1/125 F2.7

B Notes on the Viewfinder

As the area visible in the vie wfinder may differ from that of the final picture, use the monitor to frame pictures in the following situations:

• When shooting at ranges of about 1 m (3 ft. 3 in.) or less

• When a converter lens is used (available separately from Nikon; A149, 179)

• When digital zoom is applied (A27)

•

When shooting at an

Image size (A

or H3168×3168

Step 2 Frame a Picture

Using the Zoom

Zoom out Zoom in

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

A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor when the zoom control is rotated.

Optical zoom Digital zoom

Digital Zoom

When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom magnification, rotating and holding the zoom control at g triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4×. Focus will be on the center of the screen (without active focus area display) when digital zoom is in effect.

Optical zoom (up to 4×). Digital zoom is in effect.

C Digital Zoom and Interpolation

Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magnify images (A126), resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality. Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V. When zoom is increased beyond the V position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation is being applied. The position of V moves to the right as image size decreases, allowing for confirmation of the zoom positions at which shooting without inter polation is possible at the current image mode setting.

Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

When the image size is small

• Digital zoom (A168) in the Setup menu (A159) can be limited to the range at which

interpolation is not in effect, or it can be turned off.

B During Recording

While images are being recorded, the AF lamp and/or the indicator s howing the number of exposures remaining will blink. Do not turn the camera off, open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, or remove or disconnect the power source while these are blinking. Cutting power or removing the memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.

B Autofocus

Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. And in some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the active focus area or the AF lamp glow green.

• Subject is very dark

• Objects of sharp ly differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun is behind the s ubject

and is in deep shadow)

• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. when the subject is standing in front of a white wall, wearing a white shirt)

• 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.

D Focus Lock

To focus on an off-center subject when Center is selected for AF area mode, use focus lock as described below.

• Be sure that the distance between the camera and the subject does not change while focus is locked.

• When the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, exposure is locked.

Using the Flash

In dark locations or when the subject is backlit, you can shoot pictures with flash by raising the built-in flash. The flash has a range of about 0.3 to 6.0 m (1 to 19 ft.) when the camera is zoomed out all the way. With maximum optical zoom applied, the range is about 0.3 to 3.0 m (1 to 9 ft. ) (when ISO sensitivity is set to Auto). When the built-in flash is raised, you can set the flash mode according to your shooting environment.

Basic Photography and Playback: Auto Mode

Available Flash Modes

Auto

Flash fires automatically when lighting is poor.

Auto with red-eye reduction

Reduces “red-eye” in portraits (A34).

Off

Flash will not fire.

Fill flash

Flash fires when a picture is shot. Use to “fill-in” (illuminate) shadows and backlit subjects.

Slow sync

Fill flash is combined with slow shutter speed. Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim light.

Rear-curtain sync

Fill flash fires just before shutter closes, creating effect of a stream of light behind moving subjects.

Setting the Flash Mode

• Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of

camera shake. Set Vibration reduction (A167) to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

• The E icon may be displayed on the monitor at times. Pictures shot when E is displayed may be slightly mottled as ISO sensitivity has been increased.

B Note on Using the Flash

When using the flash, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as br ight spots in pictures. To reduce these reflections, se t the flash to W (Off) , or lower the built-in flash.

C The Flash Lamp

The flash lamp shows the flash status when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway down.

• On: Flash will fire when picture is shot.

• Blinks: Flash charging. Not possible to shoot.

• Off: Flash will not fire when picture is shot.

C The Flash Mode Setting

• The default setting for flash mode will differ according to the shooting mode.

- A (auto) mode: U (auto)

- A, B, C, D mode: U (auto)

- Scene mode: Availability varies between different scene modes (A42 to 48).

- Time-lapse movie: U (auto)

• Shoot with the flash set to V (red-eye redu ction) while in A (auto) mode and the setting will be saved even after the camera is turned off.

• When shooting mode is set to A, B, C or D, the setting is saved even after the camera is turned off.

C Red-eye Reduction

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”). The flash fires repeatedly at low intensity 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. The flash will fire at low intensity before the main flash for processing red eye reduction when NRW (RAW) images are recorded (including the JPEG image that is recorded together). Take note of the points below when shooting.

• Note that because there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and the picture being shot, this mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required.

• The time before the next picture can be shot also 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.

D Aperture and Zoom

Aperture is expressed as an f-number, which is the ratio of the focal length of the lens to the effective diameter of the opening (aperture) through which light enters the camera. Large apertures (expressed by small f-numbers) let more light into the camera, small apertures (large f-numbers) less. When the camera is zoomed out, the focal length of the lens diminishes and th e f-number decreases. When the camera is zoomed in, the focal length and f-number increase. This camera has a lens with a focal length of 6-24mm and an aperture of f/2.7 to f/5.9. The aperture value will increase when the camera is zoomed in, and decrease when the camera is zoomed out.

Using the GPS

Recording Positional Information to Pictures

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system using the electro-magnetic waves of a network of GPS satellites placed into orbit. It allows users to determine their locations anywhere on Earth. The camera’s internal GPS receives signals from the GPS satellites and calculate its current time and position. This is known as positioning. The positional information (latitude and longitude) can be recorded onto the pictures to be shot.

Rotate the mode dial to G.

• Operate in an open space when starting to receive signals from GPS satellites.

• The GPS signal status display screen is displayed.

Press the d button.

B Notes on GPS

• After about two hours of positioning or if the batter y has been change d, it wil l tak e se vera l mi nute s to obtain the positional information.

• Positions of the GPS satellites change constantly. You may not be able to determine the position or it may take some time depending on your location and the time. Use GPS in an open space whenever possible. Receiving of signals will be smoother if the GPS antenna (A7) is facing the sky.

• The following locations will block or reflect signals, resulting in failed or inaccurate positioning.

- Inside buildings or at the basement of buildings

- Between high-rise buildings

- Under overpasses

- Inside tunnels

- Near high-voltage electrical power lines

- Between clusters of trees

• Using a mobile phone of 1.5 GHz band near this camera may disrupt positioning.

• When carrying this camera around while positioning, do not place it in a metal bag. Positioning

cannot be done if the camera is covered in metal materials.

• GPS satellites may have a margin error of several hundred meters depending on the positioning environment.

• Be aware of your surroundings when positioning.

• If Record GPS data is set to On, positioning will be done every 90 minutes for six times when the

Using the GPS

camera is turned off. During positioning, the power-on lamp will blink. The monitor will not light up. Positioning will cancel if three minutes pass and positioning cannot be done.

• The date of the camera's internal clock at the tim e of shooting is recorded in the date of recording and time of recording indicators displayed on the camera during playback. The time obtained by the positional information recorded on images will not be displayed on the camera.

• Positional information will be recorded on the first frame of pictures shot using Continuous (A140) or Auto bracketing (A143). In continuous shooting, the positional information will not be recorded for pictures taken after the valid storage period has ended.

• Positional information cannot be recorded onto movies.

• The Geodetic system for this camera's GPS function uses the WGS 84 (World Geodetic System

1984).

Set Record GPS data to On in the GPS menu to change the valid storage period for recording positional information onto a picture or manually update the positional information. You can also use the signal transmission from the GPS satellites to set the date/time of the built-in clock in the camera.

Valid Storage Period

If a picture is shot while positioning cannot be done, the last positional information will be recorded onto the picture. As a result, a margin of error will occur between the shooting location and the recorded positional information. Set Valid storage period to reduce the margin of error with the shooting location. Choose the valid storage period from 15 seconds or less, 30 seconds or less, 1

minute or less (default setting), 5 minutes or less, 15 minutes or less, 30 minutes or less, 60 minutes or less, or 2 hours or less.
