Focusing
The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.
Using Face Detection
In the following shooting modes, the camera uses face
detection to automatically focus on human faces.
•
•
•
1 5 m 0 s
1 9 0 0
If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is
displayed around the face that the camera focuses on, and
single borders are displayed around the other faces.
If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera
focuses on the subject in the center of the frame.
B Notes About Face Detection
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in
which the faces are looking.
• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
E20
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Using Skin Softening
When the shutter is released while using one of the shooting modes listed below, the camera
detects human faces and processes the image to soften facial skin tones (up to three faces).
•
•
•
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 some rare cases, the
subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows
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.)
•

Caring for the Product
The Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described
device.
B Do Not Drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.
B Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care
Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These
parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or
damage to the lens. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by
broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes
or mouth.
B Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
B Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day,
can cause condensation to form 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.
B 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 charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment
such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card,
or affect the product’s internal circuitry.
F2
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
B 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 of the image sensor, producing a white
blur effect in photographs.
B Turn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source
Do not remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted.
Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product
memory or internal circuitry.
B Notes About the Monitor
• Monitors and electronic viewfinders are 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 these
displays 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 under bright lighting.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
Nikon-authorized service representative.
B Notes About Smear
White or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor. This
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor; it is
characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also take the form of
partial discoloration in the monitor during shooting. It does not appear in images saved with the
camera except in the cases of movies and of images saved with Multi-shot 16 selected for
Continuous. When shooting in these modes, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such
as the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.

Batteries
B Notes About Using Batteries
• Used batteries may overheat. Handle with caution.
• Do not use batteries beyond their recommended expiration date.
• Do not turn the camera on and off repeatedly if discharged batteries are inserted in the camera.
B Spare Batteries
We recommend carrying spare batteries depending on where you are shooting. It may be difficult to
purchase batteries in certain areas.
B Charging Batteries
If using optional rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries before taking pictures. Batteries are not
charged at the time of purchase.
Be sure to read and follow the warnings noted in the operating instructions included with the
battery charger.
B Charging Rechargeable Batteries
• Do not mix batteries with different amounts of charge remaining, or batteries of a different make
or model.
• When using EN-MH2 batteries with this camera, charge two batteries at a time using Battery
Charger MH-72. When using Battery Charger MH-73, charge two or four batteries at a time. Use
only Battery Charger MH-72 or MH-73 to charge EN-MH2 batteries.
• When using Battery Charger MH-72 or MH-73, only charge EN-MH2 batteries.
B Notes About EN-MH1 Rechargeable Batteries and Battery Charger MH-70/71
• You can also use EN-MH1 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries with this camera.
• Use only Battery Charger MH-70 or MH-71 to charge EN-MH1 batteries.
• When using Battery Charger MH-70 or MH-71, only charge EN-MH1 batteries.

B Notes About Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries
• If you repeatedly charge rechargeable Ni-MH batteries while they still have some charge
remaining, the message Battery exhausted. may be displayed prematurely when using the
batteries. This is due to the “memory effect,” in which the amount of charge the batteries can hold
decreases temporarily. Use the batteries until there is no charge remaining and they will return to
their normal behavior.
• Rechargeable Ni-MH batteries discharge even when not being used. We recommend charging the
batteries just before using them.
B Cold Environment Usage
Battery performance decreases in cold environments. When using the camera in cold environments,
try not to let the camera and batteries become too cold. The camera may not function if you use
discharged batteries in cold environments. Keep spare batteries warm and alternate between two
sets of batteries. Batteries that cannot be used because they have become too cold can often be
used again when they have been warmed up.
B Battery Terminals
Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Remove dirt from the
terminals using a dry cloth.
B Remaining Battery Charge
If you insert discharged batteries into the camera, the camera may indicate that the batteries have
adequate charge remaining. This is a characteristic of batteries.
B Recycling
Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Cover the battery terminals with plastic tape when recycling.
