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 (A 104). 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.

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. When an image size is small 24 Digital zoom can be disabled from the setup menu (A 112). 25 Q7115_25_UM_EN_1st Q7115_25_UM_EN.book Page 26 Friday, May 30, 2008 2:32 PM Q7115_25_UM_EN.book Page 27 Friday, May 30, 2008 2:32 PM Step 3 Focus and Shoot Step 3 Focus and Shoot Press the shutter-release button halfway. During 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. 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. 1/60 Shutter Speed F2.7 Aperture When digital zoom is in effect, the focus area is not displayed.

Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode 16 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 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 (A 92). 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. 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. Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. Press the shutterrelease button halfway to set focus and exposure. The shutter will be released, and the picture will be recorded to the memory card or internal memory. Press the shutterrelease button the rest of the way down to take a picture. AF-assist Illuminator and Flash If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A 111) may light by pressing the shutter-release button halfway, or the flash (A 30) may fire by pressing the shutter-release button all the way down. 26 27
