Use Only Nikon Brand Electronic Accessories

Nikon COOLPIX cameras are designed to the highest standards and include complex

electronic circuitry. Only Nikon brand electronic accessories (including battery chargers,

could interfere with normal operation of the camera or result in the batteries overheating,

igniting, rupturing, or leaking.

Comply with Copyright Notices

Under copyright law, photographs or recordings of copyrighted works made with the

camera can not be used without the permission of the copyright holder. Exceptions apply

to personal use, but note that even personal use may be restricted in the case of

resetting, erase all data in the device using commercial deletion software, or format the

device in Format memory or Format card in the setup menu (A111), 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

memory cards.

Tone Level Information Display

You can check for loss of contrast detail in highlights and shadows from the

histogram that is displayed, or the flashing display for each tone level. These provide

guidelines when adjusting the image brightness with functions such as exposure

compensation.

1A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. The

horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and bright

tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.

2The tone level indicates the brightness level. When the tone level to check is

selected using the multi selector JK or rotating it, the area of the image that

corresponds to the selected tone level flashes.

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.

BFormatting 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).

Getting Started

Charging the Battery

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.

BNotes 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.

BNotes 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.

•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).

BNotes 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.

Tips for Setting Exposure

The sense of dynamism and amount of background defocus in subjects vary by

changing the combinations of shutter speed and f-number even if the exposure is the

same.

Effect of the Shutter Speed

The camera can make a fast-moving subject appear static at a fast shutter speed, or

highlight the motion of a moving subject at a slow shutter speed.

Effect of the F-number

The camera can bring the subject, foreground and background into focus, or blur the

subject’s background intentionally.

CShutter Speed and F-number

•The control range of the shutter speed differs depending on the zoom position, f-number,

or ISO sensitivity setting.

•The f-number of this camera also changes depending on the zoom position.

•When zooming is performed after the exposure is set, exposure combinations or the

f-number may be changed.

•Large apertures (expressed by small fnumbers) let more light into the camera, and small

apertures (large f-numbers) let less light. The smallest f-number represents the largest

aperture, and the largest f-number represents the smallest aperture.

2Availability depends on the setting. See “Default Settings (Flash, Self-timer, and Focus

Mode)” (A73) for more information.

CAuto with Red-eye Reduction/Red-eye Reduction

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

these cases, select another flash mode and take the picture again.

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.)

•Press the s button to display the movie frame (A7). Check the range of a

movie in the frame before movie recording.

•The area that is recorded in a movie varies depending on the settings of Movie

options, Electronic VR, etc. in the movie menu.

Focusing

•The focus can be adjusted during movie recording in the following manner in accordance

with the Autofocus mode (A148) setting of the movie menu.

-A Single AF (default setting): The focus is locked when movie recording starts. To

perform the autofocus function during movie recording, press the multi selector J.

-B Full-time AF: The focus is adjusted repeatedly even during movie recording.

•When the focus mode (A61) is E (manual focus), adjust the focus manually. The focus

can be adjusted while recording movies by rotating the multi selector counterclockwise

to focus on far subjects or clockwise to focus on near subjects.

Exposure

•When the multi selector K is pressed during movie recording, the exposure is locked. To

unlock, press K again.

Maximum Movie Recording Time

Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even when there is

sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.

•The remaining recording time for a single movie is displayed on the shooting screen.

•Recording may end before either limit is reached if camera temperature becomes

elevated.

•The actual remaining recording time may vary depending on the movie content, subject

movement, or type of memory card.

•Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended for recording

movies (when recording 4K UHD movies at an image size/frame rate of 2160/30p or

2160/25p, cards rated UHS Speed Class 3 or faster are recommended). When using a

memory card with a lower Speed Class rating, movie recording may stop unexpectedly.

Movies

Basic Operations of Movie Recording and Movie Playback

BCamera Temperature

•The camera may become hot when recording movies for an extended period of time or

when the camera is used in a hot area.

•If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera

will automatically stop recording. The amount of time remaining until the camera stops

recording (B10s) is displayed.

After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.

Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.

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 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.

BNotes 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.

BNotes 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.

Movies

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 (JPEG image). Movie recording continues while

the still image is being saved.

•A still image can be captured when Q is displayed

on the screen. When f is displayed, a still image

cannot be captured.

•The size of the captured still image is determined by

the movie image size (A145).

BNotes About Capturing Still Images During Movie Recording

•Still images cannot be saved during movie recording in the following situations:

- When movie recording is paused

- When the remaining movie recording time is less than five seconds

- When Movie options (A145) is set to HS movie

•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.

Metering

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.

* 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).

BNotes 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).

Option Description

GMatrix

(default setting)

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

Recommended for typical shooting.

qCenter-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.*

rSpot

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.*

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:772C-

LB1FJ) 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 Nikon-

authorized 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.

180

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.
