Introduction
Life-Long Learning
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or builtin 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 (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.

Battery charging.
Battery fully charged.
The battery is not inserted correctly. Remove the battery and
reinsert it into the battery charger so that the battery is lying flat.
• Use the charger at an ambient temperature range of 5 to 35 °C
(41 to 95 °F) to charge the battery.
• The battery is faulty. Unplug the charger immediately and stop
charging the battery. Bring the battery and charger to a Nikonauthorized service representative for inspection.
First Steps
First Steps
The camera uses a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL12 (supplied).
Charge the battery using the Battery Charger MH-65 (supplied) before first use or
when the battery is running low.
Recharging an exhausted battery within six months is recommended.
• If you are using the COOLPIX S610c, the Battery Charger MH-65 is not supplied
with the camera. Insert the battery into the camera and charge it by connecting
the AC adapter. Proceed to “Inserting the Battery into the Camera” (A 14) and
“Charging the Battery Using the AC Adapter (COOLPIX S610c)” (A 16).
Unplug the charger.
Remove the battery and unplug the charger.
Charge the battery.
Insert the battery into the battery charger. Slide the
battery forward 1 and then press down until it locks
into place 2.
• Be sure to read and follow the warnings for the battery charger on page iii before using the battery
charger.
• The supplied battery charger is for use only with a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL12. Do not use
with incompatible batteries.
• When charging, the ambient temperature should be in the vicinity of 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F).
• The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F). Charge
capacity may be reduced at battery temperatures of 0 °C to 10 °C (32 °F to 50 °F) and 45 °C to 60 °C
(113 °F to 140 °F).
CHARGE lamp starts blinking 3 when battery is

Notes on the Battery Charger
Notes on AC Power Supply
• To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use the AC Adapter EH-63 (available
separately from Nikon) (A 117). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of
AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the
camera.
• If you are using the COOLPIX S610, the battery cannot be charged by inserting it into the camera
and connecting the AC adapter. The AC adapter and the supplied audio/video cable or USB cable
cannot be used at the same time.

detection option is set to Auto (default settings).
• q: The Vibration reduction option is set to On, and the Motion detection option is set to Off.
Blur, caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake, that commonly occurs when
shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds, can be effectively reduced.
• r: The Motion detection option is set to Auto, and the Vibration reduction option is set to
Off. Camera shake and subject movement are detected with shooting, and shutter speed is
increased to reduce their effects. Motion detection does not function when recording movies.
• Off: Both the Vibration reduction and Motion detection options are set to Off.
• Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

Using the Zoom
Use the zoom buttons to activate optical zoom. Press
the f button to zoom out, increasing the area visible
in the frame, or the g button to zoom in so that the
subject fills a larger area of the frame.
Press the zoom buttons to show the current zoom
ratio with an indicator displayed at the top of the
monitor.

Digital Zoom and Interpolation
If the size (in pixels) of a digital crop is smaller than the current image mode (A 84) setting,
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.
When an image size is small

Digital zoom can be disabled from the setup menu (A 112).

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.

Aperture
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 (A 6) 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.
Shutter-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.

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.
