Information and Precautions

Introduction

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 (A104). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage

to property when physically destroying data storage devices.

If you are using the COOLPIX S610c, reset the wireless LAN settings stored in the camera. For more

information, see page ## and ## of the Wireless LAN Connection Guide.

additional pixels are added through a process known as interpolation, creating a slightly “grainy”

image.

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.

Digital zoom can be disabled from the setup menu (A112).

Optical zoom (up to 4×). Digital zoom is in effect.

Step 3 Focus and Shoot

1Press the shutter-release button halfway.

Camera automatically selects the focus area (one of nine)

containing the subject closest to the camera. When the

subject is in focus, the active focus area glows green.

When digital zoom is in effect, the focus area is not displayed. When the camera focuses

on the subject in the center of the monitor, the focus indicator (A6) will glow green.

Press the shutter-release button halfway to display the shutter speed and aperture.

Focus and exposure remains locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

When the camera is unable to focus, while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway,

the focus area or focus indicator blinks red. Change the composition and try again.

2Press the shutter-release button the rest of

the way down.

BDuring Recording

While pictures and movies are being recorded, the number of exposures remaining display 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.

CAutofocus

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 active focus area, or focus indicator, glows green:

•Subject is very dark

•Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind the subject

and is in deep shadow)

•No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g., when the subject is standing in front of a

white wall, wearing a white shirt)

•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 (A92). 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.

DShutter-Release Button

The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. To set focus and exposure, press the

shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Focus and exposure lock while

the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and take a picture, press the

shutter-release button the rest of the way down.

Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release button, as this may result in camera shake and

blurred pictures.

DAF-assist Illuminator and Flash

If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A111) may light by pressing the shutter-release

button halfway, or the flash (A30) may fire by pressing the shutter-release button all the way down.

Press the shutter-

release button

the rest of the

way down to

take a picture.

Press the shutter-
