Water seeping inside the camera could cause a malfunction. • Accessories are not waterproof. • If liquids or water droplets come into contact with the outside of the camera or the inside of the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, immediately wipe the liquids off with a soft dry cloth. Do not insert wet memory cards or the battery. If the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed under wet conditions near a waterfront or underwater, this could cause water to seep inside the camera or result in camera malfunction. Do not open or close the cover with wet hands. This could cause water to seep inside the camera or result in camera malfunction.

• If a foreign substance adheres to the outside of the

camera or the inside of the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover (such as the hinge, memory card slot, and connectors), remove it immediately with a blower. If a foreign substance adheres to the waterproof packing inside the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, remove it with the included brush. Do not use the included brush for anything other than cleaning the waterproof packing. • If a foreign substance such as suntan oil, sunscreen lotion, hot spring, bath mix powder, detergent, soap, organic solvent, oil, or alcohol adheres to the camera, immediately wipe it off. • Do not leave the camera in high-temperature conditions of 40°C (104°F) or more (in particular, a place exposed to direct sunlight, inside the cabin of a car, on a boat, on the beach, or near a heating device) for a long period of time. This could cause deterioration of the waterproof performance. Before Using the Camera Underwater 1. Make sure that there are no foreign substances inside the battery-chamber/ memory card slot cover. • Any foreign substances such as sand, dust or hair inside the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover should be removed with a blower. • Any liquid such as water droplets inside the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover should be wiped off with a soft dry cloth. 2. Make sure that the waterproof packing (A 2) of the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is not cracked or deformed. • The waterproof performance of waterproof packing may start to deteriorate after one year.

Make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is firmly closed. • Slide the cover until it clicks into place.

Notes About Using the Camera Underwater

Observe the following precautions to prevent water from seeping inside the camera. • Do not dive into water deeper than 10 m (33 ft) with the camera. • Do not continuously use the camera underwater for 60 minutes or more. • Use the camera in the water temperature range 0°C–40°C (32°F–104°F) when using it underwater. Do not use the camera at hot springs. • Do not open or close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover underwater. • Do not subject the camera to shock when using it underwater. Do not jump into water with the camera or subject it to high water pressure conditions such as rapids or waterfalls. • This camera does not float in water. Make sure not to drop the camera underwater. Cleaning After Using the Camera Underwater • After using the camera underwater, clean the camera within 60 minutes. If you leave the camera in wet conditions where salt particles or other foreign substances adhere to it, this could cause damage, discoloration, corrosion, a bad smell or deterioration of waterproof performance. • Before cleaning the camera, thoroughly remove water droplets, sand, salt particles, or other foreign substances from your hands, body, and hair. • It is recommended to clean the camera indoors to avoid a place where it could be exposed to water spray or sand. • Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover until all foreign substances are washed off with water and all moisture is wiped off.

1. Keep the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover closed and wash off the

camera with fresh water. Lightly rinse the camera with tap water, or immerse the camera in a shallow basin filled with freshwater for about 10 minutes. • If the buttons or switches do not operate properly, foreign substances may have adhered to the camera. Foreign substances can cause the camera to malfunction; wash the camera thoroughly. 2. Wipe off water droplets with a soft cloth and dry the camera in the well-ventilated and shady place. • Place the camera on a dry cloth to dry it. Water will flow out from openings in the microphone or speakers. • Do not dry the camera with hot air from a hair dryer or clothes dryer. • Do not use chemicals (such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, or cleanser), soap, or neutral detergents. If the waterproof packing or body of the camera becomes deformed, the waterproof performance will deteriorate.

3. After making sure that there are no water droplets on the camera, open the

battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, gently wipe off any water remaining inside the camera with a dry soft cloth, and use the blower to remove any foreign substances. • If you open the cover before the camera is thoroughly dried, water droplets may fall on the memory card or battery. The water droplets may also seep inside the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover (in locations such as waterproof packing, hinges, memory card slot, or terminals). If that happens, wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth. • If the cover is closed when the inside is wet, this could cause condensation or malfunction. • If the microphone or speaker openings are clogged with water droplets, the sound may deteriorate or become distorted. - Wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth. - Do not puncture the microphone or speaker openings with a sharp implement. If the inside of the camera is damaged, the waterproof performance will deteriorate.

Notes About Operating Temperature and Humidity and

Condensation The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures –10°C – +40°C (14°F–104°F). When you use the camera in cold climate regions, observe the following precautions. Keep the camera and spare batteries in a warm place before use. • The performance of the batteries (number of pictures shot and shooting time) will drop temporarily. • If the camera is in a very cold state, the performance may drop temporarily, for example, the monitor may be darker than normal immediately after the camera is turned on or residual images may be produced. • When snow or water droplets adhere to the exterior of the camera, immediately wipe them off. - If the buttons or switches are frozen, they may not operate smoothly. - If the microphone or speaker openings are clogged with water droplets, the sound may deteriorate or become distorted. bOperating environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity may cause fogging (condensation) on the inside of the monitor, lens, or flash window. This is not a camera malfunction or defect. bEnvironmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation inside of the camera Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor, lens, or flash window in the following environmental conditions where there are sharp temperature changes or high humidity. • The camera is suddenly immersed in low temperature underwater from high temperature on land. • The camera is moved from a cold place to a warm place, such as inside a building. • The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is open or closed in a high-humidity environment. bClearing the fogging • Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover after turning off the camera in a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid any place that has high temperature/high humidity, sand or dust). To clear the fogging, remove the battery and memory card, and leave the camera with the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the camera to adjust to the ambient temperature. • If the fogging does not clear, consult your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative.

Tips and Notes

D Shoot night scenes • When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera captures a series of images which are combined into a single image and saved. • Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still image is displayed. After taking an image, do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen. • The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting. • The flash setting is fixed at y Flash off (A 31). • The self-timer can be set, but Y Smile timer is not available (A 33, 35). H Shoot close-ups • The camera automatically zooms to the closest position at which it can focus. • The flash is set to y Flash off, but the setting can be changed (A 31). • The self-timer can be set, but Y Smile timer is not available (A 33, 35). X Photograph food • The camera automatically zooms to the closest position at which it can focus. • Use the multi selector JK to adjust the hue setting and press flexible button 4 (O). The hue setting is saved in the camera’s memory even after the camera is turned off. • The flash setting is fixed at y Flash off (A 31). • The self-timer can be set, but Y Smile timer is not available (A 33, 35).

O Shoot at intervals

• The camera can automatically capture still images at pre-determined intervals. Images captured in one shooting are saved in one folder and can be viewed in a slide show (A 58). • Press flexible button 2 (d Shoot every 30 seconds), flexible button 3 (e Shoot once a minute), or flexible button 4 (f Shoot every 5 minutes) to set the shooting interval. • The maximum number of images that can be captured depends on the selected interval. - Shoot every 30 seconds: Approx. 280 images - Shoot once a minute: Approx. 140 images - Shoot every 5 minutes: Approx. 30 images • Use a sufficiently charged battery to prevent the camera from turning off during shooting. • Press the shutter-release button all the way down to capture the first image. In between each shot, the monitor turns off and the power-on lamp flashes. The monitor automatically turns on again just before the next image is captured. • Press the shutter-release button halfway to stop shooting. • The flash is set to w Auto flash, but the setting can be changed (A 31). • The self-timer is not available (A 33). J Shoot under water • When Shoot under water is set, the waterproofing-related messages are displayed. Confirm each message and press the multi selector K to display the next message. Press flexible button 4 (O) to skip the messages and change to the shooting screen. • See “ Shockproof, Waterproof, Dustproof, Condensation” (A xv-xxi) for more information about using the camera underwater. • The flash is set to y Flash off, but the setting can be changed (A 31). • The self-timer can be set, but Y Smile timer is not available (A 33, 35).

I Take a series of pictures

• The camera captures a series of still images that allow you to clearly see detailed movements in a moving subject. • While the shutter-release button is held all the way down, the camera shoots up to 11 images continuously at a rate of about 4.7 frames per second (fps) (when Choose a size > Photo size is set to D Large (13 megapixels)). • The frame rate for continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current photo size setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition. • Focus, exposure, and hue are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series. • The flash setting is fixed at y Flash off (A 31). • The self-timer is not available (A 33). K Photograph fireworks • The shutter speed is fixed at about four seconds. • The flash setting is fixed at y Flash off (A 31). • The self-timer is not available (A 33). E Shoot backlit scenes • When taking images with very bright and dark areas in the same frame, such as backlit scenes, the high dynamic range (HDR) compositing is applied and loss of details in highlights or shadows is minimized. • When the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, the camera shoots images continuously at high speed, and saves the following two images. - A non-HDR composite image - An HDR composite image in which the loss of details in highlights or shadows is minimized • If there is only enough memory to save one image, an image processed at the time of shooting, in which dark areas of the image are corrected, is the only image saved. • Once the shutter-release button is pressed all the way, hold the camera still until a still image is displayed. After taking an image, do not turn the camera off before the monitor switches to the shooting screen. • The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen in the monitor at the time of shooting. • The flash setting is fixed at y Flash off (A 31). • The self-timer can be set, but Y Smile timer is not available (A 33, 35).

The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode and settings.

Using Face Detection In the following shooting modes and settings, the camera uses face detection to automatically focus on human faces. • A Point and shoot (A 30) • Shoot at intervals (A 39) and Take a series of pictures (A 40) when using Choose a style • Smile timer (A 35) 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 Focusing 1100 1100 20m 0s 20m 0s

Using Skin Softening

When the shutter is released while using one of the shooting modes and settings listed below, the camera detects human faces and processes the image to soften facial skin tones (up to three faces). • A Point and shoot (A 30) • Smile timer (A 35) 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.) • Subject is moving rapidly In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A 55).

Focus lock shooting is recommended when the camera does not activate the focus area that

contains the desired subject. The following explains how to use focus lock when A Point and shoot is enabled and the focus area is displayed in the center of the frame. 1 Position the subject in the center of the frame and press the shutter- release button halfway. • Confirm that the focus area glows green. • Focus and exposure are locked. 2 Without lifting your finger, recompose the picture. • Make sure to maintain the same distance between the camera and the subject. 3 Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture. 1/250 1/250 F3.3 F3.3 1/250 1/250 F3.3 F3.3

Recording and Playing Back Movies

B Maximum Movie Length Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording. • The maximum movie length for a single movie is displayed on the shooting screen. • Recording may end before either limit is reached if camera temperature becomes elevated. • The actual movie length may vary depending on the movie content, subject movement, or type of memory card. B Notes About Saving Movies After a movie has been recorded, it is not fully saved to the internal memory or memory card until monitor display returns to the shooting display. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card. Removing the memory card or the battery while a movie is being saved may result in loss of the movie data or damage to the camera or to the memory card. B Notes About Movie Recording • Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording movies (F23). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class rating are used. • When recording movies while Electronic VR (A 65, E38) in the camera settings is set to Auto, the angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) is narrow compared to that of still images. • The optical zoom ratio cannot be changed once recording starts. • There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. • The sounds of multi selector operation, autofocus lens drive movement, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded. • The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies. - Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor lighting. - Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving train or car, may appear skewed. - The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned. - Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved. • Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) may have colored stripes (interference patterns, moire, etc.) in them during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.

Recording and Playing Back Movies

B Camera Temperature • The camera may become warm when shooting movies for an extended period of time or when the camera is used in a hot area. • If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera will automatically stop recording. The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (u10s) is displayed. After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off. Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled. B Notes About Autofocus Autofocus may not perform as expected (A 54). Should this occur, try the following: Frame another subject—positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject—in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, and then modify the composition.
