Introduction

FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement

The available scientific evidence

does not show that any health prob-

lems are associated with using low

power wireless devices. There is no

proof, however, that these low

power wireless devices are abso-

lutely safe. Low power wireless

devices emit low levels of radio fre-

quency energy (RF) in the micro-

wave range while being used.

Whereas high levels of RF can pro-

duce health effects (by heating tis-

sue), exposure to 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 bio-

logical effects. Some studies have

suggested that some biological

effects might occur, but such find-

ings have not been confirmed by

additional research. Wireless LAN

Module (2143EB) has been tested

and found to comply with FCC/IC

radiation exposure limits set forth

for an uncontrolled equipment and

meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)

Exposure Guidelines in Supplement

C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC

radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.

Please refer to the SAR test report

that was uploaded at FCC website.

This device should not be co-located

or operated in conjunction with any

other antenna or transmitter.

Notice for customers in the

U.S.A.

FCC RF Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and

found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device, pursuant to

Part 15 of the FCC rules. These lim-

its are designed to provide reason-

able protection against harmful

interference in a residential installa-

tion. This equipment generates,

uses, and can radiate radio fre-

quency energy and, if not installed

and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful

interference to radio communica-

tions. However, there is no guaran-

tee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this

equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television

reception, which can be deter-

mined by turning the equipment off

and on, the user is encouraged to

try to correct the interference by

one or more of the following mea-

sures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving

antenna.

• Increase the separation between

the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an

outlet on a circuit different from

that to which the receiver is con-

nected.

• Consult the dealer or an experi-

enced radio/television technician

for help.

VR (c57) to suit shooting conditions or your own preferences.

lAuto Power Off in L (Auto) Mode (Standby Mode)

The monitor will dim to reduce the drain on the battery if no operations are performed for

about five seconds. The monitor will brighten when camera controls are used. At default set-

tings, the monitor will turn off altogether if no operations are performed for about a minute

during shooting and playback. The camera will turn off automatically if no operations are per-

formed for another three minutes (c124).

Step 2 Frame a Picture

1Ready the camera.

Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your

fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash,

and self-timer lamp.

When taking pictures in “tall” orientation, turn the

camera so that the built-in flash is above the lens.

2Frame the picture.

Position the main subject near the center of the mon-

itor.

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom.

Press to t (j) to zoom out, increasing the area

visible in the frame, or to v (k) to zoom in so that

the subject fills a larger area of the frame.

When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum magnification (3×), holding

the zoom control down to v (k) triggers digital zoom. The subject is magni-

fied up to 4×, for a total magnification of 12×.

A monitor indicator shows the current zoom ratio.

jDigital Zoom

Unlike optical zoom, data from the camera’s image sensor are processed digitally with digital

zoom. Details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly

“grainy” image.

Electronic VR

Electronic VR (c106) will be enabled in L (auto)

mode according to shooting conditions and may be

applied to blurred pictures when they are recorded

(L is displayed in the monitor when shooting).

Electronic VR can be set to [Off] in the [Electronic

VR] option of the shooting menu (c96).

• [Electronic VR] is enabled in [Night portrait] and

[Party/indoor] scene modes. Note that in these scene modes, [Electronic

VR] cannot be set to [Off].

• [Electronic VR] can also be applied to pictures taken during playback

(c57).

lHigh-sensitivity Shooting Mode

With high-sensitivity shooting mode (c36), a higher sensitivity is set and the shutter speed is

faster than in L (auto) mode, reducing blurred pictures resulting from subject movement.

This mode is also suited for reducing the effects of camera shake when taking pictures in dark

places.

lAnti-shake Mode

When anti-shake mode (c49) is used, [Electronic VR] (c106) and [BSS] (best shot selector)

(c104) are enabled to reduce effects of camera shake and blurred subjects, producing clear

images. With BSS enabled, the camera takes shots to a maximum of ten, they are compared,

and the sharpest picture (picture with the highest level of detail) is saved. A higher sensitivity

is set, and the shutter speed will be faster than in L (auto) mode.

Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

Step 3 Focus and Shoot

1Press the shutter-release button halfway.

The camera focuses on the subject at the center of

Using the Flash

The flash has a range of 0.3–7.5 m (1 ft.–24 ft.) when the camera is zoomed

out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is 0.3–4 m

(1 ft.–13 ft.). The following flash modes are available:

1Press J (flash mode).

The flash menu is displayed.

2Use the rotary multi selector to choose

the desired flash mode and press d.

The icon for the selected flash mode is displayed at

the top of the monitor.

When [Monitor settings] (c120) is set to [Auto info],

the icon for the selected flash mode is only displayed

for five seconds after the setting is applied. When set

to [Show info], the z icon will only be displayed for

five seconds after the setting is applied. All other

icons will remain displayed.

The flash mode applied in L (auto) mode and high-

sensitivity shooting mode is stored in the camera’s

memory even after the camera is turned off.

If a setting is not applied by pressing d within five

seconds, the selection will be cancelled.

zAuto (default for L (auto) mode)

Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

AAuto with red-eye reduction

Reduces “red-eye” in portraits (c33).

BOff

Flash will not fire even when lighting is poor.

JFill flash

Flash fires whenever a picture is taken. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows

and back-lit subjects.

DSlow sync

Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture back-

ground at night or under dim light.

Using the Flash

Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

jThe B (Off) Indicator

Note the following when lighting is poor and the flash is off (B).

• Place the camera on a flat, level surface or use a tripod (recommended).

•The W is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity to minimize blur

caused by slow shutter speed. Pictures taken when W is displayed may be slightly mottled.

jNote on Using the Flash

When using the flash at a wide-angle zoom position, reflections from dust particles in the air

may appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash to B (Off) or

zoom in on the subject.

kThe AF-assist Illuminator

If lighting is poor, the AF-assist illuminator may light to assist the focus operation when the

shutter-release button is pressed halfway. The illuminator has a maximum range of about

1.9 m/6 ft. 2 in. (t) to 1.1 m/3 ft. 6 in. (v). The AF-assist illuminator can be turned off man-

ually (c123), although in this case the camera may not focus when lighting is poor.

kThe Flash Lamp

The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shut-

ter-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.

kRed-Eye Reduction

The COOLPIX S7c is equipped with an advanced red-eye reduction system. Pre-flashes are

fired several times at low intensity before the main flash to reduce “red-eye.” If the camera

detects “red-eye” after a picture is taken, Nikon’s own In-Camera Red-Eye Fix processes the

image as it is recorded. Therefore, there is a slight delay before the shutter-release button

operates normally to take another picture.

• Not recommended for when shutter-release timing is essential.

• Red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results.

• In some rare cases, other portions of pictures may be affected.

Use flash modes other than auto with red-eye reduction in above cases.

print or transfer marking already exists for dates other than the specified date, a confirmation

dialog [Save print marking for other dates?] or [Save transfer marking for other dates?] will be

displayed. Select [Yes] to add to the existing print or transfer marking. Selecting [No] removes

the existing print or transfer marking from all pictures in the internal memory or on the mem-

ory card, ensuring that only pictures taken on the specific date are selected for printing or

transfer.

displayed in the top left corner, and the date and time of recording are displayed in place of

the folder name and file number and type.

A Best Shot Selector (BSS)

The “best shot selector” is recommended from situ-

ations in which inadvertent camera movement can

result in blurred pictures, or when parts of the

image are prone to under- or overexposure.

At [On] and [Exposure BSS] settings, the flash auto-

matically turns off and focus, exposure, and white balance for all pictures are

determined by the first picture in each series.

The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (c8).

jNote on Best Shot Selector

BSS may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the composition changes

while the shutter-release button is fully pressed.

AOn

Recommended for taking pictures in poorly lit places, or in other situations

where camera shake may occur. Camera takes shots while shutter-release but-

ton is pressed, to a maximum of ten. These images are then compared and the

sharpest picture (picture with highest level of detail) is saved.

BOff

Only one picture is taken.

wExposure BSS

Recommended for high-contrast subjects, when it is diffi-

cult to set exposure correctly.

[Highlight BSS]: picture with smallest area of

overexposure is selected.

[Shadow BSS]: picture with smallest area of underexposure is selected.

[Histogram BSS]: of pictures with least under- and over-exposure, camera

chooses picture with overall exposure closest to optimum.

Camera takes five shots each time shutter-release button is pressed, but only

the picture that best meets the selected criterion is saved.

W 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 concen-

trated in dark parts of the image.

[Auto] is equivalent to ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor

and the flash is off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maxi-

mum of ISO 800 equivalent. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 1600

equivalent.

At settings other than [Auto], the current setting is displayed in the monitor

(c8). If [Auto] is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 50 equiv-

alent, the W icon will be displayed (c33).

d Color Options

Make colors more vivid or record pictures in mono-

chrome.

The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At set-

tings other than [Standard color], the icon for the current setting is displayed

Wireless Transfer Mode

What is Wireless Transfer Mode?

COOLPIX S7c is equipped with a wireless transfer mode, which is based on

the IEEE 802.11b/g standard. This section describes how the wireless transfer

mode works using the wireless LAN communication feature, and also

describes the configuration necessary for wireless transfer mode.

Features of Wireless Transfer Mode

COOLPIX CONNECT

Pictures stored in the camera’s internal memory or on a memory card can be

viewed by your family and friends via e-mail and webpage. For more infor-

mation on the COOLPIX CONNECT service, refer to “Uploading Pictures to

COOLPIX CONNECT” (c145).

PC Connection

• Pictures stored in the camera’s internal memory or on a memory card can

be transferred to a computer via home wireless LAN.

• Just-taken pictures can be immediately transferred to a computer wire-

lessly connected.

Wireless Printing

• Pictures can be printed with a printer connected to a computer that is

wirelessly connected via home wireless LAN.

• Pictures can be directly transferred to a PictBridge-compatible printer and

printed using the optional wireless printer adapter PD-10.

kNote on Screen Images

Screen images in monitor may differ from the actual display.

lNote on Wireless LAN Configuration

For more information on wireless LAN configuration, contact the manufacturer of the wireless

LAN adapter or access point, or see other commercially available references.

131

What is Wireless Transfer Mode?

Wireless Transfer Mode

lHome Wireless LAN

• This refers to wireless LAN networks connected via ad-hoc mode or infrastructure mode at

home or at the office.

• If Internet connection is possible from the home wireless LAN (Infrastructure mode), you

can use the COOLPIX CONNECT service. However, if the home wireless LAN uses a proxy

server to connect to the Internet, the COOLPIX CONNECT service is not available.

lAd-hoc Mode and Infrastructure Mode

• Ad-hoc mode establishes a peer-to-peer (one-to-one) connec-

tion with a wireless LAN-capable device. With the

COOLPIX S7c’s wireless transfer mode, a peer-to-peer connec-

tion is established between the camera and computer.

• Infrastructure mode connects a wireless LAN-capable device to

a wireless LAN network via an access point. With the

COOLPIX S7c’s wireless transfer mode, this mode connects the

camera and computer via a wireless LAN access point.

lThe Wireless Camera Setup Utility

• To use wireless transfer mode (for configuration and transferring pictures), the Wireless

Camera Setup Utility 2.0 (Setup Utility hereafter) is necessary. Use the supplied Wireless

Camera Setup Utility/PictureProject Software CD to install the Setup Utility.

• The Setup Utility is used for configuring profiles, and must be installed to the computer

used for PC connection (c130, 150). Also, the Setup Utility is used for renaming or delet-

ing profiles, changing the destination folder when transferring pictures to the computer,

and switching the printer used for wireless printing.

• See the Quick Start Guide for more information on installing the Setup Utility.

Image File and Folder Names

Pictures, movies, and voice memos are assigned file names as follows:

• Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-

character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures

taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”; c47), “INTVL” for inter-

val timer photography (e.g., “101INTVL”; c103), “SOUND” or “SOUNE”

for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”; c77), 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”.

• Files copied using [Copy] > [Selected images] or [Copy sound files] >

[Selected files] 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] and [Copy sound files] > [Selected files]

copy 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 (c113).

• Pictmotion movies (c65) are stored under the “NKSS” folder in folders

named with a three-digit folder number followed by “PRJCT” (e.g.,

“101PRJCT”). Each folder contains the picture and sound files for a single

Pictmotion movie.

• Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if a picture is taken when the current

folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding one to

the current folder number. If a picture is taken when the current folder is

numbered 999 and contains 200 pictures or a picture numbered 9999, no

further pictures can be taken until the medium is formatted (c125) or a

new memory card inserted.

• Files for pictures taken when [Off] is selected for [Shoot & Transfer]

(c153) > [Save Images] in wireless transfer mode are named with the

four-digit identifier “STCN” and four-sequence numbers (e.g.,

“STCN0001.JPG”).

Technical Notes

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following

precautions when using or storing the device.

jKeep dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.

jDo not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.

jHandle the lens and all moving parts with care

Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber.

These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera mal-

function 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.

jDo 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.

jKeep away from strong magnetic fields

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromag-

netic 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 stored

on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry.

jAvoid sudden changes in temperature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur 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 temper-

ature.

jTurn 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 dam-

age to product memory or internal circuitry.

163

Caring for the Camera

Technical Notes

jThe AF-Assist Illuminator LED

The light-emitting diode (LED; c6, 123) used in the AF-

assist illuminator conforms to the following IEC standard:

kThe Battery

• Check the battery level when taking the camera out and charge the battery if necessary

(c18). Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in

reduced battery performance. If 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). During charging, the temperature should be in the vicinity of 5 to 35 °C (41 to

95 °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.

• When the battery is not in use, remove it from the camera or battery charger and replace

the terminal cover. The camera and battery charger draw minute amounts of current even

when off; if left in place, the battery could be drained to the point that it no longer func-

tions. Turning the camera on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced bat-

tery life. If the battery will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool (15 to

25 °C / 59 to 77 °F), dry place. Recharge it at least once a year and run it flat before return-

ing it to storage.

• 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.

164

Caring for the Camera

Technical Notes

Cleaning

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

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 naptha or

camphor moth balls or in locations that:

• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as

televisions or radios

• are exposed to temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F)

• are 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 put-

ting the camera away again.

kNotes on the Monitor

• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a char-

acteristic common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images

recorded 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 appear in the

final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.

• 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 service representative.

Lens

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.

Monitor

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.

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 dam-

age not covered by the warranty.

Technical Notes

Electronically Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the camera

may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static

charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery, and then turn the camera on

again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon representative.

Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result in the loss of any

data not recorded to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem occurred.

Data already recorded will not be affected.
