Tile color of %ht reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. Tile 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 colors, select a white balance setting that matches the light source before shooting. Although Auto (the default setting) can be used under most types of lighting, white balance can be adjusted to suit the sky conditions or light source and achieve more natural color tones in the image. Description White balance isautomatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Usewhen shooting under unusual lighting (_34). Usewhen shooting outdoors in direct sunlight, Usewhen shooting under incandescent lighting. Usewhen shooting under fluorescent lighting. Usewhen shooting under overcast skies, Usewhen shooting with the flash. The icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor when the camera is in shooting mode (_]] 8). No icon is displayed when Auto is selected. S" _33

Preset manual is used with

unusual lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images shot under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light). Use the procedure below to measure the white balance value under the lighting used when shooting. 1 Prepare a white or gray-colored subject and then place it under the lighting that will be used when shooting. 2 Display the shooting menu ([_ 65), use the multi selector to select PREPreset manual in the White balance menu, and then press the I_) button. • The camera zooms in to the position for measuring white balance, 3 Select Measure. • To apply the most recently measured white balance value, select Cancel and then press the _) button.

damage the camera or memory card. If removed while the camera is saving or deleting data, data may be lost and the camera's memory or the memory card may be damaged, _1_ Notes on 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. • Scraping or pressing on the surface of the monitor may result in damage or malfunction, 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, • 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, Batteries Be sure to read and follow the warnings noted in "For Your Safety" (_ ix-xiv) before use. _1_ 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. _1_ Spare Batteries We recommend carrying spare batteries depending on where you are shooting.

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. £- o_

Do not mix

batteries with different amounts of charge remaining, or batteries of a different make or model, • When using EN MH2 batteries with the COOLPIX L820, charge four batteries at a time using Battery Charger MH 73. Use only Battery Charger MH 73 to charge EN MH2 batteries. • When using Battery Charger MH 73, only charge EN MH2 batteries. • EN MH1 rechargeable Ni MH batteries cannot be used, Notes About Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries • If you repeatedly charge rechargeable Ni MH batteries while they still have some charge remaining, the message Batter,/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. _1_ 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. Battery Terminals Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning, Remove dirt from the terminals using a dry cloth, 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, Recycling Used batteries are a valuable resource.
