BNotes About Target Finding AF
•Depending on shooting conditions, the subject that the camera determines to be the
main subject may vary.
•The main subject may not be detected when using certain White balance settings.
•The camera may not detect the main subject appropriately in the following situations:
- When the subject is very dark or bright
- When the main subject lacks clearly defined colors
- When the shot is framed so that the main subject is on the edge of the screen
- When the main subject is composed of a repeating pattern
Using Face Detection
In the following settings, the camera uses face
detection to automatically focus on human faces.
•o(scene auto selector) mode (A32)
•e (night portrait) or Portrait scene mode (A31)
•Smart portrait mode (A43)
•When AF area mode (A111) in A (auto) mode
(A29) is set to Face priority
If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around the
face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around the other
faces.
If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:
•In o (scene auto selector) mode, the focus area changes depending on the
shooting conditions that the camera recognizes.
•In e (night portrait) and Portrait scene modes or in smart portrait mode, the
camera focuses in the center of the frame.
•In A (auto) mode, the camera selects the focus area containing the subject
closest to the camera.
BNotes About Face Detection
•The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction
in which the faces are looking.
•The camera cannot detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame

Using Skin Softening
In the following shooting modes, if human faces are detected, the camera processes
the image to soften facial skin tones before saving the image (up to three faces).
•Smart portrait mode (A43)
- The amount of Skin softening effect can be adjusted.
•o (scene auto selector) mode (A32)
•e (night portrait) or Portrait in scene mode (A31)
Skin softening can also be applied to saved images by using Glamour retouch in
playback mode (A71).
BNotes About Skin Softening
•It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.
•Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved,
and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.
Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus
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 shooting conditions (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 (A58).

Notes About Movie Recording
BNotes 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.
BNotes About Recorded 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 on the screen while recording movies. These
phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor
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.
BNotes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording
•When Movie VR (A122) 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.
BNotes About Autofocus for Movie Recording
Autofocus may not perform as expected (A57). 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.

Capturing Still Images While Recording 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.
•A still image can be captured when y is displayed
on the screen. When z is displayed, a still image
cannot be captured.
•The size of the captured still image is determined by
the movie image size (A117).
BNotes About Capturing Still Images During Movie Recording
•Still images cannot be saved during movie recording in the following situations:
- When the remaining movie recording time is less than five seconds
- When Movie options (A117) is set to Z 1080/60i, U 1080/50i, g 480/
30p, W480/25p, or HS movie
•The sounds of operating the shutter-release button when saving a still image may be
heard in the recorded movie.
•If the camera moves when the shutter-release button is pressed, the image may be
blurred.

Image Mode (Image Size and Quality)
* Image mode can be set in any shooting mode other than short movie show mode. The
setting is also applied to other shooting modes (except Easy panorama scene mode).
Select the combination of image size and compression ratio to be used when saving images.
The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which it can be printed, and
the lower the compression ratio, the higher the quality of the images, but the number
of images that can be saved is reduced.
* The numerical values indicate the number of pixels that are captured.
Example: P 4608×3456 = approx. 16 megapixels, 4608 × 3456 pixels
BNotes About Printing Images at 1:1 Aspect Ratio
Change the printer setting to “Border” when printing images at a 1:1 aspect ratio. Some
printers may not be able to print images at a 1:1 aspect ratio.
BNotes About Image Mode
This function may not be available to use in combination with other functions (A61).
CNumber of Images That Can Be Saved
•The approximate number of images that can be saved can be checked on the screen
when shooting (A21).
•Note that due to JPEG compression, the number of images that can be saved may vary
greatly depending on the image content, even when using memory cards with the same
capacity and the same image mode setting. In addition, the number of images that can be
saved may vary depending on the make of the memory card.
•If the number of exposures remaining is 10,000 or more, the number of exposures
remaining display shows “9999.”

Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt

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 B500, which is equipped with a LBEE5ZZ1GV-893 (FCC ID:2AAD3JA0M0P0 /
IC ID:4634A-6152EC) Wireless LAN Module, has been tested and found to comply with

Technical Notes
Caring for the Product
Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your
Safety” (Aviii–xi) 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 the memory card or internal circuitry.
Notes About the Monitor
•Monitors (including 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.

Caring for the Product
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 MH-73
Battery Charger. Use only MH-73 Battery Charger to charge EN-MH2 batteries.
•When using MH-73 Battery Charger, 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
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.
151
Technical Notes
Caring for the Product
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.

Cleaning and Storage
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 other sandy or dusty
environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly
dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter
inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.
