FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement

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. The 1 J5, which is equipped with a DW092 (FCC ID:EW4DW092 / IC ID:4634A-3149EC) 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.

Notices for Customers in Europe

Hereby, Nikon Corporation, declares that the 1 J5 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. The declaration of conformity may be consulted at http://imaging.nikon.com/sup port/pdf/DoC_1J5.pdf

Security

Although one of the benefits of this product is that it allows others to freely connect for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the following may occur if security is not enabled:

• Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmissions to steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal information.

• Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the network and alter data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due the design of wireless networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is enabled.

Panoram as

High-distortion wide-angle lenses may fail to produce the desired results. An error message will be displayed if the camera is panned too quickly or unsteadily. Note that because panoramas are composed of multiple images, the joins between images may be visible and the desired results may not be achieved with moving subjects or with neon lights or other subjects that exhibit rapid changes in color or brightness, subjects that are too close to the camera, poorly-lit subjects, and subjects such as the sky or sea that are a solid color or contain simple repeating patterns.

The completed panorama will be slightly smaller than the area visible in the display during shooting. No panorama will be recorded if shooting ends before the halfway point; if shooting ends after the halfway point but before the panorama is complete, the unrecorded portion will be shown in gray.

A Aperture-Priority Auto

In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture while the camera automatically selects the shutter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Large apertures (low f-numbers) reduce depth of field, blurring objects behind and in front of the main subject. Small apertures (high f-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing out details in the background and foreground. Short field depths are generally used in portraits to blur background details, long field depths in landscape photographs to bring the foreground and background into focus.

Large aperture (f/5.6) Small aperture (f/16)

❚❚ Choosing an Aperture

Rotate the multi selector counterclockwise for larger apertures (lower f-numbers), clockwise for smaller apertures (higher f-numbers). The minimum and maximum values depend on the lens currently in use.

Rotate the command dial to adjust shutter speed and the multi selector to adjust aperture: rotate the control to the right for faster shutter speeds or smaller apertures (higher f-numbers), to the left for slower shutter speeds and larger apertures (lower f-numbers). Shutter speeds can be set to values as fast as

16,000 s or as slow as 30 s, or to “Bulb” to

hold the shutter open indefinitely for a long time-exposure. Aperture can be set to values between the minimum and maximum for the lens.

Continuous Shooting

The selected shutter speed may change when a frame rate of 10 fps or faster is selected in continuous shooting mode (0 73).
