Digital zoom

Ready the camera

Hold the camera steadily in both hands. Photographs can be framed in the monitor A or the electronic viewﬁ nder B.

Don’t Block the Shot

To avoid mufﬂ ed sound or dark or partially obscured pictures, keep your ﬁ ngers and other objects away from the microphone, lens, and ﬂ ash window.

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 8.3 ×, and digital zoom, in which digital processing is used to further magnify the image up to 4 ×, for a total of about 33 ×. Use the zoom buttons to frame your subject in the monitor or electronic viewﬁ nder:

• Press the button to zoom out from your subject, increasing the area visible in the frame.

Press the button to zoom in on your subject so that it ﬁ lls a larger area of the frame. Press the buttons fully for high-speed zoom, halfway for normal zoom.

• When the camera is zoomed in to maximum magniﬁ cation, holding the button down for about one second will trigger digital zoom. The zoom indicator will turn yellow. Use the and

range. To cancel digital zoom, press until the zoom indicator turns white.

buttons to adjust zoom in the digital zoom

Digital Zoom

In digital zoom, data from the camera’s image sensor are processed digitally, enlarging the center portion of the picture to ﬁ ll 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.

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.

Viewﬁ nder Focus

If the image in the electronic viewﬁ nder seems blurred, rotate the diopter adjustment control until the image is in sharp focus. When operating the diopter control with your eye to the viewﬁ nder, care should be taken to avoid accidentally putting your ﬁ nger in your eye.

While pictures are being recorded, the internal memory / memory card indicator ( or ) will blink. The camera can continue to take pictures until the (wait) icon is displayed. Do not turn the camera off, eject the memory card, or remove or dis-

connect the power source while the internal memory / memory card indicator is blinking or the icon is displayed. Cutting power or removing the memory card in

these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.

The 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. The AF-assist illuminator has a range of about 0.4 m–2.0 m / 1´4˝– 6´7˝ (widest angle) to 1.0 m–1.5 m /3´3˝–4´11˝ (maximum zoom). The AF-assist illuminator will not light if:

• (portrait assist), (landscape assist), (sports assist), or (night portrait assist) mode is selected or if (Dusk / Dawn), (Night landscape), (Close up), (Museum), or (Fireworks show) is selected in scene mode ( 24–37)

• Manual is selected for AF-area mode ( 74) and the center focus area is not selected

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).

Deleting Pictures in Shooting Mode

Image File and Folder Names

On the memory card, pictures are identiﬁ ed by ﬁ le names with three parts: a four letter identiﬁ er, a four-digit ﬁ le number assigned automatically by the camera in ascending order, and a three-letter extension (e.g., “DSCN0001.JPG”).

Type

Original

When a picture is viewed in the monitor, the ﬁ le number and extension appear in the top right corner of the display. The identiﬁ er is not displayed, but is visible when the picture is transferred to a computer.

Pictures are stored in folders created automatically by the camera and named with a three-digit folder number followed by an identiﬁ er: “INDEX” for index prints created using the instant index option ( pictures taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”; 36), and “NIKON” for all other photographs (e.g., “100NIKON”). Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if you take a picture when the current folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current folder number. A new folder is created for each sequence of pictures taken using panorama assist. If you take a picture when the current folder contains a picture numbered 9999, a new folder will be created and ﬁ le numbering will begin again from 0001. If the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 200 pictures or a picture numbered 9999, no further pictures can be taken until the internal memory or memory card is formatted ( 98) or a new memory card inserted.

When lighting is poor and the ﬂ ash is off ( ), shutter speeds will slow and pictures may be blurred. If the shutter speed required for exposure is very slow, a (camera shake) warning be displayed. Use of a tripod or support is recommended.

Flash Range

Flash range varies with zoom position. When the camera is zoomed all the way out, the ﬂ ash has a range of 0.4 – 4.3 m (1´4˝ – 14´). The range at maximum zoom is 0.6 –2.6 m (2´ – 8´6˝). As a result, the ﬂ ash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances of less than 40 cm/15.7˝ (widest angle) or 60 cm/23.6˝ (maximum zoom). When taking close-ups, play each picture back after shooting to check the results.

To cancel exposure compensation, choose a value of 0.

Choosing a Value for Exposure Compensation

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 under- or over-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.”

Highlight desired value.

To reduce the amount of memory each shot occupies, pictures are compressed as they are saved. 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 ﬁ gures in parentheses show the approximate compression ratio for each setting.

† All ﬁ gures are approximate. Print sizes assume a printer resolution of approximately

300 dpi.

Preset White Balance

Preset white balance is used when shooting under mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light). When (White bal. preset) is selected from the white-balance menu, the camera will zoom in and the menu shown above at right will be displayed in the monitor.

Option

Caring for Your Camera

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, monitor, or viewﬁ nder or to the connector, card slot, battery chamber, or lens covers. These parts are especially susceptible to damage. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens.

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.

Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source

Do not unplug the product or remove

Technical Notes

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.

102

Do not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.

Keep away from strong magnetic ﬁ elds

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic ﬁ elds. Strong static charges or the magnetic ﬁ elds 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.

The AF-Assist Illuminator LED

The light-emitting diode (LED) used in the AF-assist illuminator conforms to the following IEC standard:

CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT

IEC60825-1 Edition 1.2

-2001

Cleaning

Lens/ Viewﬁ nder

One key to preserving the condition of these glass parts is to not touch them with your ﬁ ngers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other). To remove ﬁ ngerprints or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens or viewﬁ nder with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges.

Monitor

Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove ﬁ ngerprints and other stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

Avoid contact with liquid crystal

Should the monitor or electronic viewﬁ nder break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

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, wipe off any sand or salt with a cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly.

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

Notes on the Monitor and Electronic Viewﬁ nder

• The monitor and electronic viewﬁ nder may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded using the product will not be affected.

• When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as “ smear,” does not appear in the ﬁ nal photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.

• Images in the monitor may be difﬁ cult to see in a bright light.

• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or ﬂ icker, contact your Nikon service representative.

Error Messages

Storage

Turn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp is off before putting the camera away. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. If you will not be using the product for long periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not store the camera case (available separately) in a plastic bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradually loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals. Do not store the camera with naptha or camphor moth balls or in locations that:

• are poorly ventilated or damp

• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic ﬁ elds, such as televisions or radios

• are exposed to temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F; for example near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a sunny day)

• are subject to humidities of over 60%

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

Store the battery in a cool, dry place.

Technical Notes

Batteries

• When turning the camera on, check that the battery is charged. The monitor will display a warning when batteries are low.

• Carry a fresh 2CR5 or a fully-charged spare EN-EL1 battery as a replacement when taking pictures on important occasions. You may ﬁ nd it difﬁ cult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice. Do not use 2CR5 batteries after their expiry date.

• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully charged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

• If the battery terminals are dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.

• Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Troubleshooting

If your camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative. Refer to the page numbers listed in the right-most column for information on solving the problems listed here.

Electronically-Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the batteries, and turn the camera on again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (available separately), disconnect and reconnect the adapter, and turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result in the loss of any data not recorded to the memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory card will not be affected.
