ii
Cautions
To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when storing or using the device:
Keep dry
The device will be damaged if
immersed in water or subjected to
high levels of moisture.
Handle the lens and all moving
parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens or
lens cover, or to the connector, card
slot, or battery chamber covers.
These parts are especially susceptible to damage.
Turn the product off before
removing or disconnecting the
power source
Do not unplug the product or
remove the batteries 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. To prevent an accidental interruption of power, avoid
carrying the product from one
place to another while the AC
adapter (available separately) is
connected.
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.
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
charges 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 occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day,
can cause condensation 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.
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 in the CCD
image sensor, producing a white
blur effect in photographs.

Inserting Batteries
Replacing Batteries
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp has gone out before removing or inserting batteries.
Read Battery Warnings
Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Damaged Batteries
The following batteries can not be used:
• Batteries with peeling or damaged insulation. Using batteries with damaged insulation could result in leakage, overheating, or rupture. Note that due to manufacturing
defects even new batteries may have faulty insulation.
• Batteries with insulation that covers only the sides of the
battery and not the area around the negative terminal.
• Batteries with a flat negative terminal. Do not use such batteries even if the insulation adequately covers the area
around the negative terminal.
Alkaline Batteries
Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a reliable brand.
EN-MH1 Batteries
Using an MH-71 battery charger, charge EN-MH1 batteries before first use. Charge each pair of
batteries at the same time — do not charge batteries one at a time or mix batteries with different
charges. Note that EN-MH1 batteries may discharge quickly immediately after purchase or after the
batteries have been left unused for an extended period. This is normal, and the batteries will retain
a charge for longer periods after being used and recharged several times. For more information on
charging batteries, see the documentation provided with the MH-71.
Alternative Power Sources
To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-62B AC adapter (Q 113). Do
not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

Ready the camera
Hold the camera steadily in both hands. Photographs can be framed in the monitor or the
viewfinder.
Don’t Block the Shot
To avoid dark or partially obscured pictures, keep
your fingers and other objects away from the
lens, flash window and microphone.
Frame your subject
Your Nikon digital camera is equipped with two
types of built-in zoom: optical zoom, in which the
camera’s telescoping lens can be used to magnify the
subject up to 3 ×, and digital zoom, in which digital
processing is used to further magnify the image up
to 4 ×, for a total of 12 ×. Use the zoom buttons to
frame your subject in the center of the monitor:
• Press the l (W) button to zoom out from
your subject, increasing the area visible in the
frame.
• Press the O (T) button to zoom in on your subject so that it fills a larger area of the frame.
• When the camera is zoomed in to maximum
magnification, holding the O (T) button down
for about two seconds will trigger digital
zoom. The zoom indicator will turn yellow,
and the green (AF) lamp next to the viewfinder
will blink. Use the O (T) and l (W) buttons
to adjust zoom in the digital zoom range. To
cancel digital zoom, press l (W) until the
zoom indicator turns white.
18
Step 2 - Frame the Picture
Digital Zoom
In digital zoom, data from the camera’s image sensor are processed digitally, enlarging the center
portion of the picture to fill the frame. Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the
amount of detail visible in the picture. Instead, details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply
enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image. Note that the effects of digital zoom are not visible
in the viewfinder - use the monitor when framing pictures with digital zoom. Digital zoom is not
available when the monitor is off or when Multi-shot 16 is selected in the CONTINUOUS menu
(Q 84).
When Lighting Is Poor
When lighting is poor, sensitivity is raised to compensate and the image in the monitor may be
slightly mottled. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Monitor or Viewfinder?
Use the monitor to confirm camera settings at a glance while at the same time viewing an image
that shows how the final picture will appear. This is particularly useful when the image in the viewfinder does not accurately reflect what will appear in the final picture, for example when:
• your subject is less than a meter (3´3”) from the camera
• digital zoom is in effect
Use the viewfinder when you want to save power by turning the monitor off (Q 5), or when
bright ambient lighting makes it difficult to see the display in the monitor.

During Recording

icon is displayed. Do not turn the camera off, eject the memory card, or remove or discon-
nect the power source 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.
Getting Good Results with Autofocus
Autofocus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and the background and the
subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the subject is very dark or moving rapidly, if there are
objects of sharply differing brightness in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind your subject and their
features are in deep shadow), or if there are several objects at different distances from the camera
at the center of the frame (e.g., your subject is inside a cage).
Focusing on Off-Center Subjects: Focus Lock
If your subject is not at the center of the frame when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway,
your picture may be out of focus. To focus on an off-center subject:

p Recompose the picture
Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway, recompose your picture. Do not change the

Pictures or voice recordings are stored in folders created automatically by the camera and named
with a three-digit folder number followed by “NIKON” (e.g., “100NIKON”) or “SOUND” (e.g.,
“101SOUND”). Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if you take a picture when the current folder

Red-Eye Reduction
The COOLPIX 7600 Red-eye reduction flash function uses an advanced red-eye reduction method.
Red-eye reduction lamp fires before the main flash to reduce “red-eye.” In addition, if red-eye is
detected, the camera will automatically correct it when storing the picture (“In-Camera Red-Eye
Fix”). When using this function, there is a slight delay before you can press the shutter-release button again for the next shot. Depending on the situation, red-eye reduction may not always produce
the desired results. In some rare cases, other picture areas may be affected. Choose another flash
mode and try again.
The 2 (Camera Shake) icon and the ISO (Sensitivity) icon
When lighting is poor and the flash is off ($), the 2 (camera shake) icon
or the 3 (sensitivity) icon will appear in the monitor.
When the 2 icon is displayed, use of a tripod or support is recommended
(noise may appear in the picture taken).
The 3 (sensitivity) icon is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity from the normal sensitivity (roughly equivalent to film
with an ISO 50 rating) to minimize blur caused by slow shutter speed. The picture taken when the
3 (sensitivity) icon is displayed may be slightly mottled.

Close-Ups
The flash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances of less than 40 cm (1´4”). When
taking close-ups, play each picture back after shooting to check the results.
Flash Mode Selection
In P (auto) mode, the camera “remembers” the current flash mode setting even when the camera is turned off. The most recent setting will automatically be restored whenever the mode dial is
set to P unless the Reset all option in the SET-UP menu is used to restore the default setting
(Q 109). Depending on the shooting mode selected, the flash mode may change automatically
when you choose a new shooting mode (Q 28-41).
The AF-Assist Illuminator
The COOLPIX 7600 is equipped with an AF-assist illuminator. If lighting is poor, the built-in AF-assist illuminator will light when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, allowing the camera
to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. When the camera is zoomed all the way out, the AFassist illuminator has a range of 0.4 – 2.0 m (1’4” – 6’7”). The range at maximum zoom is 0.4 –
1.4 m (1’4” – 4’7”). In scene mode (Q 28-41), the AF-assist illuminator is only available in i (Portrait) and m (Night Portrait) modes without the framing assist option (Q 29-34), and in B (Party/

AF
To use the Face-priority AF, follow the steps below.
12
Rotate the mode dial to i. X blinks in
the center of the monitor (default setting).
• X indicates the size of a subject's face
that the camera can recognize.
• If a different framing assist menu is select-
ed, press ^ button and select K.

Face-priority AF
• The camera focuses continuously, until the camera recognizes a subject’s face.
• When the camera does not recognize a face, the object at the center of the frame is focused.
• Optical zoom is available in the Face-priority AF, but digital zoom does not work.
• The face selected for focusing by the camera varies depending upon a number of condi-
tions including the direction in which each person is facing.
• The camera is unable to recognize human faces in the following situations:
- The subject is wearing sunglasses or part of face is obstructed in some other way.
- The subject is facing sideways.
- The face portion is too big because the subject is too close to the camera.
- The face portion is too small because the subject is too far away from the camera.
AF
When the subject's face becomes almost
the same size as X, the camera recognizes it and is framed with Y (yellow).
• When the camera recognizes more than
one face, the closest and largest is framed
with Y (yellow) and the others with Z
(yellow). The camera can recognize up to
three faces.
• If the frame (Y or Z) disappears because
the subject moves, the camera goes back
to the screen in step 1.
Press the shutter-release button halfway
to lock the focus on the face framed with
Y (yellow). When focus is locked, the
color changes from yellow to green.
Press the shutter-release button the rest
of the way down to take the picture.

Pictures taken with a digital camera are recorded as

* To reduce the amount of memory each shot occupies, pictures are compressed as they are saved
to the memory or memory card. Compression selectively reduces the quality of the image. The
more a picture is compressed, the more noticeable this loss of quality is likely to be. The figures
show the appropriate compression ratio for each setting.

approximately 200 dpi, dimensions in “Print size” column a resolution of approximately 300 dpi.

All figures are approximate. File size of pictures depends on scene recorded, producing wide variations in number of images that can be stored.
Image Mode and Number of Exposures Remaining
The figure shown in the monitor for the number of exposures remaining is only an approximation.
The file size of compressed images varies with the scene recorded, producing wide variations in the
number of pictures that can be stored.
Image Size
Smaller images create smaller files suited to transmission by e-mail or use in web pages. When
printed at larger sizes, however, small images will be rough and uneven in appearance.
Print Size
The size of images when printed depends on the printer resolution: the higher the resolution, the
smaller the final print size.

WHITE BALANCE 1/2
White balance
The color of the light reflected from an object varies
with the color of the light source. The human brain is
able to adapt to such changes in color, with the result
that we see white objects as white, regardless of
whether they are in the shade, direct sunlight, or under
incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this
adjustment by processing information from the camera’s image sensor (CCD) according to the color of the

Choosing an Exposure Compensation Value
As a rule of thumb, select positive values when large areas of the frame are very brightly lit (for example, when photographing an expanse of sunlit water, sand, or snow) or when the background
is much brighter than the main subject. Choose negative values when large areas of the frame are
very dark (for example, when photographing a forest of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main subject. This is because the camera, in order to avoid extreme
over- or under-exposure, tends to lower exposure when the frame is very bright and raise exposure
when the frame is very dark, which can make naturally bright subjects look dim and naturally dark
subjects appear over-bright, or “washed out.”
