Observe the following precaution when handling

the battery charger

If an MH-71 battery charger is provided

with the camera, observe the following

precautions:

• Keep dry. Failure to observe this precau-

tion could result in ﬁ re or electric shock.

• Dust on or near the metal parts of the plug

should be removed with a dry cloth. Con-

tinued use could result in ﬁ re.

• Do not handle the power cable or go near

the battery charger during thunderstorms.

Failure to observe this precaution could re-

sult in electric shock.

• Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or

bend the power cable, place it under

heavy objects, or expose it to heat or ﬂ ame.

Should the insulation be damaged and the

wires become exposed, take it to a Nikon-

authorized service representative for in-

spection. Failure to observe these precau-

tions could result in ﬁ re or electric shock.

• Do not handle the plug or battery charger

with wet hands. Failure to observe this pre-

caution could result in electric shock.

Use appropriate cables

When connecting cables to the input and

output jacks, use only the cables provided

or sold by Nikon for the purpose, to main-

tain compliance with product regulations.

Handle moving parts with care

Be careful that your ﬁ ngers or other objects

are not pinched by the lens cover or other

moving parts.

First Steps

Inserting Batteries

The camera uses two AA batteries. Depending on the country or region of pur-

chase, the package will include either alkaline batteries or an MH-71 battery char-

ger with rechargeable EN-MH1-B2 batteries.

Charge the batteries (EN-MH1-B2 batteries only)

If the camera came with a battery charger and rechargeable Nikon EN-MH1-B2

NiMH batteries, charge the batteries as described below. If the camera came

with a pair of alkaline batteries, skip to Step 2 on the following page.

1.1

Plug the charger in

Connect the power cable to the charger (

EN-MH1-B2 Batteries

Charge EN-MH1-B2 batteries before ﬁ rst use. Charge and use as a set: do not charge batter-

ies one at a time or mix batteries from diﬀ erent pairs. Note that the batteries may tend to

discharge more quickly when new or after a long period of disuse. The batteries will retain a

charge longer once they have been used and recharged several times. “Memory” eﬀ ects that

result in reduced battery capacity can be avoided by periodically refreshing the batteries as

described in the Appendix ( 69).

ﬁ cation of 20 ×. Note that unlike optical zoom, digital zoom

does not increase the amount of detail visible in the picture.

Instead, details visible at 5 × zoom are simply enlarged, pro-

ducing a slightly “grainy” image.

camera will select the focus area ( 4–5) con-

taining the subject closest to the camera. If

the camera is able to focus on this subject,

Take the picture

Press the shutter release button the rest of the

way down to take the picture. Note that the

ﬂ ash may ﬁ re if the subject is poorly lit.

If lighting is poor and the ﬂ ash is oﬀ , a icon will be dis-

played to warn that pictures may be blurred as a result of

the slow shutter speeds. If an ISO icon is displayed, sensi-

tivity has been raised to compensate for poor lighting and

pictures may be aﬀ ected by “noise” in the form of randomly-

spaced, brightly-colored dots. The camera may process pic-

tures to reduce noise, doubling recording times.

If the warning at right is displayed after a picture is taken,

the picture may be blurred. Select No to exit without re-

cording the picture.

The Flash Lamp

The camera uses advanced red-eye reduction. Low-intensity light pulses cause the sub-

ject’s pupils to contract before the ﬂ ash ﬁ res. If the camera still detects red-eye, it will pro-

cess the image to further its eﬀ ects (this may slightly increase the time needed to record

the picture). This mode is not recommended where a quick shutter response is required;

if the desired results are not achieved, try again at a diﬀ erent ﬂ ash setting.

Technical Notes

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following pre-

cautions when storing or using the device.

Handle the lens and all moving parts with care

Do not apply force to the lens, monitor, or

battery-chamber and lens covers. These

parts are easily damaged. Force applied

to the lens cover could cause malfunction

or damage the lens. Should the monitor

break, care should be taken to avoid injury

due to broken glass and to prevent the liq-

uid crystal from the display touching the

skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

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 in the CCD

image sensor, producing a white blur eﬀ ect

in photographs.

Turn the product oﬀ before removing or discon-

necting 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 accidental interrup-

tion of power, avoid carrying the product

from one place to another while an AC

adapter is connected.

Keep dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in

water or subjected to high levels of mois-

ture.

Do not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected

to strong shocks or vibration.

Keep away from strong magnetic ﬁ elds

Do not use or store this device in the vi-

cinity of equipment that generates strong

electromagnetic radiation or magnetic

ﬁ elds. Strong static charges or the mag-

netic ﬁ elds produced by equipment such

as radio transmitters could interfere with

the monitor, damage data stored on the

memory card, or aﬀ ect the product’s inter-

nal circuitry.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as

occur when entering or leaving a heated

building on a cold day, can cause conden-

sation inside the device. To prevent con-

densation, place the device in a carrying

case or a plastic bag before exposing it to

sudden changes in temperature.

Batteries

• Check the battery level when taking the camera out and replace the batteries if necessary

( 10). If possible, carry spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions.

• Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh 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.

• Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with

local regulations.

Technical Notes

Cleaning

Lens Avoid touching glass parts with your ﬁ ngers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typi-

cally a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to pro-

duce a stream of air out the other). To remove ﬁ ngerprints 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. If this fails, clean the

lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove ﬁ ngerprints and other stains, clean the

monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

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 under warranty.

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

Storage

Turn the camera oﬀ when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is oﬀ before

putting the camera away and remove the batteries if the camera will not be used

for an extended period. Do not store the camera with naptha or camphor moth

balls or in locations that:

• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic ﬁ elds, such as tele-

visions or radios

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

• are 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.

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 displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images

recorded using the product will not be aﬀ ected.

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

may appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as “ smear,” does not appear in the ﬁ nal

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

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

• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or ﬂ icker, contact

your Nikon service representative.

Troubleshooting

If the 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 in the right-most column for more information.

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

era 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 then 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 internal memory or the memory card at the time

the problem occurred. Data already recorded will not be aﬀ ected.
