123 Technical Notes Image/Sound File and Folder Names Pictures, movies, voice memos, and voice recordings are assigned file names as follows: • Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a five- character identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures taken using panorama assist (e.g., “101P_001”; c40), “INTVL” for inter- val timer photography (e.g., “101INTVL”; c94), “SOUND” (normal qual- ity sound) or “SOUNE” (high quality sound) for voice recordings (e.g., “101SOUND”; c69), and “NIKON” for all other pictures (e.g., “100NIKON”). When the number of files within a folder reaches 9999, a new folder will be created. File numbers will be assigned automatically starting with “0001”. • Files copied using [Copy] > [Selected images] or [Copy sound files] > [Selected files] are copied to the current folder, where they are assigned new file numbers in ascending order starting from the largest file number in memory. [Copy] > [All images] and [Copy sound files] > [Copy all files] copy all folders from the source medium; file names do not change but new folder numbers are assigned in ascending order starting from the largest folder number on the destination medium (c73, 104).

124 Image/Sound File and Folder Names Technical Notes • Pictmotion movies (c57) are stored under the “NKST” folder in folders named with a three-digit folder number followed by “PRJCT” (e.g., “101PRJCT”). Each folder contains the picture and sound files for a single Pictmotion movie. • Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if a picture is taken when the current folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding one to the current folder number. If a picture is taken when the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 200 pictures or a picture numbered 9999, no further pictures can be taken until the medium is formatted (c117) or a new memory card inserted.

125 Technical Notes Caring for the Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following precautions when using or storing the device. jKeep dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity. jDo not drop The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. jHandle 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 lens cover could result in camera mal- function or damage to the lens. Should the monitor break, care 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. jDo 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 of the CCD image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs. jKeep away from strong magnetic fields Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromag- netic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry. jAvoid sudden changes in temperature Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temper- ature. jTurn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in dam- age to product memory or internal circuitry. Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Nikon Manuals
126 Caring for the Camera Technical Notes jThe Self-Timer Lamp/AF-Assist Illuminator LED The light-emitting diode (LED; c4, 30, 115) used in the self- timer lamp/AF-assist illuminator conforms to the following IEC standard: kThe Battery • Check the battery level when taking the camera out and charge the battery if necessary (c12). Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in reduced battery performance. If possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking pictures on important occasions. • Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F). During charging, the temperature should be in the vicinity of 5 to 35 °C (41 to 95 °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. • When the battery is not in use, remove it from the camera or battery charger and replace the terminal cover. The camera and battery charger draw minute amounts of current even when off; if left in place, the battery could be drained to the point that it no longer func- tions. Turning the camera on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced bat- tery life. If the battery will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool (15 to 25 °C / 59 to 77 °F), dry place. Recharge it at least once a year and run it flat before return- ing it to storage. • Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Nikon Manuals
127 Caring for the Camera Technical Notes Cleaning 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. Remove the battery 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 fields, such as televisions 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 put- ting the camera away again. kNotes 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 affected. • When framing 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 final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies. • Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting. • The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your Nikon service representative. LensAvoid 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 the lens and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened 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. 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 dam- age not covered by the warranty. Downloaded From camera-usermanual.com Nikon Manuals
