Autofocus: If faces are detected, the camera will focus on the face closest to the camera. If no face is detected or digital zoom is in effect, the camera will focus on the subject in the center of the display.

The AF-assist illuminator (A 5) may light to assist the focus operation if the subject is poorly lit.

The illuminator has a range of about

1.7 m (5 ft 6 in.) at the maximum wide-angle position and about 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in.) at the maximum telephoto position.

Although the focus area may still be displayed or the infocus indicator light green, the camera may fail to fo cus if the subject is very dark, fast-moving, mixes areas of sharply contrasting brightness (e.g., is half in the shade) or near and distant objects (e.g., is behind the bars of a cage), is dominated by regular geometric patterns (e.g., venetian blinds or a row of windows in a skyscraper), or contrasts poorly with the background (e.g., is the same color as the background). Should this occur, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway a second time or recomposing the photograph.

❚❚ Recording Movies

The display shows the approximate amount of recording

time available; but note that the actual length that can be

recorded varies with the scene recorded and subject movement. Recording may end before the time indicated to prevent overheating. The maximum length for individual clips is 29 minutes or 4 GB.

The camera may record sounds made by camera c ontrols or by the lens during focusing or when aperture is adjusted to reflect changes in the brightness of the subject. Digital zoom can be used, but footage shot with digital zoom will be noticeably “grainy” (A 13); optical zoom is not available.

Distortion may be visible in the monitor and the final movie if the camera is panned horizontally or an object moves at high speed through frame. Bright light sources may leave afterimages when the camera is panned while flicker and banding may be visible under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps. Depending on the zoom ratio and distance to the subject, “moiré” may also be visible where the scene features regular repeating patterns; this is a naturally-occurring interference pattern arising from the interaction of the image sensor grid with a regular repeating grid pattern in the subject and does not indicate a malfunction.

The temperature of the camera may rise if it is used for extended periods or in hot environments. If there is risk of overheating during movie recording, a count-down timer will be displayed; recording will end automatically and the camera will turn off when the timer expires. Wait for the camera to cool.

Autofocus: When Single AF (the default setting; A 28) is selected for Autofocus mode in the movie menu, the camera will focus when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway and focus and exposure will lock during movie recording. If the camera fails to focus (A 13) , try the following method:

1 Select Single AF for Autofocus mode in the movie

menu.

2 Find an object that is at the same distance from the camera

as your subject and frame it in the center of the display.

3 Press the shutter-release button halfway to focus. 4 Keeping the button pressed halfway, recompose the shot

with your original subject in the desired position.

5 Press the button the rest of the way down to start recording.

Caring for the Camera: Cautions

To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the precautions listed in this section and in “For Your Safety” (A iii–iv) when storing or using the device.

❚❚ Camera Care

Do not drop

shocks or vibration. Do not touch or apply pressure to the lens.

Keep dry

immersed in water or exposed to high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature: Sudden changes in temperature, such as those that 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 plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

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 displays, corrupt data, or affect the product's internal circuitry.

: The product may malfunction if subjected to strong

: This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if

Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun: Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun or other strong light source for an extended period. Intense light may cause the image sensor to deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs.

Turn the product off before disconnecting the charging AC adapter: Do not unplug the product while it 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 monitor: The monitor is constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence, while the monitor may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.

Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.

Contents Index

Caring for the Camera: Cautions

76

Shoot View Connect The Setup Menu Technical Notes

Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Dust or lint on the displays can be removed with a blower. Stains can be removed by wiping lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury from broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes and mouth.

❚❚ The Camera Battery and Charging AC Adapter

Do not use the camera at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F); failure to observe this precaution could damage the camera battery or impair its performance. Battery capacity may be reduced at camera temperatures from 45 °C (113 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F).

Turning the camera on and off repeatedly when the battery is fully discharged will shorten battery life. If the camera battery is fully discharged, recharge the camera before use.

Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure the camera is fully charged before taking photographs outside in cold weather and keep the camera warm. Some of the capacity lost to cold may be regained when the camera warms again.

If the camera will not be used for some time, run the battery flat and store the camera in a location with an ambient temperature of 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F; avoid hot or extremely cold locations). Repeat this process at least once every six months.

A marked drop in the time the camera retains its charge when used at room temperature indicates that the battery requires replacement. The battery is not user-serviceable but can be replaced, for a fee, by a Nikon-authorized service representative.

Contents Index

Caring for the Camera: Cautions

77

Shoot View Connect The Setup Menu Technical Notes

Charging: The camera is equipped with a built-in rechargeable

Li-ion battery which is not charged at shipment; before use, charge the camera using the supplied charging AC adapter (A 2). Charge at ambient temperatures between 5 °C (41 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F); at temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F), the camera will not charge. Attempting to charge the camera while its internal temperature is elevated will impair performance, and the camera may not charge or charge only partially. Wait for the camera to cool before charging.

Continuing to charge the camera after it is fully charged can impair battery performance.

The temperature of the camera may rise during charging, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

The charging AC adapter: Use the EH-70P with compatible devices only. Do not attempt to charge the camera with other AC or USBAC adapters. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the camera or cause it to overheat.

The EH-70P is for use in the country of purchase. Before visiting other countries, contact your travel agent for information on plug adapters.

❚❚ Memory

Memory cards can not be used.

Formatting camera memory permanently deletes all data it

contains. Be sure to copy any pictures or other data you wish to keep to a computer prior to formatting.

Do not turn the camera off or disconnect the charging AC adapter while memory is being formatted, images are being recorded or deleted, or data are being copied to a computer. Failure to observe this precaution could result in loss of data or damage to the camera.

❚❚ Disposal

Contact a Nikon-authorized service representative for information on disposing of Nikon cameras with built-in batteries. Before disposing of the camera, be sure to delete all image data from the camera as described on page vii.

Cleaning and Storage

❚❚ Cleaning

Lens: Avoid touching the glass with your fin gers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb on one end, which is pumped to produce a stream of air from the other). To remove fingerprints and other stains, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, working in a spiral from the center outward and applying lens cleaner (available from third-party suppliers) to the cloth if required.

Monitor: Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains, use a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

Body: Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, use a cloth lightly dampened in fresh water to wipe off any sand or salt and then dry the camera thoroughly.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Important: Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera may cause damage not covered under warranty.

Contents Index

❚❚ Storage

Do not store the camera next to equipment t hat produces strong electromagnetic fields (such as televisions or radios) or in locations that are poorly ventilated, subject to humidities over 60%, or exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below –10°C (14°F).

To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month, turn it on, and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again.
