Inserting the Battery and Memory Card

Battery latch

Memory card slot

• With the battery’s positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move the
orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).
• Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).
• Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or backward, as
this could cause a malfunction.

B Formatting a Memory Card
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this
camera, make sure to format it 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.
• Insert the memory card into the camera, press the d button, and select Format card in
the setup menu (A111).

Removing the Battery or Memory Card
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and screen have turned
off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.
• Move the battery latch to eject the battery.
• Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory card.
• Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card immediately after
using the camera, as they may be hot.

Charging the Battery
Electrical outlet
Charging
AC Adapter

Power-on lamp (charge lamp)

USB cable (included)

If a plug adapter* is included with your camera, securely connect it to the Charging AC
Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly remove the plug adapter
could damage the product.
* The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in which the
camera was purchased.
This step can be omitted if the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to the
Charging AC Adapter.
• Charging starts when the camera is connected to an electrical outlet while the
battery is inserted, as shown in the illustration. The power-on lamp (charge lamp)
slowly flashes while the battery is charging.
• When charging is complete, the power-on lamp turns off. Unplug the Charging AC
Adapter from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the USB cable.
Charging time is about 3 hours for a fully exhausted battery.
• The battery cannot be charged when the power-on lamp quickly flashes, possibly
due to one of the reasons described below.
- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.
- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.
- The battery is damaged.

Getting Started
Charging the Battery

Notes About the USB Cable

• Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the UC-E21
could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.
• Check the shape and direction of the plugs and do not insert or remove the plugs at an
angle.

Notes About Charging the Battery

• The camera can be operated while the battery is charging, but the charging time
increases. The power-on lamp (charge lamp) turns off while the camera is being operated.
- Movies cannot be recorded while the battery is charging.
• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than
the EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially available
USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

Opening the Monitor

• You can adjust the direction and angle of the monitor. For normal shooting, fold
the monitor against the back of the camera, facing out (5).
• When you are not using or carrying the camera, fold the monitor against the
camera body with the screen facing in (1).

Notes About the Monitor

When moving the monitor, do not apply excessive force and move slowly within the
monitor’s adjustable range so that the connection will not be damaged.

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 battery 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.

The Auto Off Function

• When no operations are performed for about one minute, the screen turns off, the camera
enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The camera turns off after
remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.
• To turn the screen back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an operation
such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.

When Using a Tripod

• We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:
- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode set to W (off )
- When the zoom is at a telephoto position
• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration reduction to
Off in the setup menu (A111) to prevent potential errors caused by this function.

Using the Flash
In situations where a flash is needed, such as in dark
locations or when the subject is backlit, press the
m (flash pop-up) button to raise the flash.
• When not using the flash, gently push to lower the
flash until it clicks shut.

The red-eye reduction lamp glows before the main flash to reduce the red-eye effect. In
addition, if the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area is processed
to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
• Because the red-eye reduction lamp glows, more time than usual is required until the
shutter is released after you press the shutter-release button.
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
• In rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied to areas of an image unnecessarily. In

Viewing Images Captured Using Face Detection

During playback, the camera automatically rotates images according to the orientation of
the faces that were detected at the time of shooting (except for images captured using
Continuous (A130) or Exposure bracketing (A135)).

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 (A72).

Notes About Recorded Movies

• The zoom indicator is not displayed during movie recording.
• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. If you zoom
in on the subject while recording a movie, the zoom motion temporarily stops at the
position where optical zoom is changed to digital zoom.
• 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.

Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording

Autofocus may not perform as expected (A71). Should this occur, focus using manual
focus (A62, 63) or 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) button to start recording, and modify
the composition.

• Up to 20 still images can be saved while recording a single movie when Movie options is
set to J 2160/30p or K 2160/25p.
• It may take some time to save the images after shooting.
• The frames of a movie that were recorded when a still image was being captured may not
play back smoothly.
• 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.

The process of measuring the brightness of the subject to determine the exposure is
known as “metering.”
Use this option to set the method of how the camera meters exposure.
Option

Description

Matrix
G
(default setting)

The camera uses a wide area of the screen for metering.
Recommended for typical shooting.

q Center-weighted

The camera meters the entire frame but assigns greatest
weight to the subject in the center of the frame. The classic
metering for portraits; it preserves background details while
letting lighting conditions in the center of the frame
determine exposure.*

r Spot

The camera meters the area shown by the circle in the center
of the frame. This can be used when the subject is much
lighter or darker than the background. Ensure that the subject
is within the area shown by the circle when shooting.*

* To set focus and exposure for off-center subjects, change AF area mode to manual and
set the focus area to the center of the frame, and then use focus lock (A72).

Notes About Metering

• When digital zoom is in effect, Center-weighted or Spot is selected depending on the
zoom ratio.
• This function may not be available to use in combination with other functions (A75).

Precautions when Exporting or Carrying This Product Abroad
This product is controlled by the United States Export Administration Regulations
(EAR). The permission of the United States government is not required for export to
countries other than the following, which as of this writing are subject to embargo or
special controls: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria (list subject to change).
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 licence-exempt
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 B700, which is equipped with a TYPE1FJ (FCC ID:VPYLB1FJ / IC ID:772CLB1FJ) 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.

Technical Notes
Caring for the Product

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.

The Battery
Precautions for Use
• Note that the battery may become hot after use.
• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F) as
this could cause damage or malfunction.
• If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell coming
from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or Nikonauthorized service representative.
• After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the battery in
a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.

Charging the Battery
Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if
necessary.
• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F)
before use.
• A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or
completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may become hot
after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging.
When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the Charging AC Adapter or a
computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above
50°C (122°F).
• Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced
battery performance.
• The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a
malfunction.

Carrying Spare Batteries
Whenever possible, carry fully charged spare batteries when taking pictures on important
occasions.

179
Technical Notes
Caring for the Product

Using the Battery When Cold
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is used at a low
temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as
necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its 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.

Charging an Exhausted Battery
Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera may result
in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.

Storing the Battery
• Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not
being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in the
camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and complete
loss of function.
• Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before
returning it to storage.
• Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place. The
battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F
to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.

Battery Life
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.

Recycling Used Batteries
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.

The Charging AC Adapter
• The EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter is for use only with compatible devices. Do
not use with another make or model of device.
• Do not use any USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the UC-E21
could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.
• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than
the EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially available
USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
• The EH-73P/EH-73PCH is compatible with AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When
using in other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as necessary. For
more information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency.
