WARNINGS

Turn off in the event of malfunction

Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the camera or AC adapter, unplug the AC adapter and remove the battery immediately, taking care to avoid burns. Continued operation could result in injury. After removing or disconnecting the power source, take the equipment to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection.

Do not disassemble

Touching the internal parts of the camera or AC adapter could result in injury. Repairs should be performed only by qualified technicians. Should the camera or AC adapter break open as the result of a fall or other accident, take the product to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection, after unplugging the product and/or removing the battery.

Do not use the camera or AC adapter in the presence of flammable gas

Do not use electronic equipment in the presence of flammable gas, as this could result in explosion or fire.

Handle the camera strap with care

Never place the strap around the neck of an infant or child.

Keep out of reach of children

Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the battery or other small parts into their mouths.

Observe caution when handling the battery

The battery may leak or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following precautions when handling the battery for use in this product:

• Before replacing the battery, turn the product off. If you are using the AC adapter (available separately), be sure to unplug the AC adapter from an electrical power outlet.
• Only use a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL12 (supplied). Charge the battery by inserting it in a Battery Charger MH-65 (supplied).
• When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside down or backwards.
• Do not short or disassemble the battery or attempt to remove or break the battery insulation or casing.
• Do not expose the battery to flame or to excessive heat.
• Do not immerse in or expose to water.
• Replace the terminal cover when transporting the battery. Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
• The battery is prone to leakage when fully discharged. To avoid damage to the product, be sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.
• Discontinue use immediately should you notice any change in the battery, such as discoloration or deformation.

- If liquid from the damaged battery comes in contact with clothing or skin, rinse immediately with plenty of water.

Observe the following precautions when handling the battery charger

• Keep dry. Failure to observe this precaution could result in fire or electric shock.
• Dust on or near the metal parts of the plug should be removed with a dry cloth. Continued use could result in fire.
• Do not handle the power cable or go near the battery charger during lightning storms. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.
• Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or bend the power cable, place it under heavy objects, or expose it to heat or flames. Should the insulation be damaged and the wires become exposed, take it to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection. Failure to observe these precautions could result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not handle the plug or battery charger with wet hands. Failure to observe this precaution could result in electric shock.
• Do not use with travel converters or adapters designed to convert from one voltage to another or with DC-to-AC inverters. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the product or cause overheating or fire.

Use appropriate cables

When connecting cables to the input and output jacks, use only the cables provided or sold by Nikon for the purpose, to maintain compliance with product regulations.

Handle moving parts with care

Be careful that your fingers or other objects are not pinched by the lens cover or other moving parts.

CD-ROMs

The CD-ROMs supplied with this device should not be played back on audio CD equipment. Playing CD-ROMs on an audio CD player could cause hearing loss or damage the equipment.

Observe caution when using the flash

Using the flash close to your subject's eyes could cause temporary visual impairment. Particular care should be observed if photographing infants, when the flash should be no less than one meter (3 ft. 4 in.) from the subject.

Do not operate the flash with the flash window touching a person or object

Failure to observe this precaution could result in burns or fire.

Avoid contact with liquid crystal

Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

Turn the power off when using inside an airplane or the hospital

Turn the power off while inside the airplane during take off or landing. Follow the instructions of the hospital when using while in a hospital. The electromagnetic waves given out by this camera may disrupt the electronic systems of the airplane or the instruments of the hospital.

Observe caution when using the projector

• Do not look directly into the projector window or project in or near human eyes. This could damage the eyes or result in visual impairment.
• Do not project towards the driver of a motor vehicle. Doing so may result in an automobile accident.

2 Frame the picture.

When the camera recognizes a human face, that face will be framed by a yellow double border (default setting).

Up to 12 faces can be recognized. If more than one face is recognized, the face nearest to the camera will be framed in the focus area by a double border, and the other faces will be framed by a single border.

Illustration of a person by the sea with a sailboat and mountains in the background (no text or symbols)

The focus area is not displayed when taking pictures of subjects other than people, or when framing a picture in which no face is recognized. Frame the picture so that the intended subject is at or near the center of the frame.

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom. Rotate the zoom control to T to zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of the frame, or W to zoom out, thus increasing the area visible in the frame.

Zoom out Zoom in W T ON/OFF W T Optical zoom Digital zoom

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 T triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4× the maximum optical zoom ratio. The camera focuses at the center of the frame and the focus area is not displayed when digital zoom is in effect.

Maximum optical zoom T W Digital zoom enabled

Digital 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 ▶. When zoom is increased beyond the ▶ position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied. The position of ▶ 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.

W T Small image size

Digital zoom can be disabled from the Digital zoom option (128) in the setup menu (117).

When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the shutter speed and aperture values also appear.

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

While the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator may blink red. This indicates that the camera is unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the shutter-release button halfway again.

2 Press 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.

Shutter-release Button

The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. To set focus and exposure, press the shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Focus and exposure lock while the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and take a picture, press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release button, as this may result in camera shake and blurred pictures.

During 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.

Autofocus

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 focus area or the focus indicator glow 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)
• 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 (107). 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.

Note on Face Priority

See AF area mode (106) and "Face Priority" (108) for more information.

AF-assist Illuminator and Flash

If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (128) may light by pressing the shutter-release button halfway, or the flash (30) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

• (auto): AUTO (auto)
- Scene: varies with the selected scene mode (☐ 37–42)
- 📋 (smart portrait): fixed at Ⓧ (off) when On is selected for Blink proof, \$AUTO (auto) when Off is selected for Blink proof (☐ 51)
• (subject tracking): AUTO (auto)

The flash mode setting applied in ☐ (auto) mode is stored in the camera's memory even after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time ☐ (auto) mode is selected.

Red-eye Reduction

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction ("In-Camera Red-Eye Fix"). The flash fires several times at low intensity (pre-flash) before the main flash, reducing "red eye." The camera then analyzes the picture; if red-eye is detected, the affected area will be processed to further reduce red-eye before the picture is saved. Please note the followings.

• There is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and the picture being shot because of the pre-flash. This mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required.
• The time before the next picture can be taken increases slightly.
• Advanced red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all 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.

Taking Pictures with the Self-timer

The camera is equipped with a ten-second and two-second timer for self-portraits. This feature is useful for reducing the effects of camera shake that occurs when pressing the shutter-release button.

10 2m [10 12]

Exposure Compensation Value

The exposure compensation value applied in (auto) mode is stored in the camera's memory even after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time (auto) mode is selected.

Using 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.

Taking Pictures with the Remote Control

Use the remote control ML-L4 (supplied; 6) to take pictures. It is convenient for taking self-portraits and effectively eliminates blur caused by camera shake that occurs when the shutter-release button is pressed.

• The remote control can also be used in conjunction with the self-timer.
• When recording movies, use the remote control to start and stop movie recording.
• Use of a tripod is recommended during shooting with the remote control. In this situation, set Vibration reduction (126) to Off when using a tripod during shooting.

(auto) → MENU (Shooting menu) → ← Image mode

Image mode refers to the combination of image size and image quality (compression) at which pictures are recorded. Choose the image mode best suited to the manner in which pictures will be used and the capacity of the internal memory or memory card. The higher the image mode setting, the larger the size at which it can be printed or displayed without appearing noticeably "grainy," but limiting the number of pictures that can be recorded.

Option		Size (pixels)	Description
12h	High (4000★)	4,000 × 3,000	Highest quality, suitable for enlargements or high-quality prints. The compression ratio is approximately 1:4.
12w	Normal (4000)(default setting)	4,000 × 3,000	Best choice in most situations. The compression ratio is approximately 1:8.
8w	Normal (3264)	3,264 × 2,448
5w	Normal (2592)	2,592 × 1,944
3w	Normal (2048)	2,048 × 1,536	Smaller size allows more pictures to be stored. The compression ratio is approximately 1:8.
PC	PC screen (1024)	1,024 × 768	Suited to display on a computer monitor. The compression ratio is approximately 1:8.
TV	TV screen (640)	640 × 480	Suited to full-screen display on a television, or distribution by e-mail. The compression ratio is approximately 1:8.
169	16:9 (3968)	3,968 × 2,232	Pictures with an aspect ratio of 16:9 are recorded. The compression ratio is approximately 1:8.

The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor in shooting and playback modes (☐ 8, 9).

Image Mode

• Change made to this setting applies to all shooting modes (except the movie mode).
• There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See "Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously" (110) for more information.

Number of Exposures Remaining

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 vary depending on the make of memory card, even when the memory cards have the same specified capacity.

Setting		Internal memory (approx. 36 MB)	Memory card ^1 (512 MB)	Print size ^2 (cm/in.)

^1 If the number of exposures remaining is 10,000 or more, the number of exposures remaining display shows “9999”.

2 All 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.

WB White Balance

(auto) → MENU (Shooting menu) → WB 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 colors, 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, the white balance setting suited to a particular light source can be specified manually to achieve more accurate results.

AUTO Auto (default setting)

White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations.

PRE Preset manual

Neutral-colored object used as reference to set white balance under unusual lighting conditions. See "Preset Manual" for more information (102).

Daylight

White balance adjusted for direct sunlight.

Incandescent

Use under incandescent lighting.

Fluorescent

Use under most types of fluorescent lighting.

Cloudy

Use when taking pictures under overcast skies.

Flash

Use with the flash.

The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor (☐ 8). At settings other than Auto, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor.

Note on White Balance

There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See "Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously" (110) for more information.

Flash Mode

At white-balance settings other than Auto or Flash, turn the flash off (Ⓧ) (☐ 30).

Preset Manual

Preset manual is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light).

1 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting.
2 Display shooting menu (98), use the multi selector to choose PRE Preset manual in the White balance menu and press the OK button.

The camera zooms in.

The shutter is released and the new white-balance value is set. No picture is recorded.

Note on Preset Manual

It is impossible to measure a value for preset manual that takes flash lighting into account. When using flash, select Auto or Flash for the White balance setting.

Continuous

(auto) → MENU (Shooting menu) → ☐ Continuous

Enable continuous shooting or BSS (best shot selector). The flash is disabled when Continuous, BSS or Multi-shot 16 is selected, and focus, exposure and white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first picture in each series.

Single (default setting)

One picture is taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed.

Continuous

While the shutter-release button is held down, up to 4 pictures are taken at a rate of about 0.9 frames per second (fps) when Image mode is set to 12M Normal (4000).

BSS (Best Shot Selector)

The "best shot selector" is recommended when shooting with the flash off or the camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which inadvertent motion can result in blurred pictures. When BSS is on, the camera takes up to ten pictures while the shutter-release button is held down. The sharpest picture in the series is automatically selected and saved.

Multi-shot 16

Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, camera takes 16 shots at about 7.2 fps and arranges them in a single images.

• Image mode is set to 5M Normal (2592).

• Digital zoom is not available.

At settings other than Single, the indicator for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (☐ 8).

Notes on Continuous Shooting

• The maximum frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
• There may be functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See "Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously" (110) for more information.

Note on BSS

BSS may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the composition changes while the shutter-release button is held down.

Note on Multi-shot 16

Smear (151) visible in the monitor when shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled will be recorded with images. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled is recommended.

ISO ISO Sensitivity

(auto) → MENU (Shooting menu) → ISO ISO sensitivity

Sensitivity is a measure of the camera's response to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image. Although high ISO sensitivity settings are suited to pictures of moving subjects or those taken under dim lighting, high sensitivity settings are often associated with "noise" - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels - concentrated in dark portions of the image.

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 800.

Fixed range auto

Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from ISO 80-200 (default setting) or ISO 80-400. The camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in the selected range. Specify the maximum ISO sensitivity for effective control over the amount of "grain" that appears in images.

Notes on Face Priority

• If the camera is unable to recognize any faces when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway with AF area mode set to Face priority, the AF area mode setting automatically switches to Auto.
• If no faces are recognized 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 at the center of the frame.
• The camera may be unable to recognize 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
• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces recognized by the camera and the face on which the camera focuses depend upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the faces are looking.
• In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green (27). Should this occur, switch to (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 (107).
• When pictures in which a face was detected during shooting are played back, the pictures will be, automatically rotated for playback display, according to the orientation of the face detected except pictures that were taken using Continuous, BSS and Multi-shot 16 (103).

Vibration Reduction

MENU button → ⚙ (Setup menu) (118) → ⏻ Vibration reduction

Choose a vibration reduction option for shooting.

Vibration reduction effectively reduces blur caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake, which commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds. The effects of camera shake are reduced when recording movies, in addition to when taking still pictures.

Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

On (hybrid)

The effects of camera shake are reduced optically using a lens-shift method. Additional image processing with electronic vibration reduction is applied to further reduce the effects of camera shake with recording of still pictures taken under the following conditions.

• When the flash does not fire
• When a shutter speed slower than 1/60 seconds is used
• When Self-timer is disabled
• When Continuous is set to Single
• When ISO sensitivity is set to 200 or less

On (default setting)

The vibration reduction method using the lens-shift method only is enabled.

Off

Vibration reduction is not enabled.

The current vibration reduction setting can be confirmed in the camera monitor with shooting (☐ 8, 23). When Off is selected, no icon is displayed.

Notes on Vibration Reduction

• Vibration reduction may take a few seconds to activate after the power is turned on, or the camera enters shooting mode from playback mode. Wait until the image of the monitor stabilizes before shooting.
• Due to characteristics of the vibration reduction function, images displayed in the camera's monitor immediately after shooting may be displayed blurry.
• Vibration reduction may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of camera shake in some situations.
• Image processing with electronic vibration reduction may not perform as expected with very slight or extreme camera shake, even when On (hybrid) is selected.
• Image processing with electronic vibration reduction is not enabled at fast or extremely slow shutter speeds, even when On (hybrid) is selected.
• When On (hybrid) is selected and electronic vibration reduction is activated, the shutter is automatically released twice when a picture is taken to allow for image processing. Therefore, the time required to record pictures increases. Shutter sound (129) can be heard only when the shutter is released the first time and a single picture will be recorded.

Motion Detection

MENU button → ⚙ (Setup menu) (☐ 118) → 🔒 Motion detection

Enable motion detection to reduce the effects of subject movement and camera shake when shooting still pictures.

Auto (default setting)

When the camera detects subject movement or camera shake, the shutter speed is automatically increased to reduce blurring.

However, motion detection does not function in the following situations.

• When the flash mode is set to ⬆ (fill flash)
• When ISO sensitivity (104) is set to Fixed range auto or ISO sensitivity is fixed at a particular value in (auto) mode
• When Multi-shot 16 (103) is enabled
• When Sports, Night portrait, Dusk/dawn, Night landscape, Museum, Fireworks show, or Backlight scene mode is enabled
• When subject tracking mode is enabled

Off

Motion detection is not enabled.

The current motion detection setting can be confirmed in the camera monitor with shooting (☐ 8, 23). The motion detection icon turns green when the camera detects camera shake and increases shutter speed. When Off is selected, no icon is displayed.

Notes on Motion Detection

• Motion detection may be unable to completely eliminate the effects of subject movement and camera shake in some situations.
• Motion detection may not function if the subject exhibits significant movement or is too dark.
• The pictures taken using motion detection may be somewhat "grainy" in appearance.

COOLPIX S1000pj ver.x.x Back Nikon

Displaying Pictures with the Projector (Projector Mode)

The COOLPIX S1000pj is equipped with a built-in projector. The ability to project pictures and movies with simple operation makes for a convenient way of enjoying photos at gatherings of family and friends.

Projecting Pictures

1 Place the camera.

Place the projector stand (supplied) on a stable and level surface such as a table.

Place the camera on the projector stand so that the projection on the stand fits into the camera's tripod socket.

Position the camera so that the projector window is pointed at a flat white surface or movie or projector screen.

Tripod socket Projector stand

The projection distance between the camera and screen should be approximately 26 cm to 2 m (10 in. to 6 ft. 6 in.) (139).

2 Turn on the camera and press the button.

The camera enters projector mode and a picture stored in the internal memory or on a memory card inserted into the camera is projected in full-frame playback mode onto the screen.

The camera's monitor turns off while projecting.

3 Adjust the camera position.

To change the projected picture size, adjust the distance between the camera and screen.

Adjust the projection angle to reduce picture distortion.

Projector Distortion

When the supplied projector stand is used, pictures are projected at a slightly upward angle to prevent the surface on which the stand and camera are placed from obstructing picture projection. The slightly upward angle of projection causes a type of distortion known as a keystone effect, skewing picture dimensions. Using a tripod rather than the supplied projector stand to stabilize the camera simplifies camera positioning and may also reduce the keystone effect.

4 Adjust focus for the projected picture.

Turn off unnecessary lights.

Slide the projector focus slider left or right to adjust picture focus.

5 Switch the picture with the remote control (supplied).

Point the remote control at the infrared receiver on the front or rear of the camera (☐ 4, 5) within a distance of approximately 5 m (16 ft.).

Image/Sound File and Folder Names

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

DSCN0001.JPG

Identifier (not shown on camera monitor)		Extension (indicates file format)
Original still pictures (voice memo attachment included) and movies	DSCN	Still pictures	.JPG
		Movies	.AVI
Cropped copies (voice memo attachment included)	RSCN	Voice memos	.WAV
Small copies (voice memo attachment included)	SSCN	File number (assigned automatically in ascending order, starting with "0001")
Quick retouch copies, D-Lighting copies and Skin softening copies (voice memo attachment included)	FSCN

• Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five-character identifier: "P_" plus a three-digit sequential number for pictures taken in Panorama assist scene mode (e.g. "101P_001"; 47) 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 are 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 (115).
• 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 (130), or a new memory card is inserted.

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following precautions when using or storing the device.

Keep dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.

Do not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.

Handle the lens, projector window and all moving parts with care

Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, projector window, 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.

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 deterioration of the CCD image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.

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. Strong static charge 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.

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.

Turn 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.

The Battery

• Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever 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 the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5^ to 35^ (41°F to 95°F) before use. When the battery temperature is between 0 and 10^ (32 to 50^ ) or 45 to 60^ (113 to 140^ ), the chargeable capacity may decrease. The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0^ (32°F) or above 60^ (140°F).
• Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance or prevent it from charging normally.
• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully charged 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 may recover some of its charge.
• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
• If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and completely exhaust it before removing it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15 to 25^ (59 to 77^ ). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.
• Always remove the battery from the camera or battery charger when it is not being used. When inserted, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become excessively drained and no longer function. Turning the camera on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life.
• Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before returning it to storage.
• After removing the battery from the camera or battery charger, replace the supplied terminal cover and store in a cool place.
• 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 EN-EL12 battery.
• Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource. Recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Cleaning

Lens/projector window	Avoid touching the lens/projector window 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/projector window with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of them and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean them 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.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Storage

Turn the camera off when not in use. Be sure 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^ (14°F) or above 50^ (122°F)
• Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity 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.

Notes 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.
• 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.

• 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.
