Caring for the Camera
Caring for the Camera
Maximizing Camera Life and Performance
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, 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.
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 charge 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.

CThe Battery
•Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. Do 
not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery 
performance. Whenever 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). 
•Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5 °C to 35 °C (41 °F to 95 °F) before 
use.
•When charging the COOLPIX S80 using the Charging AC adapter EH-68P or a computer, the 
charge capacity may decrease at ambient temperatures 45 °C to 60 °C (113 °F to 140 °F). 
•The battery is not charged at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °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. 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.
•Always remove the battery from the camera or Charging AC Adapter when it is not being used. 
When inserted, minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery even when not in use. This 
may result in excessive draining of the battery and complete loss of function. Turning the camera 
on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life. 
•Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before returning it 
to storage.
•After removing the battery from the camera or Charging AC Adapter, replace 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-EL10 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
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
StorageTurn the camera off when not in use. Be sure 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 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 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 does not indicate 
a malfunction. Images recorded using the product will not be affected.
•Due to the general characteristics of OLED monitors, prolonged or repeated display of the same 
screen or image may result in screen burn. Screen burn can be recognized by decreased 
brightness in portions of the monitor or mottled display. In some cases, screen burn may become 
permanent. However, pictures are in no way affected by screen burn.
To prevent screen burn, do not set monitor brightness higher than necessary and do not display 
the same screen or image for an extended period of time.
•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.
•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.
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 other sandy or dusty 
environment, wipe off any sand, dust or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened 
with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the 
camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.
