Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magnify
images, resulting in slight deterioration of picture quality.
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V. When zoom is increased beyond the V
position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to indicate that interpolation
is being applied. The position of V moves to the right as image size decreases, allowing for
confirmation of the zoom positions at which shooting without interpolation is possible at the
current image mode setting.

B Autofocus
Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject
may not be in focus despite the fact that the active focus area and the focus indicator glow green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun is behind the subject
and is in deep shadow)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. when the subject is standing in front of a
white wall, wearing a white shirt)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)
• Subject is moving rapidly
In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several

Using the Flash
B Shooting When Lighting is Poor and the Flash is Disabled (W)
• Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of
camera shake.
• The E indicator is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken
when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.
B Note on Using the Flash
Reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these
reflections, set the flash to W (off).
C The Flash Lamp
The flash lamp indicates the flash status when the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway down.
• On: Flash will fire when picture is taken.
• Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try

The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even after the
camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
C Red-eye Reduction
This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (“In-Camera Red-Eye Fix”).
Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the red-eye effect.
If the camera detects “red-eye” when a picture is taken, Nikon’s own In-Camera Red-Eye Fix
processes the image before it is recorded.
Note the following when taking pictures:
• Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release button is
pressed and when the picture is shot. This mode is not recommended when a quick shutter
response is required.
• The time required to save the picture increases slightly.
• Advanced red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in some situations.
• In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye
reduction processing; in these cases, choose another mode and try again.

C Exposure Compensation Value
The exposure compensation value applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the camera’s memory even
after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.
D Using Exposure Compensation
• The camera tends to reduce exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects and to
increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark. Positive compensation may therefore be
required to capture the brilliancy of very bright objects that fill the frame (for example, sunlit
expanses of water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main
subject.
• Negative compensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects
(for example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main
subject.

B White Balance
Set to A(auto) Md(Shooting menu) MB White balance
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source.
The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with
the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct
sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this
adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is
known as “white balance”. For natural coloration, choose a white balance setting
that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting, Auto,
can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting
suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.

E ISO Sensitivity
Set to A(auto) Md(Shooting menu) ME ISO sensitivity
Sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the
sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Although a high ISO rating
is suited for taking pictures of subjects in action or in poor lighting, high sensitivity
is often associated with “noise” - randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels
concentrated in dark parts of the image.
Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the flash is
off, the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600.
Fixed range auto
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from
ISO 80-400 (default setting), or ISO 80-800. The camera will not raise sensitivity
beyond the maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO
sensitivity for effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.
80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200

Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when using or storing the device.
B Keep dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
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 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 CCD image sensor, producing a
white blur effect in photographs.
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 charges or the magnetic fields 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.
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 Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source
Do not remove the battery 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.

Caring for the Camera
C The Battery
• Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and charge the battery if necessary. Do not
continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in reduced battery
performance. If possible, carry a fully-charged spare battery when taking pictures on important
occasions.
• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F). Failure
to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance.
• Charge indoors at an ambient temperature between 5 and 35 °C (41 to 95 °F). When the battery
temperature is between 0 and 10 °C (32 to 50 °F) or 45 to 60 °C (113 to 140 °F), the chargeable
capacity may decrease. The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above
60 °C (140 °F).
• If an exhausted battery is used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Be sure that the
battery is fully charged and spare batteries are prepared 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 that could not be used temporarily due to lowered performance may recover some of
its charge.
• Should the battery terminals become dirty, the camera may not turn on due to poor contact. Wipe
the terminals off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
• If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat before removing
it for storage. Attach the included terminal cover to the battery and store it in a cool location with
an ambient temperature of 15 to 25 °C (59 to 77 °F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely
cold locations.
• While the battery is in storage, charge it at least once every six months and then use the camera to
run it flat again before storing it in a cool location.
• Always remove the battery from the camera or battery charger when it is not being used. Left
installed, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become
excessively drained and no longer function.
• A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when used at room
temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new battery.
• Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource.
Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Caring for the Camera
Cleaning
Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. 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 end). To remove fingerprints
or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft
cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working
toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened
with commercial lens cleaner.
Lens
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains,
clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.
Monitor
Body
Use a blower to remove dust, dirt or sand, 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 dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly. Note
that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the
warranty.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Caring for the Camera
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is off before
putting the camera away. Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an
extended period. Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, or
in any of the following locations:
• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
• Exposed to temperatures below -10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F)
• Poorly ventilated or 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.
C Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor 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.
• 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.
C Notes on Smear
White or colored streaks of light may be visible in the monitor with framing of bright subjects. This
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor. This is
due to characteristics of the image sensor and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also
cause partial discoloration in monitor display with shooting.
Smear does not affect recorded images except when shooting with Continuous set to Multi-shot
16 and when recording movies. When shooting in these modes, avoiding bright objects such as the
sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.
