F2 Technical Notes and Index The Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described below in addition to the warn ings in “For Your Safety” (Avii - x) when using or storing the device. BDo Not Drop The product may malfunction if subjec ted to strong shock or vibration. BHandle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the le ns cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens. Should the monitor break, ca re 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. BKeep Dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity. BAvoid Sudden Changes in Temperature Sudden changes in temperature, such as when enteri ng or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form in side the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature. BKeep away from Strong Magnetic Fields Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry. Caring for the Product
F3 Technical Notes and Index BDo 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 deteri oration of the image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs. BTurn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source Do not remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circ umstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. BNotes About 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. • Images in the monitor may be diffic ult to see under bright lighting. • The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should th e monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your Nikon-authorized service representative. BNotes About Smear 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 images saved with the camera except in the case of movies. When shooting movies, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such as the sun, reflec ted sunlight, and electric lights.
F4 Technical Notes and Index Batteries Be sure to read and follow the warnings in “For Your Safety” ( Avii-x) before use. BNotes 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. BSpare Batteries We recommend carrying spare batteries depending on where you are shooting. It may be difficult to purchase batteries in certain areas. BCharging Batteries If using optional rechargeable batteries, charge the batteries before taking pictures. 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. BCharging Rechargeable Batteries • Do not mix batteries with different amounts of char ge remaining, or batteries of a different make or model. • When using EN-MH2 batteries with this camera, charge two batteries at a time using Battery Charger MH-72. When using Battery Charger MH-73, charge two or four batteries at a time. Use only Battery Charger MH-72 or MH -73 to charge EN-MH2 batteries. • When using Battery Charger MH-72 or MH -73, only charge EN-MH2 batteries. BNotes About EN-MH1 Rechargeable Batteries and Battery Charger MH-70/71 •You can also use EN-MH1 Ni-MH rechargeable batteries with this camera. • Use only Battery Charger MH-70 or MH-71 to charge EN-MH1 batteries. • When using Battery Charger MH-70 or MH -71, only charge EN-MH1 batteries. • Set the Battery type setting (A24, E 67) in the setup menu to COOLPIX (Ni-MH).
F5 Technical Notes and Index BNotes About Rechargeable Ni-MH Batteries •If you repeatedly charge rech argeable Ni-MH batteries while they still have some charge remaining, the message Battery exhausted. may be displayed prematurely when using the batteries. This is due to the “mem ory effect,” in which the amount of charge the batteries can hold decreases temporarily. Use the batte ries 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. BCold Environment Usage Battery performance decreases in cold environments. When using the camera in cold environments, try not to let the camera and batteries become t oo 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. BBattery Terminals Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Remove dirt from the terminals using a dry cloth. BRemaining Battery Charge If you insert discharged batteries into the camera, the camera may indicate that the batteries have adequate charge remain ing. This is a characteristic of batteries. BRecycling Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteri es in accordance with local regulations. Cover the battery terminal s with plastic tape when recycling.

We recommen d formatting new memory cards with this camera before using them with this camera. • Note that formatting a memory card permanently de letes all images and other data on the memory card . If there is data saved on the memory card that you wish to keep, copy that data to a computer before formatting. • If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when the camera is turned on, the memory card must be formatted. If there is da ta on the memory card that you do not want to delete, select No and press the k button.

Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor mo th balls, or in any of the following locations: • Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios • Exposed to temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above 50°C (122°F) • Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60% To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera ou t of storage at least once a month. Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again. For storing the batteries, follow the precautions in “Batteries” ( F4) in “Caring for the Product” ( F 2). Cleaning and Storage Lens Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of them an d working toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly da mpened with commercial lens cleaner. MonitorRemove 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. BodyUse a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
