Ensuring Longer Battery Life

Stand by Mode

• This power saving mode greatly reduces battery power consumption and allows you to quickly turn back on the camera. Press the power switch to enter stand by mode. Press the power switch again to immediately exit stand by mode and resume shooting or playback.

Once the camera enters standby, the power will turn off after the shut-down timer expires.

Unsaved data will be lost when the power turns off.

Save before proceeding.

Do not show this message again.

• After a certain amount of time elapses in stand by mode (the default setting is 1 hour), the camera turns off (A75; Shut-down timer). All unsaved data is

lost when the camera turns off after the set amount of time. Save the data you want to keep before the camera enters stand by mode.

Power Off

Press and hold the power switch to turn off the camera (force-quit). Almost no battery power is consumed. When you turn on the camera, you are limited to taking only a few pictures and cannot change the settings until Android™ OS starts up completely. Save the data you want to keep before you turn off the camera, just as you would in stand by mode.

Reducing Battery Power Consumption While Using the Camera

Turn off the functions that are not in use to reduce battery power consumption. We recommend placing the Power control widget on the Android™ platform home screen and turning off these functions as often as possible. See “Using Widgets” (A88) for more information.

See “Power Supply Status and Power Saving Function” (A19) for more information about the power saving function.

Handle the camera strap with care

Never place the strap around the neck of an infant or child.

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 remain in contact with the camera, battery charger, or AC adapter for extended periods while the devices are on or in use.

Parts of the devices become hot. Leaving the devices in direct contact with the skin for extended periods may result in low-temperature burns.

For Your Safety

Observe caution when handling the battery

The battery may leak, overheat or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following precautions when handling the battery for use in this product:

• Before replacing the battery, turn the product off. If you are using the Charging AC Adapter/AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.

• Use only a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL12 (included). Charge the battery by using a camera that supports battery charging. To perform this operation, use Charging AC Adapter EH-69P (included). The Battery Charger MH-65 (available separately) is also available to charge the battery without using a camera.

• When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside down or backwards.

• Do not short or disassemble the battery or attempt to remove or break the battery insulation or casing.

• Do not expose the battery to flame or excessive heat.

• Do not immerse in or expose to water.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC)

Declaration of Conformity

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licenceexempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.

FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

Precautions when Using Radio Transmissions

• Always keep in mind that radio transmission or reception of data is subject to interception by third parties. Note that Nikon is not responsible for data or information leaks that may occur during data transfer.

• The Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) and Bluetooth functions share the same frequency band; therefore, using both functions simultaneously may cause radio wave interference, resulting in decreased communication speed or network disconnection. If you experience a problem with the connection, stop using either the Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) or Bluetooth function.

• The operating frequency band of this equipment is used by industrial, scientific, consumer and medical equipment including microwave ovens, premises radio stations for identifying mobile units used in the manufacturing lines of plants (radio stations requiring no license), and amateur radio stations (hereinafter referred to as “another station”). 1. Before using this equipment, confirm that another station is not being operated nearby. 2. In the event of this equipment causing harmful radio wave interference with another station, promptly change the operating frequency or stop radio wave emission by turning off the power, etc. 3. If you have further questions, contact a Nikon service center or Nikon authorized service representative.

Precautions when Using the Wireless LAN Features

• When using the LAN function of this product, the product will search for wireless networks automatically. At this time, the product may display wireless networks (SSIDs) for which you are not an authorized user. Use of such a wireless network may be regarded as unauthorized access. Never connect to an SSID that you are not authorized to use.

Introduction

Precautions when Using the Bluetooth Feature

• The Bluetooth function of this product shares the 2.4 GHz frequency band with various other devices; therefore, interference from other devices may decrease this product’s Bluetooth communication speed or distance, or cause the Bluetooth connection to fail.

• Bluetooth communication speed and distance may vary depending on the type

Introduction

of Bluetooth device and on the physical distance or presence of obstacles between the devices.
