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”; A40), “INTVL” for interval timer 
photography (e.g. “101INTVL”; A100), “SOUND” for voice recordings (e.g. 
“101SOUND”; A75), 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 (A79, 113).
•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 (A126) or a new memory card 
inserted.DSCN0001.JPG

Technical Notes
Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following 
precautions when using or storing the device:
BKeep dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
BDo not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected 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 lens cover could result in camera malfunction 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.
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 deterioration of the CCD image sensor, producing a 
white blur effect in photographs.
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 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.
BAvoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as 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 temperature.
BTurn 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 damage to product 
memory or internal circuitry.

Technical Notes
CThe Battery
•Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and charge the battery if necessary. 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). Failure 
to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance.
•When recharging, the ambient temperature should be in the vicinity of 5 to 35 °C (41 to 95 °F).
•The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
Charging times may increase at battery temperatures from 0 °C to 10 °C (32 °F to 50 °F) and from 
45 °C to 60 °C (113 °F to 140 °F).
•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.
•Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
•If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat before removing 
it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15 to 
25 °C (59 to 77 °F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.
•While the battery is in storage, charge it at least once every six months and then use the camera to 
run it flat again before storing it in a cool location.
•Always remove the battery from the camera or battery charger when it is not being used. Left 
installed, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become 
excessively drained and no longer function.
•After removing the battery from the camera or battery charger, place it in the supplied battery 
case and store in a cool place.
•A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when used at room 
temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new EN-EL11 battery.
•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.

Technical Notes
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
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 damage not covered by the 
warranty.
