E 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
concentrated in dark parts of the image.
At settings other than Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A6).
If Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above an ISO 100, the E icon will
be displayed (A31).
F Color Options
Make colors more vivid or record pictures in monochrome.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings
other than Standard color, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the
monitor (A6). Monitor color tones also change depending upon the setting.
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 100 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor, the camera
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600#.
100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200#
Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.
nStandard color (default setting)
Use for pictures exhibiting natural color.
oVivid color
Use to achieve a vivid, “photoprint” effect.
pBlack-and-white
Record pictures in black-and-white.
qSepia
Record pictures in sepia tones.
rCyanotype
Record pictures in cyan-blue monochrome.
uPastel
Change to a pastel shade.

G AF Area Mode
Use this option to determine where the camera focuses.
When digital zoom is in effect, the camera will focus on the subject in the center
focus area regardless of the applied AF area mode option.
zFace priority
The camera automatically detects and focuses on a
face looking toward the camera (Shooting with Face
Priority ➝A93). If the camera detects multiple
faces, the camera focuses on the face closest to the
camera.
When shooting pictures of subjects other than
people, or framing a subject with which no face is
recognized, AF area mode will be set to Auto. The
camera chooses the focus area (one of nine)
containing the subject closest to the camera and focuses on the subject.
wAuto (default setting)
Camera automatically selects the focus area (one of
nine) containing the subject closest to the camera.
Press the shutter-release button halfway to activate
the focus area. When the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway, the focus area selected by the
camera will be displayed in the monitor.
xManual
This option is suited to situations in which the
intended subject is relatively still and not positioned
in the center of the frame.
Press the rotary multi selector H, I, J or K to
select one of 99 focus areas displayed in the
monitor’s focus-area selection screen, and shoot.
To end focus-area selection and adjust the flash
mode, macro mode, self-timer and exposure
compensation settings, press the k button. To
return to the focus-area selection screen, press the

The face-priority function is activated when Face priority is selected for AF area
mode (A91), when shooting in Portrait (A36) or Night portrait (A37) scene
mode, when the camera selects Portrait or Night portrait scene mode in scene
auto selector mode (A45), or when shooting in smile mode (A49).
The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face looking toward the
camera.

BNotes on Face Priority
•When Face priority is selected for AF area mode, the setting will automatically switch to Auto if
no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
•If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or Night
portrait scene mode, or smile mode, the camera will focus on the subject in the center focus area.
•The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
- When the subject is not looking directly at the camera
•The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera.
•In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A27),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this
occur, switch to A (auto) mode and set AF area mode to Manual or Center, refocus on another
subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use
focus lock (A92).
•When pictures in which a face was detected during shooting are played back, the pictures will be
automatically rotated for playback display, according to the orientation of the face detected.
I Autofocus Mode
Choose how the camera focuses.
BNotes on Autofocus Mode
Autofocus mode will be automatically fixed at Single AF when Face priority is selected for AF
area mode (A91).
ASingle AF (default setting)
Camera focuses when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
BFull-time AF
Camera adjusts focus continuously until the shutter-release button is pressed
halfway. Use with moving subjects.

g Vibration Reduction
Vibration reduction effectively corrects blur, caused by slight hand movement
known as camera shake, that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied
or at slow shutter speeds. Vibration reduction can be used in all shooting modes.
Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera
during shooting.
When vibration reduction is enabled, the current setting is displayed during
shooting (when Off is selected, an icon for the current setting is not displayed)
(A6, 23).
BNotes on Vibration Reduction
•Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the power is turned on, or the camera
enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the display stabilizes before shooting.
•Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera’s
monitor immediately after shooting may appear blurry.
•Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some
situations.
•VR stands for vibration reduction.
On (default setting)
Vibration reduction is enabled when taking pictures and recording movies. Camera
detects and factors out panning movements when reducing camera shake. When
camera is panned horizontally, for example, vibration reduction reduces only
vertical shake. If camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction affects only
horizontal shake.
Off
Vibration reduction is not enabled.

Technical Notes
Image/Sound File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies, voice memos, and voice recordings are assigned file names as
follows.
•Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-
character identifier: “SOUND” (normal quality sound) for voice recordings (e.g.,
“101SOUND”; A65), 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”.
•Voice memo file names have the same identifier and file number as the picture
to which the voice memo is attached.
•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
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 (A69, 101).
•A single folder can hold up to 200 pictures; if the current folder already contains
200 pictures, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name,
will be created the next time a picture is taken. If the current folder is numbered
999 and contains 200 pictures, or a picture is numbered 9999, no further
pictures can be taken until the internal memory or memory card is formatted
(A113), or a new memory card is inserted.

Technical Notes
Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when using or storing the device.
BKeep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
BDo Not Drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.
BHandle 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 malfunction 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.
BDo 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.
BKeep 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.
BAvoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as 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 temperature.
BTurn 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 damage to product
memory or internal circuitry.

Caring for the Camera
Technical Notes
CThe Battery
•Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and charge the battery if necessary (A12,
16). 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). When
recharging, the ambient temperature should be in the vicinity of 5 to 35 °C (41 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 from 0 °C to 15 °C (32 °F to 59 °F) and
from 45 °C to 60 °C (113 °F to 140 °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. Should the battery
terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
•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. Recharging an
exhausted battery within six months is recommended.
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 every six months 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.

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 any of the following locations:
•Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
•Exposed to temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F)
•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.
CNotes 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 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-authorized 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 damage 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.
