Observe proper precautions 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:
•Make sure the product is off before replacing the battery. If you are using the AC adapter, Make sure it is unplugged.
•Use only the supplied rechargeable Nikon EN-EL1 lithium-ion battery or a 6V 2CR5 (DL245) lithium battery (available separately).
•When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside down or backwards.
•Do not short-circuit or disassemble the battery.
•Do not expose the battery to flame or to excessive heat.
•Do not immerse in or expose to water.
•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.
•When the battery is not in use, attach the terminal cover and store in a cool place.
•Discontinue use immediately should you notice any changes in the battery, such as discoloration or deformation.
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.
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.
Do not walk while looking through the Viewfinder
Walking while looking through the camera’s Viewfinder or color LCD monitor could result in a fall or other injury.
Removing memory cards
Memory cards may become hot during use. Observe due caution when removing memory cards from the camera.
CD-ROMs
The CD-ROMs on which the software and manuals are distributed 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 operating the flash
Using the flash close to your subject’s eyes could cause temporary visual impairment.
When using the Viewfinder
When operating the diopter adjustment dial with your eye to the Viewfinder, care should be taken not to put your finger in your eye accidentally.
Cautions
Observe the following precautions to ensure that you continue to get the most from your Nikon product.
Keep dry
This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in water or exposed to high levels of humidity.
Keep free of salt, sand, and dust
After using your camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt with a lightly dampened cloth and then dry your camera thoroughly.
Do not touch the lens with your fingers
The proper procedure for cleaning the lens is described on page 165 of this document.
Handle the lens and all moving parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens or to the battery, card, or connector covers. These parts are especially susceptible to damage.
Do not unplug the product or remove the battery while the product is on
Do not unplug the product or remove the battery while the camera is on, or while images are being recorded or deleted from memory. Forcibly cutting power to the product in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the internal circuitry or memory.

FOR HOME OR OFFICE USE
Tested To Comply With FCC Standards
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration. Attach the strap (p. 40) and lens-cap cord and keep the strap around your wrist when carrying the camera.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that produces strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. The magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters or household television sets could interfere with the color monitor, damage data stored on the flash­memory 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 its carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
Batteries
When you turn the device on, check the battery-level displayed in the control panel to determine whether the battery needs to be replaced. The battery needs to be replaced when the battery-level indicator is flashing. The battery-level indicator may briefly show N (battery fully charged) after an exhausted battery is reinserted in the camera. On cold days, the capacity of the battery tends to decrease. When taking pictures outside in cold weather, keep a warm spare battery on hand. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them with a clean, dry cloth before use.
Memory cards
Observe the following precautions when handling CompactFlash™ memory cards:
•Turn the power off before inserting or removing memory cards. Inserting or removing cards with the power on could render them unusable.
•Insert memory cards as shown on page 36. Inserting cards upside down or backwards could damage the camera or the card.

Holding the Camera
Holding the Camera/Pressing the Shutter Release Button
To reduce blurring caused by camera shake, hold the camera steadily in both hands and press the Shutter release button slowly and gently. Photographs can be framed in the Monitor or the Viewfinder.
Check point
The lens section of this camera rotates so the subject can be seen easily on the Monitor and/or Viewfinder. Rotate the camera so that it can be held securely.
Frame photographs in the Monitor
•When you are using Macro close-up (p. 61).
•When you are using Digital zoom (p. 63).
•When you are using a lens converter (p. 106, 162)
•When Image size is set to 3:2 (p. 59).
•When you want direct confirmation of camera settings or the view through the lens.
Using the Swivel
M O
D E
Frame photographs in the Viewfinder
•When you want to save power by turning the Monitor off (p. 46).
•When bright ambient lighting conditions make it difficult to see the display in the Monitor.
Diopter adjustment dial
If the images in the Viewfinder appear blurred even when the subject is in focus, set the diopter adjustment for your particular eyesight by rotating the diopter adjustment dial so the autofocus target area frames in the Viewfinder can be seen clearly.
Notes: Holding the camera
•Make sure not to let your finger, hair, the strap, power cord of the AC Adapter
or video cable get in front of the lens or Speedlight.
•Make sure not to get your finger or clothing caught in the rotating part of the
camera or cover while shooting.
•Do not look directly at the sun through the Viewfinder.
•The rotating lens section should be rotated slowly and within its range.
(Approx. 270 degrees)
Pressing the Shutter release button
•The unique swivel design of the camera allows you to position the lens toward the subject while having the Monitor in a convenient position for checking. With the Monitor facing toward you, the lens section can be tilted 210° forwards and 90° backward. There is a Swivel lock lever (p. 106) on the base of the camera which, when set, prevents the lens from tilting down if a heavy converter lens accessory is fitted.
•Note that bright objects such as lights may cause a vertical white line to appear in the Monitor. This is not a malfunction and does not normally appear on the image.
Self-portrait pictures
For convenient framing of self portraits, when the lens is rotated to face backwards, the display will invert so that it appears the correct way up.

Before releasing
shutter
•Lightly pressing the Shutter release button and holding it halfway down activates the camera’s exposure meter and autofocus.
•The focus is locked as long as the Shutter release button is kept lightly pressed (p. 48, 80). Pressing it fully all the way down releases the shutter.

•Aim the lens at the subject and compose the picture in the Monitor or Viewfinder.
Parallax compensation marks for close-ups (Macro)
Note: Composing using image in Viewfinder.
When composing a picture using the image in the Viewfinder, the actual image recorded is shifted slightly (due to a phenomenon known as parallax) compared to the image in the Viewfinder. Especially when shooting close-ups, the effect of parallax becomes more pronounced and the edges of the image seen in the Viewfinder image may not be included. Use of the Monitor is therefore recommended for close-up (Macro) shooting at distances of less than 90 cm/35 in. The parallax compensation marks in the Viewfinder indicate the compensation required when the subject to camera distance is 60 cm/24 in.
Zoom button
•Use the Zoom button to frame your subject in the Monitor or Viewfinder.
Wideangle Telephoto
•To zoom out and see more in the Monitor or Viewfinder, press the Zoom button. This sends the lens to the wideangle position. To zoom in and make the subject appear closer, press the Zoom button.
•When the lens has zoomed to the full telephoto position with the Monitor turned on, the Digital zoom then allows a further magnification of up to 4x (p. 63).
Note: Digital zoom
When using the Digital zoom, the image in the Viewfinder is different from the actual image recorded. Make sure to check the image in the Monitor.
