camera on and off repeatedly if discharged batteries are inserted in the camera.

BSpare Batteries

We recommend carrying spare batteries depending on where you are shooting. It may be difficult to

purchase batteries in certain areas.

BCharging Batteries

If using optional rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries before taking pictures. Batteries are not

charged at the time of purchase.

Be sure to read and follow the warnings noted in the operating instructions included with the

battery charger.

BCharging Rechargeable Batteries

•Do not mix batteries with different amounts of charge remaining, or batteries of a different make

or model.

•When using EN-MH2 batteries with the COOLPIX L320, charge four batteries at a time using

Battery Charger MH-73. Use only Battery Charger MH-73 to charge EN-MH2 batteries.

•When using Battery Charger MH-73, only charge EN-MH2 batteries.

•EN-MH1 rechargeable Ni-MH batteries cannot be used.

Technical Notes and Index

BNotes About Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries

•If you repeatedly charge rechargeable Ni-MH batteries while they still have some charge

remaining, the message Battery exhausted. may be displayed prematurely when using the

batteries. This is due to the “memory effect,” in which the amount of charge the batteries can hold

decreases temporarily. Use the batteries until there is no charge remaining and they will return to

their normal behavior.

•Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries discharge even when not being used. We recommend charging the

batteries just before using them.

BCold Environment Usage

Battery performance decreases in cold environments. When using the camera in cold environments,

try not to let the camera and batteries become too cold. The camera may not function if you use

discharged batteries in cold environments. Keep spare batteries warm and alternate between two

sets of batteries. Batteries that cannot be used because they have become too cold can often be

used again when they have been warmed up.

BBattery Terminals

Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Remove dirt from the

terminals using a dry cloth.

BRemaining Battery Charge

If you insert discharged batteries into the camera, the camera may indicate that the batteries have

adequate charge remaining. This is a characteristic of batteries.

BRecycling

Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local

regulations. Cover the battery terminals with plastic tape when recycling.
