File and Folder Names
Pictures, movies, and voice memos 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 shot 
using Panorama assist (e.g. “101P_001”; A45), 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”.
•Voice memo file names have the same identifier and file number as the picture 
to which the voice memo is attached.
•Files copied using Copy > Selected images is 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 copies 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 (A110).
•A single folder can hold up to 200 pictures; if the current folder already contains 
200 pictures, a new folder, named by adding one to the current folder name, 
will be created the next time a picture is taken. If the current folder is numbered 
999 and contains 200 pictures, or a picture is numbered 9999, no further 
pictures can be taken until the internal memory or memory card is formatted 
(A125), or a new memory card is inserted.

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.
•Charge indoors at an ambient temperature between 5 and 35 °C (41 to 95 °F). When the battery 
temperature is between 0 and 10 °C (32 to 50 °F) or 45 to 60 °C (113 to 140 °F), the chargeable 
capacity may decrease. The battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 
60 °C (140 °F).
•If an exhausted battery is used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Be sure that the 
battery is fully charged and spare batteries are prepared 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 that could not be used temporarily due to lowered performance may recover some of 
its charge.
•Should the battery terminals become dirty, the camera may not turn on due to poor contact. Wipe 
the terminals 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. Attach the included terminal cover to the battery and store it 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.
•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 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.

Caring for the Camera
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.

Technical Notes
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 naphtha or camphor moth 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)
•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.
CNotes on the Monitor
•The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic 
common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded using the 
product will not be affected.
•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-authorized service representative.
CNotes on Smear
White or colored streaks of light may be visible in the monitor with framing of bright subjects. This 
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor. This is 
due to characteristics of the image sensor and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also 
cause partial discoloration in monitor display with shooting.
Smear does not affect recorded images except when shooting with Continuous set to Multi-shot 
16 and when recording movies. When shooting in these modes, avoiding bright objects such as the 
sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.
