Format Memory/ Format Card
If no memory card is inserted, this option is named Format memory and formats
internal memory. Otherwise it is named Format card and formats the memory
card for use in the camera. Note that formatting permanently deletes all pictures
and other data. Be sure to make copies as required before formatting.
Two format options are available when a memory card is inserted: Quick format
(formats only areas of the card on which data are stored) and Normal (formats
entire card). Normal is not available when batteries are low.
Format
Do not turn the camera off, disconnect the AC adapter, or remove the battery or memory card
during formatting. Use the Normal option to format memory cards before first use and reformat them regularly thereafter. Without regular formatting, performance will drop with use.

AC adapter during formatting or while data are being written to or deleted from the card.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in loss of data or damage to the camera or
card.
• Do not disassemble or modify.
• Do not drop, bend, or expose to water or strong physical shocks.
• Do not touch the metal terminals with your fingers or metal objects.
• Do not affix labels or stickers to the memory card.
• Do not leave in direct sunlight, closed vehicles, or areas exposed to high temperatures.
• Do not expose to high levels of humidity or to corrosive gas.

Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following precautions when storing or using the device.
Handle the lens and all moving parts with care
The lens, monitor, and battery-chamber/
memory card slot and lens covers are easily
damaged. Do not use force. Force applied
to the lens cover could cause malfunction or
damage the lens. Should the monitor break,
care should be taken to avoid injury due to
broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal
from the display touching the skin or entering
the eyes or mouth.
Do not point the lens at strong light sources for extended periods
Avoid framing the sun or other strong light
sources for extended periods when using or
storing the camera. Intense light may cause
deterioration in the image sensor, producing
a white blur effect in photographs.
Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source
Do not unplug the product or remove the
battery while the product is on, or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly
cutting power could result in loss of data or
in damage to product memory or circuitry. To
prevent an accidental interruption of power,
do not move the product while the AC adapter is connected.
Technical Notes
Keep dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in
water or subjected to high levels of moisture.
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to
strong shocks or vibration.
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 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.
Avoid 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
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.
The AF-Assist Illuminator LED
The light-emitting diode (LED;
2, 21) used
in the AF-assist illuminator conforms to the
following IEC standard:
CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT
IEC60825-1 Edition 1.2-2001
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.
• When you frame 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 in a bright light.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact
your Nikon service representative.
92
Cleaning
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). To remove fingerprints or other stains that can
not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion
that starts in the center of the lens and works out to 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 damage not covered under warranty.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Technical Notes
Batteries
• Check the battery level when taking the camera out and charge the battery if necessary
( 11). 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 5–35 °C (41–95 °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 functions.
Turning the camera on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life.
If the battery will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool (15 °C–25 °C / 59 °F–
77 °F), dry place. Recharge it at least once a year and run it flat before returning 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.
93
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is off before
putting the camera away and remove the batteries 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 putting the camera
away again.

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 batteries, 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.

• DCF: Design Rule for Camera File System (DCF) is standard widely used in the digital camera
industry to ensure compatibility among different makes of camera.
• DPOF: Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-wide standard that allows pictures to
be printed from print orders stored on the memory card.
• Exif version 2.2: This camera supports Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format for Digital Still
Cameras) version 2.2, a standard that allows information stored with photographs to be
used for optimal color reproduction when images are output on Exif-compliant printers.
• PictBridge: A standard developed by in cooperation with the digital camera and printer
industries, allowing photographs to be output directly to a printer without connecting the
camera to a computer.
• ImageLink: The ImageLink standard allows pictures taken with a digital camera to be printed directly on a household printer, without using a computer. The camera can be connected directly to any ImageLink-compatible printer for one-touch picture printing.

Image File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies, and voice memos are assigned file names with three parts: a four letter identifier, a four-digit file number assigned automatically by the camera in ascending order, and a
three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”).

Pictures and sound files are stored in folders named with a three-digit 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”;
29–30), “INTVL” for interval timer photography (e.g.,
64), “SOUND” or “SOUNE” for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”;
38), and
“101INTVL”;
“NIKON” for all other pictures (e.g, “100NIKON”). 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 ( 76) or a new memory card inserted.
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 >
Copy all files copy all folders from the source device; file names do not change but new
folder numbers are assigned in ascending order starting from the largest folder number on
the destination device ( 40, 69).
Pictmotion movies ( 48) are stored under the “NKSS” folder in folders named with a threedigit folder number followed by “PRJCT” (e.g., “101PRJCT”). Each folder contains the picture
and sound files for a single Pictmotion movie.
Technical Notes
Copies ( 42, 43, 69)
Copies created using crop ( 42), D-Lighting ( 43), and small picture ( 69) have the same
transfer marking as the original but are not marked for printing or protection. Copies created
using Copy ( 69) have the same protection marking as the original but are not marked for
printing or transfer. The crop and small picture options can not be used with copies created
with crop or small picture; D-lighting is not available with copies created with crop, D-lighting, or small picture.
