Introduction

Notes About Shockproof Performance

This camera has passed Nikon’s in-house test (drop test from a height of 1.5 m (5 ft) on a 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood panel) compliant with MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock*.

This test does not guarantee the waterproof performance of the camera or that the camera will be free from damage or trouble under all conditions.

Changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the drop shock portion are not subject to the Nikon’s in-house test.

* U.S. Department of Defense test method standard.

This drop test drops 5 cameras in 26 directions (8 edges, 12 corners, and 6 faces) from a height of 122 cm (48 i n.) to make sure that one to five cameras pass the test (if any defect is detected during the test, another five cameras are tested to make sure that the test criteria are satisfied for one to five cameras).

bDo not subject the camera to excessive shock, vibration or pressure

by dropping or hitting it, or by placing heavy objects on it.

Deformation may damage the airtight seals and water may seep inside the camera, resulting in camera malfunction.

• Do not use the camera deeper than 10 m (33 ft) underwater.

• Do not subject the camera to water pressure by exposing it to high-pressure

running water.

• Do not sit down with the camera in the pocket of your trousers. Do not forcibly stuff the camera into a bag.

Notes About Waterproof and Dustproof Performances

The camera is equivalent to IEC/JIS waterproof grade 8 (IPX8) and IEC/JIS dustproof grade 6 (IP6X) and enables shooting pictures underwater at a depth of 10 m (33 ft) for up to 60 minutes.* This rating does not guarantee the waterproof performance of the camera or that the camera will be free from damage or trouble under all conditions.

* This rating indicates that the camera has been design ed to withstand the specified

water pressure for the specified per iod of time when the camera is used according to the methods defined by Nikon.

Page 13

Using Skin Softening

When the shutter is released while using the settings listed below, the camera detects human faces and processes the image to soften facial skin tones (up to three faces).

• Smile timer (A25)

Editing functions such as Make skin prettier in Add makeup can be applied to saved images (A50) even after shooting.

B Notes About Skin Softening

• It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.

• Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be

achieved, and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.

Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus

The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator is displayed in green:

• Subject is very dark

• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun

behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark)

• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject

wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall)

• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is

inside a cage)

• Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple

rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.)

• 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 positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A40).

Area Captured in Movies

• The area that is captured in a movie varies depending on Movie frame size

(A37).

• When recording movies while Electronic VR (A83) in the camera settings

is set to Auto, the angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) is narrow compared to that of still images.

Maximum Movie Recording Time

Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.

• The remaining recording time for a single movie is displayed on the shooting screen.

• The actual remaining recording time may vary depending on the movie

Recording and Playing Back Movies

content, subject movement, or type of memory card.

• Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording movies (A120). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class rating are used.

B Notes About Camera Temperature

• The camera may become hot when shooting movies for an extended period of

time or when the camera is used in a hot area.

• If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the

camera will automatically stop recording. The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (u10s) is displayed. After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off. Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.

Notes About Movie Recording

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies

The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do

not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in

loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.

B Notes About Recorded Movies

• The optical zoom ratio cannot be changed once recording starts.

• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.

• The sounds of multi selector operation, autofocus lens drive movement, and

aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.

• The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies.

These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies.

- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodiumvapor lighting.

- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car, may appear skewed.

- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.

- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved.

• Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.

B Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording

Autofocus may not perform as expected (A39). Should this occur, try the following: Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the

intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, and then modify the composition.
