Notices/For Your Safety

Cautions

To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following

precautions when storing or using the device:

Keep dry

The device will be damaged if

immersed in water or subjected to

high levels of moisture.

Handle the lens and all moving

parts with care

Do not apply force to the lens or

lens cover, or to the connector, card

slot, or battery chamber covers.

These parts are especially suscepti-

ble to damage.

Turn the product off before

removing or disconnecting the

power source

Do not unplug the product or

remove the batteries while the

product is on, or while images are

being recorded or deleted. Forcibly

cutting power in these circum-

stances could result in loss of data

or in damage to product memory or

internal circuitry. To prevent an acci-

dental interruption of power, avoid

carrying the product from one

place to another while the AC

adapter (available separately) is

connected.

Do not drop

The product may malfunction if sub-

jected to strong shocks or vibration.

Keep away from strong mag-

netic fields

Do not use or store this device in

the vicinity of equipment that gen-

erates strong electromagnetic radia-

tion or magnetic fields. Strong static

charges or the magnetic fields pro-

duced by equipment such as radio

transmitters could interfere with the

monitor, damage data stored on the

memory card, or affect the prod-

uct's internal circuitry.

Avoid sudden changes in tem-

perature

Sudden changes in temperature,

such as occur when entering or leav-

ing a heated building on a cold day,

can cause condensation 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.

Do not point the lens at strong

light sources for extended peri-

ods

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 in the CCD

image sensor, producing a white

blur effect in photographs.

First Steps

Inserting Batteries

Your camera uses:

• LR6 (AA) alkaline batteries (×2), or

• Nikon EN-MH1 rechargeable nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries (×2), or

• ZR6 (AA) nickel manganese batteries (×2), or

• FR6/L91 (AA) lithium batteries (×2), or

• CR-V3 lithium batteries (×1)

Open the battery-chamber cover

• Pressing the battery-chamber latch (g;c),

slide the battery-chamber cover out (d).

Insert the batteries

• Insert the batteries as shown in the label inside

the battery chamber.

Close the battery-chamber cover

• Close the battery-chamber cover (c) and slide

it in until it latches (d). Be sure that the bat-

tery-chamber cover is properly latched.

[IMPORTANT] Battery Type

To improve battery performance, select the type of battery currently inserted in the camera in the

setup menu. The default setting is the type of the included batteries (E4100) or

Alkaline

(E3200/

E2200). When any other type of battery is used, turn the camera on and change the setting (

96).

AA batteries

CR-V3

Inserting Batteries

First Steps

Replacing Batteries

Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp has gone out before removing or in-

serting batteries.

Read Battery Warnings

Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.

Damaged Batteries

The following batteries can not be used:

• Batteries with peeling or damaged insulation. Using batter-

ies with damaged insulation could result in leakage, over-

heating, or rupture. Note that due to manufacturing

defects even new batteries may have faulty insulation.

• Batteries with insulation that covers only the sides of the

battery and not the area around the negative terminal.

• Batteries with a flat negative terminal. Do not use such bat-

teries even if the insulation adequately covers the area

around the negative terminal.

Alkaline Batteries

Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a reli-

able brand.

EN-MH1 Batteries

Using an MH-71 battery charger, charge EN-MH1 batteries before first use. Charge each pair of

batteries at the same time — do not charge batteries one at a time or mix batteries with different

charges. Note that EN-MH1 batteries may discharge quickly immediately after purchase or after the

batteries have been left unused for an extended period. This is normal, and the batteries will retain

a charge for longer periods after being used and recharged several times. For more information on

charging batteries, see the documentation provided with the MH-71.

Alternative Power Sources

• To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-62B AC adapter (Q

97). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter.

Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

• We recommend that you buy CR-V3 lithium batteries as a back-up power source.

First Steps

Inserting Memory Cards

Pictures can be stored in the camera's internal memory (about 14.5MB) or on Se-

cure Digital (SD) memory card. If no memory card has been inserted in the cam-

Step 1 - Select P Mode

This section details the basic steps involved in taking pictures in P (auto) mode.

In this automatic, "point-and-shoot" mode, the majority of camera settings are

controlled by the camera in response to shooting conditions, producing optimal

results in most situations.

Rotate the mode dial to P

Turn the camera on

• The power-on lamp will light and the monitor

will display a welcome screen (Q 83). The

camera is ready to shoot when the monitor

shows the view through the camera lens.

AUTO

Image mode

Choose from five (E4100/E3200) or

four (E2200) options depending on

how you plan to use the picture (

P indicates auto mode.

Flash mode

Choose from five modes de-

pending on lighting and your

creative intent (Q 24). The de-

fault setting is !# (auto).

Number of exposures remaining

Number of Exposures Remaining

If the number of exposures remaining is zero, the message "OUT OF MEMORY" will be displayed

in the monitor. No further pictures can be taken until you:

• choose a lower Image mode setting (Q

)

• insert a new memory card (Q 10)

• delete some pictures (Q 22-23, 73-74)

Basic Photography

Step 2 - Frame the Picture

Ready the camera

Hold the camera steadily in both hands. Photo-

graphs can be framed in the monitor or the view-

finder.

Frame your subject

Your Nikon digital camera is equipped with two

types of built-in zoom: optical zoom, in which the

camera's telescoping lens can be used to magnify the

subject up to 3 ×, and digital zoom, in which digital

processing is used to further magnify the image up

to 4 ×, for a total of 12 ×. Use the zoom buttons to

frame your subject in the center of the monitor:

• Press the l (W) button to zoom out from

your subject, increasing the area visible in the

frame.

• Press the O (T) button to zoom in on your sub-

ject so that it fills a larger area of the frame.

• When the camera is zoomed in to maximum

magnification, holding the O (T) button down

for about one second will trigger digital zoom.

The zoom indicator will turn yellow, and the

green (AF) lamp next to the viewfinder will

blink. Use the O (T) and l (W) buttons to ad-

just zoom in the digital zoom range. To cancel

digital zoom, press l (W) until the zoom in-

dicator turns white.

Don't Block the Shot

To avoid dark or partially obscured pictures, keep

your fingers and other objects away from the

lens, flash window and microphone (E4100/

E3200 only).

Zoom out Zoom in

AUTO

Indicator in monitor shows

ther button is pressed

Digital zoom

Step 2 - Frame the Picture

Basic Photography

Digital Zoom

In digital zoom, data from the camera's image sensor are processed digitally, enlarging the center

portion of the picture to fill the frame. Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the

amount of detail visible in the picture. Instead, details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply

enlarged, producing a slightly "grainy" image. Note that the effects of digital zoom are not visible

in the viewfinder - use the monitor when framing pictures with digital zoom. Digital zoom is not

available when the monitor is off or when Multi-Shot 16 is selected in the CONTINUOUS menu

(Q 68).

When Lighting Is Poor

When lighting is poor, sensitivity is raised to compensate and the image in the monitor may be

slightly mottled. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

Monitor or Viewfinder?

Use the monitor to confirm camera settings at a glance while at the same time viewing an image

that shows how the final picture will appear. This is particularly useful when the image in the view-

finder does not accurately reflect what will appear in the final picture, for example when:

• your subject is less than a meter (3´3”) from the camera

• digital zoom is in effect

Use the viewfinder when you want to save power by turning the monitor off (Q 5), or when

bright ambient lighting makes it difficult to see the display in the monitor.

Basic Photography

Step 3 - Focus and Shoot

Focus

Press the shutter-release button halfway to set fo-

cus and exposure. In P mode, the camera will

automatically focus on the subject at the center of

the frame. Focus and exposure will lock while the

shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

With the shutter-release button pressed halfway,

check focus and flash. Focus is indicated by the

green AF (autofocus) lamp next to the viewfinder

and by the focus indicator in the monitor. Flash

status is indicated by the red ! (flash-ready) lamp

next to the viewfinder.

Monitor turns off while flash is charging.

Take the picture

Press the shutter release button the rest of the way

down to take the picture. The shutter sound is

played when the shutter-release button is pressed

(default setting Q 90). To prevent blur, press the

shutter-release button down smoothly. You can

choose whether or not to display the camera

shake warning (Q 25).

Flash will fire when picture is

taken.

During Recording

While pictures are being recorded to the memory or memory card, the green (AF) lamp blinks, and

the < icon lights or the memory icon }// blinks. You can continue to take pictures until the <

icon is displayed. Do not turn the camera off, eject the memory card, or remove or discon-

nect the power source while picture are being recorded. Cutting power or removing the

memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.

Getting Good Results with Autofocus

Autofocus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and the background and the

subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the subject is very dark or moving rapidly, if there are

objects of sharply differing brightness in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind your subject and their

features are in deep shadow), or if there are several objects at different distances from the camera

at the center of the frame (e.g., your subject is inside a cage).

Focusing on Off-Center Subjects: Focus Lock

If your subject is not at the center of the frame when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway,

your picture may be out of focus. To focus on an off-center subject:

n Focus

Position the subject in the center of the frame and

press the shutter-release button halfway.

o Check the green (AF) lamp and focus indicator

With the shutter-release button pressed halfway,

check that the green (AF) lamp and focus indicator

glow steadily, indicating that the subject is in focus.

Focus and exposure will remain locked while the

shutter-release button is pressed halfway.

p Recompose the picture

Keeping the shutter-release button pressed half-

way, recompose your picture. Do not change the

distance between the camera and your subject

while focus lock is in effect. If your subject moves,

remove your finger from the shutter-release button

and focus again at the new distance.

q Take the picture

Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way

down to shoot.

Playback Tip

The first and last pictures in memory are linked. Pressing the multi selector up or left when the first

picture in memory is displayed will take you to the last picture. Pressing the multi selector down or

right when the last picture is displayed takes you to the first picture.

Image File and Folder Names

In the memory or on the memory card, pictures are identified by file names with three parts: a four

letter identifier, a four-digit file number assigned automatically by the camera in ascending order,

and a three-letter extension (e.g., "DSCN0001.JPG")

When a picture is viewed in the monitor, the file number and extension appear in the top right corner

of the display. The identifier is not displayed, but is visible when the picture is transferred to a computer.

Pictures are stored in folders created automatically by the camera and named with a three-digit fold-

er number followed by "NIKON" (e.g., "100NIKON"). Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if you

take a picture when the current folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding

one to the current folder number. If you take a picture when the current folder contains a picture

numbered 9999, a new folder will be created and file numbering will begin again from 0001. If the

number of files reaches 200 or file numbering reaches 9999 when the memory or memory card

contains a folder numbered 999, no further pictures can be taken until the memory or memory card

has been formatted (

93) or a new memory card inserted.

Sensitivity ( ISO Equivalency)

"Sensitivity" is a measure of how quickly the camera responds to light.

Your Nikon digital camera normally has a sensitivity roughly equivalent to

film with an ISO 50 rating. When lighting is poor and the flash is off ($),

the camera will automatically increase sensitivity, permitting faster expo-

sures and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement (cam-

era shake). An ISO icon will appear in the monitor to warn that the picture

may be slightly mottled.

The 2 (Camera Shake) Icon

When lighting is poor and the flash is off ($), shutter speeds will slow

and pictures may be blurred. If the shutter speed required for exposure is

very slow, a 2 (camera shake) warning will appear in the monitor. Use of

a tripod or support is recommended.

Flash Range

Refer to "Specifications" (Q 107).

Close-Ups

The flash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances of less than 40 cm (1´4”). When

taking close-ups, play each picture back after shooting to check the results.

Flash Mode Selection

In P (auto) mode, the camera "remembers" the current flash mode setting even when the cam-

era is turned off. The most recent setting will automatically be restored whenever the mode dial is

set to P unless the Reset all option in the setup menu is used to restore the default setting (Q

94). Depending on the mode selected, the flash mode may change automatically when you

choose a new shooting mode (Q 28-39).

The AF-Assist Illuminator (E4100/E3200 only)

The E4100 and E3200 are equipped with an AF-assist illuminator. If lighting is poor, the built-in

AF-assist illuminator will light when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, allowing the

camera to focus even when the subject is poorly lit. When the camera is zoomed all the way out,

the AF-assist illuminator has a range of 0.4 – 2.0m (1’4” – 6’7”). The range at maximum zoom

is 0.4 – 1.4m (1’4” – 4’6”). In scene mode (Q 28-39), the AF-assist illuminator is only available

in i (Portrait), m (Night Portrait) and B (Party/Indoor) modes without the framing assist op-

tion (Q 29-33), and in C (Beach/Snow), D (Sunset), I (Copy), J (Back light) and K

(Panorama assist) modes.

Pictures taken with a digital camera are recorded as

image files. The size of the files, and with it the num-

ber of images that can be recorded in the memory or

on the memory card, depends on the size and quality

of the images. Before shooting, choose image quality

and size according to how you plan to use the picture.

* To reduce the amount of memory each shot occupies, pictures are compressed as they are saved

to the memory or memory card. Compression selectively reduces the quality of the image. The

more a picture is compressed, the more noticeable this loss of quality is likely to be. The figures

show the appropriate compression ratio for each setting.

† All figures are approximate. Dimensions in "Description" column assume a printer resolution of

approximately 200 dpi, dimensions in "Print size" column a resolution of approximately 300 dpi.

The following table shows the approximate number of pictures that can be

stored in the memory or on 128- and 256-megabyte memory cards at different

image mode settings.

All figures are approximate. File size of pictures depends on scene recorded, producing wide vari-

ations in number of images that can be stored.

Image Mode and Number of Exposures Remaining

The figure shown in the monitor for the number of exposures remaining is only an approximation.

The file size of compressed images varies with the scene recorded, producing wide variations in the

number of pictures that can be stored.

Image Size

Smaller images create smaller files suited to transmission by e-mail or use in web pages. When

printed at larger sizes, however, small images will be rough and uneven in appearance.

Print Size

The size of images when printed depends on the printer resolution: the higher the resolution, the

smaller the final print size.

The current image mode setting is shown by an icon at the bottom left

White Balance

White balance

The color of the light reflected from an object varies

with the color of the light source. The human brain is

able to adapt to such changes in color, with the result

that we see white objects as white, regardless of

whether they are in the shade, direct sunlight, or under

incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this

adjustment by processing information from the cam-

era’s image sensor (CCD) according to the color of the

light source. This process is known as a "white balance adjustment."

• If you cannot achieve the desired white balance with Auto (M) or you want to

lock the white balance for a specific light source or shooting conditions,

choose a setting other than Auto (M).

• When the white balance setting is changed, the new setting is reflected in the

picture in the monitor.

Option Description

M Auto

White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting condi-

tions. Best choice in most situations.

n White bal. preset

unusual lighting conditions.

Preset White Balance

Preset white balance is used when shooting under

mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with

a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures tak-

en under a lamp with a red shade look as though they

had been taken under white light). When n (White

bal. preset) is selected from the white-balance

menu, the camera will zoom in and the menu shown

at right will be displayed in the monitor.

At settings other than auto, white balance is shown by an icon in the mon-

Option Description

Recalls the most recent value for preset white balance from memory and

sets white balance to this value.

Measure

To measure a new value for white balance, place a gray object, such as a

piece of cardboard, under the lighting that will be used in the final picture.

Frame this object so that it fills the square in the center of the menu shown

above. Highlight Measure and press the center of the multi selector to

measure a new value for white balance (shutter will be released and cam-

era will return to original zoom position, but no picture will be recorded).

The Shooting Menu

Exp. +/-

The Exp. +/- (exposure compensation) menu is used

to alter exposure from the value suggested by the

camera, making pictures brighter or darker. Exposure

can be adjusted in the range -2.0 to +2.0 EV.

• When the exposure compensation is altered, the

new setting is reflected in the picture in the moni-

tor.

Choosing an Exposure Compensation Value

As a rule of thumb, select positive values when large areas of the frame are very brightly lit (for ex-

ample, when photographing an expanse of sunlit water, sand, or snow) or when the background

is much brighter than the main subject. Choose negative values when large areas of the frame are

very dark (for example, when photographing a forest of dark green leaves) or when the back-

ground is much darker than the main subject. This is because the camera, in order to avoid extreme

over- or under-exposure, tends to lower exposure when the frame is very bright and raise exposure

when the frame is very dark, which can make naturally bright subjects look dim and naturally dark

subjects appear over-bright, or "washed out."

At settings other than 0, exposure compensation is shown in the monitor.

Restrictions on Camera Settings

At settings other than Single, the flash (Q 24) turns off automatically and focus (Q 20), exposure

(Q 67), and auto white balance (Q 65) for all photos are determined by the first picture in each

series. When Multi-Shot 16 is selected, digital zoom (Q 18) can not be used. Multi-Shot 16 can

not be selected when digital zoom is in effect. BSS (Q 69) is available only at a setting of Single.

Continuous

At settings other than Single, the current "continuous" setting is indicat-

ed by an icon in the monitor.

Option Description

Single

Camera takes one picture each time shutter-release button is

pressed.

Continuous

Camera takes pictures continuously while shutter-release button is

held down. Pictures are recorded at a rate of about three frames

every two seconds. With E4100, camera records seven pictures

when image mode is set to F Normal (2288). With E3200,

camera records five pictures when image mode is set to b

Normal (2048), and with E2200, six pictures when image mode is

set to c Normal (1600).

Multi-Shot 16

When shutter-release button is pressed all the way, camera takes

sixteen consecutive images at a rate of about three frames every

two seconds. With E3200, up to five series of images can be taken,

and with E4100/E2200, one series can be taken. The sixteen

images are arranged in four rows of four images and saved as a

single picture. Image mode is fixed at F Normal (2288) with

are then compared and the sharpest picture (the pic-

ture with highest level of detail) saved to the memory

or memory card. BSS is recommended for situations in

which inadvertent camera movement can produce

blurred pictures, for example when:

• the camera is zoomed in

IMAGE CANNOT BE SAVED will be displayed (Q 101). Delete unwanted pictures or insert

a new memory card (if using a memory card) before trying again.

• Movies over 10 MB cannot be copied to the E3200 and movies over 5 MB cannot be cop-

dled.

• Copying of pictures taken with another make of camera or retouched on a computer is

not guaranteed by Nikon.

File Number

• When pictures are copied using the All images option, all the pictures in the folder are

copied with the same file numbers. The newly copied folder is assigned the lowest avail-

able number.

• When pictures are copied using the Selected images option, the newly copied pictures

are numbered consecutively from the largest number existing between the two memory

sources.

Ex: when the last number in the source memory is 32 (DSCN0032.JPG) and the last number

in the destination memory is 15 (DSCN0015.JPG)

The copied pictures are assigned numbers starting from DSCN0033.

After that, numbering will continue from the lowest number after the number of the last

file that was copied.

Technical Notes

Caring for Your Camera

Cleaning

Lens

One key to cleaning the lens is to not touch it with your fingers. Remove dust or

lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end

that you pump to produce a stream of air out the other). To remove fingerprints

or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft

cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to

the edges.

Monitor

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.

Avoid contact with liquid crystal

Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken

glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or en-

tering the eyes or mouth.

Body

Use a blower to remove dust and lint, 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

cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Notes on the Monitor

• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a char-

acteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images

recorded using the product will not be affected.

• When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end

may appear in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as "smear," does not appear in the

final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.

• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.

• The monitor is lit by an LED backlit. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact

your Nikon service representative.

Caring for Your Camera

Technical Notes

Storage

Turn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp is off be-

fore putting the camera away. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a

dry, well-ventilated area. If you will not be using the product for long periods, re-

move the batteries to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag con-

taining a desiccant. Do not store the camera case (available separately) in a plastic

bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradually

loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals.

Do not store your camera with naptha or camphor moth balls or in locations that:

• are poorly ventilated or damp

• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as

televisions or radios

• are exposed to temperatures below -10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F; for

example near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a sunny day)

• are 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.

Store the batteries in a cool, dry place.

Batteries

• When turning the camera on, check that

the batteries are charged. The monitor

will display a warning when batteries are

low.

• Carry a fresh CR-V3 battery as a replace-

ment when taking pictures on important

occasions.You may find it difficult to pur-

chase replacement batteries on short no-

tice.

• On cold days, the capacity of batteries

tends to decrease. Be sure that the batter-

ies are fully charged before heading out-

side 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.

• If the battery terminals are dirty, wipe

them off with a clean, dry cloth before

use.

• Repeatedly recharging NiMH batteries be-

fore they are fully exhausted may result in

a "memory" effect, causing the batteries

to lose their charge quickly. The batteries

will return to normal after being fully dis-

charged and recharged.

• NiMH batteries gradually lose their charge

when left unused. We recommend that

you charge NiMH batteries immediately

before use.

• Used batteries are a valuable resource.

Please recycle used batteries in accor-

dance with local regulations.

Troubleshooting

If your camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems

below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative. Refer to the page

numbers listed in the right-most column for information on solving the problems

listed here.

Electronically-Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the camera

may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static

charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the batteries, and turn the camera on

again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (available separately), disconnect and reconnect

the adapter, and turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact

your retailer or Nikon representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described

above may result in the loss of any data not recorded to the memory or memory card at the

time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory or memory card will not

be affected.
