Save Microsoft PowerPoint ®files in JPEGformat, copy them to the memory card,

and use the camera to project them. 1 In PowerPoint, save a PowerPoint file with a different name in JPEG format. • A new folder with the same name as the renamed file is created, and a JPEGfile for each slide of the PowerPoint document is saved in the new folder. • Be sure to use PowerPoint to save the file with a new name. Refer to the PowerPoint Help documentation for more information on saving files with new names and in different formats. 2 Change the name of the folderand JPEG files. • Folde[ name: three-digit single byte number 1+ five-character single-byte alphabetic string 2 e.g. "IOSUSERS" JPEGfile name: FSCN+ four digit single-byte number 3 e.g. "FSCN0001.j pg," "FSCNOOO2jpg," etc. 1. Use a three digit number that is one higher than the highest number used for existing subfolders in the DCIM folder described in step 3.The "105" in the example above is used when "104" isthe highest number in the names of existing subfolders. 2. "NIKON" cannot be used asthe five character single byte alphabetic string. 3. The JPEGfiles can be projected in the same order as the slides in the PowerPoint presentation if their four-digit single byte file numbers are placed in the same order. 3 Using the card reader, open the memory card 4 folder on the computer desktop. • Open the DCIM folder and copy the folder containing the JPEGfiles created in step 2 into it. • Additional JPEGfiles created from PowerPoint files can be added to the folders containing the JPEGfiles. (However, only the files can be added to these folders. The folders containing the files cannot be placed in these folders.) • When removing the memory card from the computer, remove the removable disk first and then remove the memory card. 4. Use a memory card that has been formatted or used for shooting at least once with the COOLPIX S1200pj. 4 Insert the memory card into the camera, turn on the camera, and open the projector cover. • The camera's built-in projector operates the same as normal when projecting PowerPoint documents converted to JPEGformat.

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 pictures according to the color of the light source. This is known as "white balance." For natural colors, choose a white balance setting that matches the Iight source before shooting. Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, the white balance setting suited to a particular light source can be specified manually to achieve more accurate results. Option Description _UTOAuto White balanceautomatically adjusted to suit lighting (default setting) conditions. Bestchoice in most sRuadons.

Life and Performance

[] The Battery • Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking pictures on important occasions. • Do not use the battery at am blent temperatures below 10°C (14°F) or above 40°C (104°F). • Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41 °F to 95°F) before use. • When charging the battery inserted into the COOLPIX S1200pj using the Charging AC Adapter EH 69P or a computer, the charge capacity may decrease at ambient temperatures 45 °C to 60 °C (113 °F to 140 °F). The battery is not charged at am blent temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or ahove 60 °C (140 °F). • Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally. • On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully charged 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 may recover some of its charge. • Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use. • If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and completely exhaust it before removing it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient tern perature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations. • Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not being used. When inserted, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become excessively drained and no longer function. Turning the camera on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life. • Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before returning it to storage. • After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, replace the included terminal cover and store it in a cool place. • 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.

[] 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. Pictures recorded using the product will not be affected. • 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 pictures recorded with the camera except in the cases of movies and of pictures recorded 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. • Pictures in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting. • The monitor is lit by an LED backlight.
