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,
images of empty sky). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property
when physically destroying data storage devices.
To delete the Wi-Fi settings, select Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options
menu (A75).

Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada
(IC)
Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licenceexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this
device.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however,
that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless
devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range
while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by
heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested
that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been
confirmed by additional research.
COOLPIX L840, which is equipped with a WSDB-686GN (FCC ID:2AAD3AA1G0J0
/ IC ID:4634A-2150EC) Wireless LAN Module, has been tested and found to
comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in
Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website.
Introduction
Declaration of Conformity (Europe)
Hereby, Nikon Corporation, declares that COOLPIX L840 is in compliance with
the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/
EC. The declaration of conformity may be consulted at

The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In rare cases,
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus
indicator is displayed in green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun
behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject
wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is
inside a cage)
• Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple
rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.)
• 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 positioned at the same
distance from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock
(A54).

Notes About Movie Recording
Notes About Saving Images or Movies
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing
the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do
not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the
batteries or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in
loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.
Notes About Recorded Movies
Recording and Playing Back Movies
• When using the camera’s internal memory, saving movies may take some time.
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.
• The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement,
vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be
recorded.
• The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies.
These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodiumvapor lighting.
- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a
moving train or car, may appear skewed.
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is
moved.
• Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored
stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.)
during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject
and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.
Notes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording
• When Movie VR (A103) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of
view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording.
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Movie VR to Off
to prevent potential errors caused by this function.
Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording
Autofocus may not perform as expected (A53). Should this occur, try the following:
1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to Single AF (default setting) before
starting movie recording.
2. Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the
intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record)
button to start recording, and modify the composition.

• The sound of pressing the shutter-release button may be recorded in the movie.
• If the camera moves when the shutter-release button is pressed, the image may be
blurred.
Recording and Playing Back Movies
If the shutter-release button is pressed all the
way while recording a movie, one frame is saved
as a still image. Movie recording continues while
the still image is being saved.
• While y is displayed in the monitor, still
images can be captured. While z is

Caring for the Product
Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For
Your Safety” (Av–vii) when using or storing the device.
The Camera
Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition,
do not touch or apply force to the lens.
Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
Avoid 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.
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. Doing so could result in loss of data or
camera malfunction.
Do 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 the image sensor to
deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs.
Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power
Source or Memory Card
Do not remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being saved
or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data
or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.
• Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision;
at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or
defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white,
red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect
on images recorded with the device.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction.
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.
Technical Notes
Notes About the Monitor
133
Batteries
Precautions for Use
• Note that the batteries may become hot after use.
• Do not use batteries beyond their recommended expiration date.
• Do not turn the camera on and off repeatedly if discharged batteries are inserted in
the camera.
Carrying Spare Batteries
We recommend carrying spare batteries depending on where you are shooting. It
may be difficult to purchase batteries in certain areas.
Charging Batteries
If using optional rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries before taking pictures.
Batteries are not fully charged at the time of purchase.
Be sure to read and follow the warnings noted in the operating instructions included
with the battery charger.
Charging Rechargeable Batteries
• Do not mix batteries with different amounts of charge remaining, or batteries of a
different make or model.
• When using EN-MH2 batteries with this camera, charge four batteries at a time using
Battery Charger MH-73. Use only Battery Charger MH-73 to charge EN-MH2 batteries.
• When using Battery Charger MH-73, only charge EN-MH2 batteries.
• EN-MH1 rechargeable Ni-MH batteries cannot be used.
Notes About Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries
• If you repeatedly charge rechargeable Ni-MH batteries while they still have some
charge remaining, the message Battery exhausted. may be displayed prematurely
when using the batteries. This is due to the “memory effect,” in which the amount of
charge the batteries can hold decreases temporarily. Use the batteries until there is
no charge remaining and they will return to their normal behavior.
• Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries discharge even when not being used. We
recommend charging the batteries just before using them.
Using the Batteries When Cold
Technical Notes
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If exhausted batteries are
used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a
warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, cold batteries may recover
some of their charge.
Battery Terminals
Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the
battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
Remaining Battery Charge
If you insert discharged batteries into the camera, the camera may indicate that the
batteries have adequate charge remaining. This is a characteristic of batteries.
134
Recycling Used Batteries
Replace the batteries when they no longer hold a charge. Used batteries are a
valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Memory Cards
Precautions for Use
• Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See “Approved Memory Cards” (A152) for
recommended memory cards.
• Be sure to follow the precautions described in the documentation included with
the memory card.
• Do not put labels or stickers on memory cards.
Formatting
Technical Notes
• Do not format the memory card using a computer.
• The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into
this camera, be sure to format it with this camera.
We recommend formatting new memory cards with this camera before using
them with this camera.
• Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and
other data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish
to keep before formatting the memory card.
• If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when the
camera is turned on, the memory card must be formatted. If there is data that you
do not want to delete, select No. Copy the necessary data to a computer, etc. If you
want to format the memory card, select Yes. The confirmation dialog will be
displayed. To start formatting, press the k button.
• Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to or
deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the camera
or memory card:
- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the
batteries or memory card.
- Turn off the camera.
- Disconnect the AC adapter.
135
Cleaning and Storage
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
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
