Use Only Nikon Brand Electronic Accessories
Nikon COOLPIX cameras are designed to the highest standards and include complex electronic

leaking.
For more information about Nikon brand accessories, contact a local 
authorized Nikon dealer.

Information and Precautions
Introduction
Notice Concerning Prohibition of Copying or Reproduction
Note that simply being in possession of material that was digitally copied or reproduced by means 
of a scanner, digital camera or other device may be punishable by law.
•Items prohibited by law from being copied or reproduced
Do not copy or reproduce paper money, coins, securities, government bonds or local government 
bonds, even if such copies or reproductions are stamped “Sample”. The copying or reproduction 
of paper money, coins, or securities which are circulated in a foreign country is prohibited. Unless 
the prior permission of the government was obtained, the copying or reproduction of unused 
postage stamps or post cards issued by the government is prohibited. The copying or 
reproduction of stamps issued by the government and of certified documents stipulated by law is 
prohibited.
•Cautions on certain copies and reproductions
The government has issued cautions on copies or reproductions of securities issued by private 
companies (shares, bills, checks, gift certificates, etc.), commuter passes or coupon tickets, except 
when a minimum of necessary copies are to be provided for business use by a company. Also, do 
not copy or reproduce passports issued by the government, licenses issued by public agencies 
and private groups, ID cards and tickets, such as passes and meal coupons.
•Comply with copyright notices
The copying or reproduction of copyrighted creative works such as books, music, paintings, 
woodcut prints, maps, drawings, movies and photographs is governed by national and 
international copyright laws. Do not use this product for the purpose of making illegal copies or to 
infringe copyright laws.
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or built-
in camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes 
be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially 
resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s 
responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data 
using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images 
containing no private information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any 
pictures selected for the welcome screen (A115). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage 
to property when physically destroying data storage devices.
