Notice Concerning Prohibition of Copying or Reproduction

Note that simply being in possession of material that was digitally copied or reproduced by means of a scanner, digital camera or other device may be punishable by law.

- Items prohibited by law from being copied or reproduced

Do not copy or reproduce paper money, coins, securities, government bonds or local government bonds, even if such copies or reproductions are stamped "Sample." The copying or reproduction of paper money, coins, or securities which are circulated in a foreign country is prohibited. Unless the prior permission of the government was obtained, the copying or reproduction of unused postage stamps or post cards issued by the government is prohibited. The copying or reproduction of stamps issued by the government and of certified documents stipulated by law is prohibited.

Notes on 🎨 (Easy Auto) Mode

• The desired scene mode may not be selected in certain condition. In this case, select another shooting mode.
• When digital zoom is in effect, shooting mode is 📋.

Using the Zoom

Rotate the zoom control to T or W to activate optical zoom.

• To zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of the frame, rotate to T.
• To zoom out so that the area visible in the frame increases, rotate to W.
• The zoom position is set at the maximum wide-angle position when the camera is turned on.
• A zoom indicator is displayed in the monitor during zooming.

Zoom out Zoom in W T W T

W Optical zoom Digital zoom

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 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 according to the image mode (39) and digital zoom magnification.

Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond ☐ when taking still pictures. 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.

Small image size

1 Press the shutter-release button halfway.

Focus is locked when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (☐ 8).

When a face is detected, it is framed by the double border indicating the active focus area. When the subject is in focus, the double border turns green.

Diagram showing a hand pressing down on a device, with an arrow indicating the process.

Shutter speed Aperture

The camera automatically selects the focus area (up to nine areas) suitable to the shooting scene. When the subject is in focus, the focus area (12, 50) that is selected is displayed in green.

When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed and the camera focuses at the center of the frame. Once focus has been acquired, the focus indicator will glow green.

When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the shutter speed and aperture value are also displayed.

Focus indicator AF

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

When the camera detects subject movement or camera shake and increases shutter speed, the shutter speed indicator will turn green (motion detection; ☐ 51).

If the focus area or the focus indicator blinks red when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, 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.

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 glows 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)
• Regular geometric patterns (e.g. window blind or windows in a skyscraper)
• 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 (☐ 46). When focusing on another subject, be sure that the alternate subject is at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

Note on Face Detection

See "Notes on the Face Detection Function" (☐ 50) for more information.

Touch Shutter

At the default setting, the shutter can be released by simply tapping a subject in the monitor (☐ 41) without pressing the shutter-release button. The Touch shutter option can be changed to the Touch AF/AE option, which allows the camera to set the focus and exposure on the subject that is tapped on the monitor. When using the Touch AF/AE option, the picture is taken by pressing the shutter-release button (☐ 44).

Blink Warning Screen

When a picture is taken with the face detection function and the camera detects that a portrait subject may have blinked while 📄 Blink warning set to On, the blink warning screen (157) is displayed in the monitor.

AF-assist Illuminator and Flash

If the subject is poorly lit, the AF-assist illuminator (151) may light when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, or the flash (34) may fire when the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

Red-eye Reduction

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

To reduce red-eye, a series of low-intensity pre-flashes fire before the main flash. In addition, if the camera detects red-eye when a picture is taken, the affected area is processed to reduce red-eye before the picture is saved.

Note the following when shooting:

• Due to the pre-flashes, there is a longer than usual interval between the time the shutter-release button is pressed and the time the shutter is released.
• More time than usual is required to record pictures.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
• In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by red-eye reduction processing; in these cases, choose another flash 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. When using the self-timer, use of a tripod is recommended. Set Vibration reduction (☐ 150) to Off in the setup menu (☐ 142) when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

Image Mode (Image Quality/Image Size)

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
4w 4320×3240★	4320 × 3240	Higher quality than 4w suitable for enlargements or high-quality prints. The compression ratio is approximately 1:4.

When the camera is pointed at a human face, face detection, which the camera automatically detects that face and focus on it, starts. The face detection function is activated in the following situations.

• In 📋 (easy auto) mode (☐ 26)
• In (auto) mode (52)
• In smart portrait mode (73)

- In Portrait (64), or Night portrait (65) scene mode

Notes on the Face Detection Function

• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
• When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
• When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
• When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected 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 cases, including those noted in “Autofocus” (31), autofocus may not perform as expected, and the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this occur, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject (46).

Motion Detection

In (easy auto) mode or (auto) mode, when the camera detects subject movement or camera shake, ISO sensitivity and shutter speed are increased to reduce blurring. In this case, the shutter speed indicator will turn green.

• 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.

- It may be impossible to register the desired subject, or the camera may be unable to track the registered subject or may begin tracking a different subject, if the subject is moving rapidly, if there is a significant amount of camera shake, or if the camera detects a similar subject. The camera's ability to accurately track the registered subject is also dependent upon the size and brightness of the subject.
- In some rare cases, subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (☐ 31) may be out of focus despite the fact that the focus area glows green. In this situation, focus on another subject which is at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway (☐ 46).
- There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See "Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously" (77) for more information.

Touch Shooting Setting

Subject registration with subject tracking will be canceled when the camera is turned off.

ISO ISO Sensitivity

(auto) → Tap the bottom tab → ISO ISO sensitivity

The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing capturing darker subjects.

Also, a higher sensitivity allows higher shutter speeds, resulting in the picture with less camera shake and subject blur in comparison to the same subject taken under the same brightness.

- Although high ISO sensitivity settings are suited to pictures of subjects taken under dim lighting, those taken without flash, or those taken at telephoto setting, high sensitivity settings are often associated with "noise"- randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels- concentrated in dark portions of images.

AUTO Auto (default setting)

Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800.

A ISO Fixed range auto

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

80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400

Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.

Notes on ISO Sensitivity

• There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See "Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously" (77) for more information.
• When the ISO sensitivity setting is set to any option other than Auto, motion detection (☐ 51) is disabled.

Notes on ISO Sensitivity 3200 and 6400

• When ISO sensitivity is set to 3200 or 6400, Image mode settings are limited to 3M 2048×1536, PC 1024×768, and VGA 640×480.
• When ISO sensitivity is set to 3200 or 6400, the image mode icon is displayed in red during shooting.

Enable continuous shooting or BSS (best shot selector).

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 (at an Image mode setting of 4320×3240).

BSS 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, the camera takes 16 shots at a rate of about 7 fps and arranges them in a single image.

Pictures are recorded at an image mode setting of 5M (image size: 2560 × 1920 pixels). This setting cannot be changed. Digital zoom is not available.

Notes on Continuous Shooting

• When Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected, the flash is disabled. Focus, exposure, and white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first picture in each series.
• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.
• There are functions with which this setting cannot be enabled. See "Camera Settings that Cannot Be Applied Simultaneously" (77) for more information.

Note on BSS

BSS is effective when taking pictures of still subjects. 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 (177) 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.

WB White Balance (Adjusting Hue)

(auto) → Tap the bottom tab → 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" (60) for more information.

Daylight

White balance adjusted for direct sunlight.

Incandescent

Use under incandescent lighting.

Fluorescent

Cloudy

Flash

Use with the flash.

Note on White Balance

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).

Follow the procedure below to measure the white balance value according to the light source when shooting.

1 Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting.
2 Tap the bottom tab to display the setting controls (☐ 16) and tap WB.

3 Press the ● (movie-record) button again to end recording.

Note on Saving Movies

After a movie has been recorded, it is not fully saved to the internal memory or memory card until monitor display returns to the shooting display. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover before movies have been fully saved. Removing the memory card while movies are being saved could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.

Recording Movies

• Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording movies (179). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class ratings are used.
• Digital zoom deteriorates picture quality. If digital zoom is not used when movie recording is started and the zoom control is rotated continuously in the T direction, the zoom stops at the maximum optical zoom ratio. Release the zoom control and rotate it again in the T direction to trigger digital zoom. Digital zoom is canceled when movie recording is finished.
• In some cases, movie recordings may capture the sounds of the camera, such as the sounds produced by the zoom control operation, the movement of the lens during auto focus or zoom, the vibration reduction function, or the aperture control when the brightness changes.
• Smear (177) visible in the monitor with movie recording will be recorded with movies. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when recording movies is recommended.
• When recording or playing back movies, colored stripes (interference patterns or moiré) may appear on subjects that have a regular, repeating grid, such as pattern of weave in cloths or windows in a building, depending on the shooting distance or zoom ratio. This phenomenon occurs when the subject's pattern interferes with the camera sensor grid, and it does not indicate a malfunction.

Notes on Autofocus for Movie Recording

• When ^AF Single AF (default setting) is selected for Movie AF mode in the setup menu, focus is locked by pressing the ● (movie-record) button to start recording (☐ 127).

• Autofocus may not perform as expected (☐ 31). Should this occur, try the following:

• Set Movie AF mode in the setup menu to Single AF (default setting) before starting movie recording.

• Frame a different subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the ● (movie-record) button to start recording, and then modify the composition.

Functions Available with Movie Recording

• Current exposure compensation setting, white balance setting specified for (auto) mode, and the scene effect adjustment slider specified for scene mode setting are also applied with movie recording. When macro mode is enabled, movies of subjects closer to the camera can be recorded. Confirm settings before starting movie recording.
• The self-timer (37) can be used. When the ● (movie-record) button is pressed after the self-timer is enabled, the camera focuses after ten or tow seconds, and then the movie recording starts.
  • The flash will not fire.
• The Movie options, Movie light, or Movie AF mode setting can be made before starting movie recording (125).

QVGA QVGA (320 × 240)	Movies with an aspect ratio of 4:3 are recorded. • Image size: 320 × 240 pixels • Movie bitrate: 640 kbps

• The movie bit rate is the volume of movie data recorded per second. As a variable bit rate (VBR) system has been adopted, the movie recording rate varies automatically according to the subject so that more data is recorded per second for movies containing frequently moving subjects, thus increasing movie file size.
• The frame rate is approximately 30 frames per second in any options.

Date Imprint and Print Set

When printing from DPOF-compatible printers that support the printing of shooting date and photo information, the date and information can be printed without imprinting this information on them, using settings in the Print set option (101).

Vibration Reduction

Tap the bottom tab (143) → Tap ♪ (Setup menu) → ⏻ Vibration reduction

Choose a vibration reduction option for shooting.

Vibration reduction reduces blur caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake, which commonly occurs when shooting with telephoto 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 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 (☐ 12, 27). 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.
• Date imprint (149) and On (hybrid) for Vibration reduction cannot be applied simultaneously. When taking pictures with the setting of On (hybrid) for Vibration reduction, Date imprint is set to Off.
• 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 (152) can be heard only when the shutter is released the first time and a single picture will be recorded.

Projecting Pictures

1 Place the camera.

Place the camera on a stable and level surface such as a table.

Point the projector window at a screen (available commercially) or flat white surface.

The projection distance between the camera and screen should be approximately 26 cm (10 in.) to 2.4 m (7 ft. 10 in.) (165).

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.

Diagram showing camera control interface with directional arrows and a digital camera module

The camera can also be switched to projector

mode by pressing the 📷 button on the remote control. The camera's monitor turns off when the remote control is in operation. Tap the monitor to reactivate it and enable the camera's touch operation (166).

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.

4 Adjust focus for the projected picture.

Turn off unnecessary lights.

Notes on Using the Projector

• Be sure to read and follow the projector warnings on page iv.
• Be aware that the camera and battery will become hot in projector mode. Allow the camera to cool before using it again when the projector has been used for an extended period of time.
• When the battery is low, the camera automatically adjusts projection brightness to save power.

Built-in Projector Stand

• The built-in projector stand allows the camera to be tilted slightly upward so that the projected picture is not obstructed by the surface of the table on which the camera is placed.
• Slide the projector stand latch (①) and push (②) to raise it. To lower the projector stand, slide the projector stand latch (③) and push (④) it into the camera.
• When the projector stand is used, the picture is projected onto the screen at an angle, resulting in a type of distortion known as the keystone effect. Using a tripod instead of the built-in projector stand makes it easier to properly align the camera with the screen, reducing the keystone effect.

Tips: Projecting PowerPoint Presentations with the Camera Alone

Save Microsoft PowerPoint ^® files in JPEG format, copy them to the memory card, and use the camera to project them.

1 In PowerPoint, save a PowerPoint file with a different name in JPEG format.

• A new folder with the same name as the renamed file is created, and a JPEG file for each slide of the PowerPoint document is saved in the new folder.
• Be sure to use PowerPoint to save the file with a new name. Refer to the PowerPoint Help documentation for more information on saving files with new names and in different formats.

2 Change the name of the folder and JPEG files.

• Folder name: three-digit single-byte number ^1 + five-character single-byte alphabetic string ^2 e.g. "105USERS"

• JPEG file name: FSCN + four-digit single-byte number ^3 e.g. "FSCN0001.jpg," "FSCN0002.jpg," etc.

• Use a three-digit number that is one higher than the highest number used for existing subfolders in the DCIM folder described in step 3. The "105" in the example above is used when "104" is the highest number in the names of existing subfolders.

• "NIKON" cannot be used as the five-character single-byte alphabetic string.

• The JPEG files can be projected in the same order as the slides in the PowerPoint presentation if their four-digit single-byte file numbers are placed in the same order.

3 Using the card reader, open the memory card ^4 folder on the computer desktop.

• Open the DCIM folder and copy the folder containing the JPEG files created in step 2 into it.
• Additional JPEG files created from PowerPoint files can be added to the folders containing the JPEG files. (However, only the files can be added to these folders. The folders containing the files cannot be placed in these folders.)
• When removing the memory card from the computer, remove the removable disk first and then remove the memory card.
• Use a memory card that has been formatted or used for shooting at least once with the COOLPIX S1100pj.

4 Insert the memory card into the camera, turn on the camera, and press the button.

- The camera's built-in projector operates the same as normal when projecting PowerPoint documents converted to JPEG format.

Notes on Playing Back PowerPoint Documents (JPEG Files)

• PowerPoint animations cannot be projected.
• In thumbnail playback mode, PowerPoint documents are displayed as black thumbnails.

Maximizing Camera Life and Performance

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 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F) before use. When the battery temperature is between 0 and 10 °C (32 to 50 °F) or 45 to 60 °C (113 to 140 °F), the chargeable capacity may decrease. The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
• 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 run it flat 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 optional battery charger when it is not being used. When inserted, minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery even when not in use. This may result in excessive draining of the battery and complete loss of 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. Please 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 may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as "smear," occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor; it is characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also take the form of partial discoloration in the monitor during shooting. It does not appear in images recorded with the camera except in the cases of movies and of images recorded with Multi-shot 16 selected for Continuous. When shooting in these modes, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such as the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.
• 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.

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 (signifies the file type)
Original still pictures (voice memo attachment included) and movies	DSCN	Still pictures	.JPG
		Movies	.MOV
Small copies (voice memo attachment included)	SSCN	Voice memos	.WAV
Cropped copies (voice memo attachment included)	RSCN	File number (assigned automatically in ascending order, starting with "0001")
Copies created using editing function other than small picture and crop (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 sequence number for pictures taken using Panorama assist scene mode (e.g. "101P_001"; 71) 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 (161).
• 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 (154), or a new memory card is inserted.
