The use of third-party rechargeable Li-ion batteries not bearing the

Nikon holographic seal could interfere with normal operation of the

camera or result in the batteries overheating, igniting, rupturing, or

leaking.

For more information about Nikon brand accessories, contact a local

authorized Nikon dealer.

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 (A115). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage

to property when physically destroying data storage devices.

Step 2 Frame a Picture

1Ready the camera.

•Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your

fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash, AF-

assist illuminator, microphone, and speaker.

•When taking pictures in “tall” orientation, turn the

camera so that the built-in flash is above the lens.

2Frame the picture.

•When the camera detects a face, that face will be

framed by a yellow double border (default setting).

•Up to 12 faces can be detected. When the camera

detects more than one face, the face closest to the

camera is framed by a double border AF area, and faces

outside the AF area are framed by single borders.

•AF area will not appear when shooting pictures of subjects other than people, or

framing a subject with which no face is recognized. Position the main subject near the

center of the monitor.

Step 2 Frame a Picture

Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom. Rotate

the zoom control to g to zoom in so that the subject

fills a larger area of the frame, or f to zoom out, thus

increasing the area visible in the frame.

A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor

when the zoom control is rotated.

Digital Zoom

When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position, rotating

and holding the zoom control at g triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified

up to 4× the maximum optical zoom ratio.

Focus will be on the center of the screen (without active focus area display) when

digital zoom is in effect.

CDigital Zoom and Interpolation

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magnify

images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality.

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 Digital zoom option (A123) in the setup menu

(A112).

Step 3 Focus and Shoot

1Press the shutter-release button halfway.

•The camera focuses when the shutter-release button is

pressed halfway (A11).

•When the subject is in focus, the active focus area

glows green.

When a face is detected:

When a face is not detected:

•The 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 used, the focus area is not

displayed and the camera focuses at the center of the frame. Once focus has been

acquired, the focus indicator (A6) will glow green.

•When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the shutter speed and aperture

values also appear.

•Focus and exposure remain locked while the shutter-release button is pressed

halfway.

•If the focus area or focus indicator blinks red when the shutter-release button is

pressed halfway, the camera will be unable to focus. Change the composition and

press the shutter-release button halfway again.

2Press the shutter-release button the rest of

the way down.

•The shutter is released and the picture will be recorded

to the memory card or internal memory.

BDuring Recording

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

BAutofocus

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 and the focus indicator glow 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 (A102). 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.

BFace Priority

See “AF Area Mode” (A101) or “Face Priority” (A103) for more information about Face Priority.

DAF-assist Illuminator and Flash

If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (A123) may light when the shutter-release

button is pressed halfway, or the flash (A28) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed

all the way down.

BShooting When Lighting is Poor and the Flash is Disabled (W)

•Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of

camera shake.

•The E indicator is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken

when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.

BNote on Using the Flash

Reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these

reflections, set the flash to W (off).

CThe Flash Lamp

The flash lamp indicates the flash status when the

shutter-release button is pressed halfway down.

•On: Flash will fire when picture is taken.

•Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try

again.

•Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken.

If the battery is low, the monitor display will turn off, and remain off, until the flash is fully charged.

CThe Flash Setting

The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode.

•A (auto): U (auto)

•Scene: varies with the selected scene mode (A34-40)

•F (smart portrait): fixed at W (off) when On is selected for Blink proof, U (auto) when Off is

Flash cannot be used simultaneously with certain features (A105).

The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the

camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.

CRed-eye Reduction

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”).

Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect.

If the camera detects “red-eye” when a picture is taken, Nikon’s own In-Camera Red-Eye Fix

processes the image before it is recorded.

Note the following when taking pictures:

•Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release button is

pressed and when the picture is shot. This mode is not recommended when a quick shutter

response is required.

•The time required to save the picture increases slightly.

•Advanced red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.

•In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye

reduction processing; in these cases, choose another mode and try again.

pressing the shutter-release button. When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is

recommended.

1Press n (self-timer).

•The self-timer menu is displayed.

2Use the multi selector H or I to choose 10 s

or 2 s and press the k button.

•10 s (ten seconds): Suited for important occasions

(such as weddings)

•2 s (two seconds): Suited for preventing camera

shake

•The mode selected for self-timer is displayed.

•If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button within a few seconds, the

selection will be cancelled.

3Frame the picture and press the

shutter-release button halfway.

•Focus and exposure will be set.

4Press the shutter-release button the

rest of the way down.

•The self-timer starts, and the number of

seconds remaining before the shutter is

released is displayed in the monitor. The self-

timer lamp blinks while the timer is counting

down. About one second before the shutter

is released, the lamp remains lit and stops

blinking.

•When the shutter is released, the self-timer

will be set to k.

•To stop the timer before a picture is taken,

press the shutter-release button again.

Macro Mode

Macro mode is used for taking pictures of objects as close as 3 cm (1.2 in.). Note

that the flash may be unable to light the entire subject at distances of less than

50 cm (1 ft. 8 in.).

1Press p (macro mode).

•The macro menu is displayed.

2Use the multi selector H or I to choose ON

3Rotate the zoom control to frame the picture.

•The closest distance at which the camera can focus

varies depending on the zoom position. At the zoom

position (wide angle position before the G icon)

where the F icon and zoom display glow green, the

camera can focus on subjects as close as 4 cm (1.6 in.)

from the lens. At the wide-most zoom position, the camera can focus on subjects as

close as 3 cm (1.2 in.) from the lens.

CAutofocus

When using macro mode, the camera focuses continuously until focus is locked by pressing the

shutter-release button halfway. A sound will be heard while the camera focuses.

CThe Macro Mode Setting

Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is used to alter exposure from the value suggested by the

camera to make pictures brighter or darker.

1Press o (exposure compensation).

•The exposure compensation guide is displayed.

2Use the multi selector H or I to choose the

desired setting and press the k button.

•When the picture is too dark: adjust the exposure

compensation to “+” side.

•When the picture is too bright: adjust the exposure

compensation to “–” side.

•Exposure compensation can be set to values between

-2.0 and +2.0 EV.

•If a setting is not applied by pressing the k button within a few seconds, the

selection will be cancelled.

•When set to any value other than 0.0, the value is displayed with the H icon in the

monitor.

3Press the shutter-release button to take the

picture.

•To turn off exposure compensation, repeat from step 1

and set the value to 0.0, then press k.

CExposure Compensation Value

The exposure compensation value applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even

after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.

DUsing Exposure Compensation

•The camera tends to reduce exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects and to

increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark. Positive compensation may therefore be

required to capture the brilliancy of very bright objects that fill the frame (for example, sunlit

expanses of water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main

subject.

•Negative compensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects

(for example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main

subject.

The following table lists the approximate number of pictures that can be stored in internal memory

and on a 512 MB memory card. Note that the number of pictures that can be stored will differ

depending on the composition of the picture (due to JPEG compression). In addition, this number

may differ depending on the make of memory card, even if the capacity for the memory card is the

same.

1If the number of exposures remaining is 10,000 or more, the number of exposures

remaining display shows “9999”.

2All figures are approximate. Print size at an output resolution of 300 dpi. Print sizes are

calculated by dividing the number of pixels by printer resolution (dpi) and multiplying by

2.54 cm (1 in.). However, at the same image size, pictures printed at higher resolutions will

print smaller than the size indicated, and those printed at lower resolutions will print larger

than the size indicated.

B White Balance

The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source.

The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with

the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct

sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this

adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is

known as “white balance”. For natural coloration, choose a white balance setting

that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting, Auto,

can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting

suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.

The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings

other than Auto, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A6).

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 the settings other than Auto, the current setting is displayed in the monitor

(A6). If Auto is selected and the sensitivity is raised above ISO 80, the E icon

will be displayed (A29). When set to Fixed range auto, U and the upper limit

of the ISO sensitivity is displayed.

BNotes on ISO Sensitivity

This feature cannot be used simultaneously with certain features. ➝ “Functions that Cannot Be

Applied Simultaneously“ (A105)

Set to A (auto) M d (Shooting menu) M E ISO sensitivity

Auto (default setting)

Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is

off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600.

Fixed range auto

Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from

ISO 80-400 (default setting), or ISO 80-800. The camera will not raise sensitivity

beyond the maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO

sensitivity for effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.

80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200

Sensitivity will be locked at the specified value.

•When ISO sensitivity is locked, Motion detection (A122) does not function.

BNotes on Face priority

•In Face priority, if the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are recognized, AF

area mode will be set to Auto.

•If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or Night

portrait scene mode, or Smart portrait mode, the camera will focus on the subject in the center

focus area.

•Depending on shooting conditions, such as whether or not the subject is facing the camera, faces

may not be detected.

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 there are multiple people in the frame, the face on which the camera focuses depends on a

variety of shooting conditions, such as whether or not the subject is facing the camera.

•In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows

green (A25). 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 (A102).

•Images that were taken using face priority will be rotated and displayed automatically according

to the orientation of the faces detected, in full-frame and thumbnail playback modes (excluding

pictures that were shot using Continuous, BSS and Multi-shot 16 (A98)).

Technical Notes

File and Folder Names

Pictures, movies, and voice memos are assigned file names as follows.

•Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-

character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures shot

using Panorama assist (e.g. “101P_001”; A45), 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 is 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 copies 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 (A110).

•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

(A125), 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.

134

Caring for the Camera

Technical Notes

CThe Battery

•Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and charge the battery if necessary. 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). Failure

to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance.

•Charge indoors at an ambient temperature between 5 and 35 °C (41 to 95 °F). When the battery

temperature is between 0 and 10 °C (32 to 50 °F) or 45 to 60 °C (113 to 140 °F), the chargeable

capacity may decrease. The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above

60 °C (140 °F).

•If an exhausted battery is used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Be sure that the

battery is fully charged and spare batteries are prepared 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 that could not be used temporarily due to lowered performance may recover some of

its charge.

•Should the battery terminals become dirty, the camera may not turn on due to poor contact. Wipe

the terminals off with a clean, dry cloth before use.

•If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat before removing

it for storage. Attach the included terminal cover to the battery and store it in a cool location with

an ambient temperature of 15 to 25 °C (59 to 77 °F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely

cold locations.

•While the battery is in storage, charge it at least once every six months and then use the camera to

run it flat again before storing it in a cool location.

•Always remove the battery from the camera or battery charger when it is not being used. Left

installed, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become

excessively drained and no longer function.

•A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when used at room

temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new battery.

•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.

135

Caring for the Camera

Technical Notes

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 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.

136

Caring for the Camera

Technical Notes

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 naphtha 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.

•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.

CNotes on Smear

White or colored streaks of light may be visible in the monitor with framing of bright subjects. This

phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor. This is

due to characteristics of the image sensor and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also

cause partial discoloration in monitor display with shooting.

Smear does not affect recorded images except when shooting with Continuous set to Multi-shot

16 and when recording movies. When shooting in these modes, avoiding bright objects such as the

sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.

Troubleshooting

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,

then turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact

your retailer or Nikon-authorized service 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.

Monitor turns off, and

the power-on lamp and

flash lamp blink rapidly.

Battery temperature is high. Turn off camera, and allow

battery to cool down before resuming use. After the

lamps blink for three minutes, the camera will turn off

automatically. Pressing the power switch also turns off

the camera.
