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, images of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any  
images selected for the Select an image option in the Welcome screen setting (A98). Care  
should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage  
devices.

C Using a Tripod  
We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera when shooting in the following situations:  
- When shooting in dim lighting or when the flash mode (A54) is set to W (Off).  
- When using the telephoto setting.  
Set Vibration reduction to Off in the setup menu (A98) when using a tripod to stabilize the  
camera during shooting.  
Using the Zoom  
Use the zoom control to activate optical zoom.  
Zoom out  
Zoom in  
Rotate the zoom control to g to zoom in so that the subject  
fills a larger area of the frame.  
Rotate the zoom control to f to zoom out, thus increasing  
the area visible in the frame.  
The zoom position is set at the maximum wide-angle  
position when the camera is turned on.  
A zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor  
when the zoom control is rotated.  
Digital zoom, which allows you to further magnify the  
subject up to approximately 4× the maximum optical zoom  
ratio, can be activated by rotating and holding the zoom  
control to g when the camera is zoomed in to the maximum  
optical zoom position.

C Digital Zoom and Interpolation  
While using digital zoom, the image quality decreases due to  
interpolation when the zoom is increased beyond the V position.  
Since the position of V moves to the right as the size of an image  
decreases, selecting a smaller image size in the image mode setting  
Small image size  
(A63, E32) allows you to zoom in further without decreasing the image quality due to  
interpolation.

the frame glows green. See “AF Area” (A67) for more  
information.  
When digital zoom is used, the focus area is not displayed  
and the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the  
frame. Once focus is acquired, the focus indicator (A8)  
glows green.  
Focus area  
If the focus area or the focus indicator flashes red when the  
shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera is  
unable to focus. Modify the composition and press the  
shutter-release button halfway again.

A (Auto) Mode  
A (auto) mode is useful for general photography, and it allows you to customize a variety of  
settings to suit the shooting conditions and the type of shot you want to capture (A63).  
Enter shooting mode M A (shooting mode) button M A (auto) mode M k button  
You can change how the camera selects the area of the frame to focus on by setting AF  
area mode (A63). The default setting is Face priority.

camera focuses on the subject as follows:  
-
If the camera detects a human face, the camera automatically focuses on it (see “Face  
Detection” (A68) for more information).  
-
If no faces are detected, the camera automatically selects one or more of the nine focus  
areas containing the subject closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the  
focus area (active focus area) lights in green (maximum of nine areas).

Focusing  
This camera uses autofocus to focus automatically when shooting. The focus area varies  
depending on the shooting mode. Here, we will explain how to use focus areas and focus  
lock.  
AF Area  
When using A (auto) mode, or when using Scene auto selector for the scene mode, the  
camera performs the focus operations described below when the shutter-release button is  
pressed halfway.  
If a face is detected, it is framed by the double border  
indicating the active focus area. When the subject is in  
focus, the double border turns green.  
1/250  
F3.5  
If no faces are detected, the camera automatically selects  
one or more of the nine focus areas containing the subject  
closest to the camera. When the subject is in focus, the  
active focus areas (up to nine) glow green.

Face Detection  
When the camera is pointed at a human face in the shooting  
modes as shown below, the camera automatically detects the  
face and focuses on it. When the camera detects more than  
one face, the double border (focus area) is displayed around  
the face that is focused on, and single borders around the  
others.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
When using A (auto) mode, if you press the shutter-release button halfway while no  
faces are detected or while framing a shot with no faces in it, the camera selects the focus  
area (up to nine areas) containing the subject closest to the camera.  
When Scene auto selector is selected, the focus area changes depending on which  
scene the camera selects.  
If no faces are detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or  
Night portrait scene mode or smart portrait mode, the camera focuses on the subject at  
the center of the frame.  
In Pet portrait scene mode, the camera focuses on a pet face if one is detected. If no pet  
faces are detected, the camera focuses on the subject at the center of the frame.  
B Notes About Face Detection Function  
The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the direction in  
which the faces are looking. The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:  
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed  
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame  
When the frame includes more than one face, the faces detected by the camera and the face on  
which the camera focuses depend on a variety of factors, including the direction in which the  
faces are looking.  
In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows  
green (A71). Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode and set AF area mode to Manual or  
Center. Try refocusing on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the  
actual portrait subject (A70).

Focus Lock  
Use focus lock to focus on off-center subjects when center is selected for AF area mode. To  
focus on off-center subjects when Center is selected for AF area mode in the shooting  
menu (A63) in A (auto) mode, use focus lock as described below.

B Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus  
Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject  
may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows green:  
Subject is very dark  
Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun behind the subject  
makes that subject appear very dark)  
No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject wearing a white shirt is  
standing in front of a white wall)  
Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)  
Regular geometric patterns (e.g. window blinds or windows on a skyscraper)  
Subject is moving rapidly  
In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several  
times, or focus on another subject in auto mode and use focus lock (A70). When using focus lock,  
be sure that the distance between the camera and the subject with which focus was locked is the  
same as that for the actual subject.

Recording Movies  
You can record movies by simply pressing the b(emovie-record) button. The settings  
made for still images, such as hue and white balance, are applied when recording movies.  
The maximum file size for a single movie is 2 GB or the maximum movie length for a single  
movie is 29 minutes, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for  
longer recording (E64).  
When no memory card is inserted (when recording in the internal memory), Movie options  
(A94, E63) is set to g 480/30p by default. f 720/30p cannot be selected.

B Note About Recording Images and Saving Movies  
The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the maximum  
movie length flashes while images are being recorded or while a movie is being saved. Do not open  
the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an  
indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the  
memory card.  
B Recording Movies  
Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording  
movies (F22). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed  
Class ratings are used.  
When recording movies with f 720/30p selected for Movie options, the angle of view (the  
area captured in the recorded movie) is smaller than when taking still images.  
Optical zoom cannot be adjusted once movie recording begins.  
Rotate the zoom control during recording to enable digital zoom. Subjects can be magnified up to  
4× the optical zoom ratio applied before movie recording began.  
There is some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. When recording ends,  
digital zoom turns off.  
The sounds of zoom control operation, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration reduction, and  
aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.  
Smear (F3) visible in the monitor with movie recording will be recorded with movies. Avoiding  
bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when recording movies is  
recommended.  
When recording or playing back movies, colored stripes (interference patterns or moiré) may  
appear on subjects that have a regular, repeating grid, such as pattern of weave in clothing or  
windows in a building, depending on the shooting distance or zoom ratio. This phenomenon  
occurs when the subject’s pattern interferes with the camera sensor grid, and it does not indicate  
a malfunction.

B Note About Autofocus for Movie Recording  
When shooting a subject that is not suitable for autofocus (A71), the camera may not be able to  
focus properly on the subject. Follow the procedure below if you are trying to shoot this type of  
subject for movies.  
1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to A Single AF (default setting) before starting  
movie recording.  
2. Frame a different subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended  
subject) at the center of the frame, press the b(emovie-record) button to start recording, and  
modify the composition.  
B Notes About Camera Temperature  
The camera temperature may increase significantly when used for  
an extended period of time for movie recording, etc. or when  
10  
s
used in places with high ambient temperature.  
If the camera becomes extremely hot while recording a movie,  
the camera automatically terminates recording after ten seconds.  
The camera monitor displays the number of seconds (B10s)  
remaining until automatic termination is activated.  
15s  
After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off. Wait until the  
internal temperature decreases before using it again.

C Functions Available for Movie Recording  
The exposure compensation, white balance, and color options settings for the current shooting  
mode are also applied with movie recording. The tone that results from using scene mode (A40)  
or special effects mode (A47) is also applied to movies. When macro mode is enabled, movies of  
subjects close to the camera can be recorded. Confirm settings before starting movie recording.

White Balance (Adjusting Hue)  
Select A (auto) mode Mdbutton MWhite balance Mkbutton  
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human  
brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white  
objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent  
lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the  
color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural colors, choose a white  
balance setting that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting,  
Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, the white balance setting suited to a  
particular light source can be specified manually to achieve more accurate results.  
Option

Preset Manual  
The preset manual option is effective with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources  
with a strong color cast when the desired effect has not been achieved with white balance  
settings like Auto and Incandescent (for example, to make images taken under a lamp with  
a red shade look as though they had been shot under white light). Follow the procedure  
below to measure the white balance value according to the light source when shooting.

B Notes About Continuous Shooting  
When Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected, flash is disabled. Focus, exposure, and  
white balance are fixed at the values determined with the first image in each series.  
The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending on the current image mode setting,  
the memory card used, or shooting conditions.  
Some settings cannot be used with other functions (A65).  
B Note About BSS  
BSS is effective when taking images of still subjects. BSS may not produce the desired results if the  
subject moves or the composition changes while the shutter-release button is held down.  
B Note About Multi-shot 16  
Smear (F3) visible in the monitor when shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled will be recorded  
with images. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when  
shooting with Multi-shot 16 enabled is recommended.

ISO Sensitivity  
Select A (auto) mode Mdbutton MISO sensitivity Mkbutton  
The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing capturing  
darker subjects. Additionally, even with subjects of similar brightness, images can be taken at  
faster shutter speeds, and blurring caused by camera shake and subject movement can be  
reduced.  
Although higher ISO sensitivity is effective when shooting darker subjects, shooting without the  
flash, shooting while using the zoom, etc., images may contain noise.  
Option  
Description  
Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera  
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600 when  
lighting is dim.  
Auto (default setting)  
Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO  
sensitivity from ISO 80-400 (default setting) and ISO 80-800. The  
camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the maximum value in  
the selected range. Specify the maximum ISO sensitivity for  
effective control over the amount of “grain” that appears in images.  
Fixed range auto  
80, 100, 200, 400, 800,  
1600, 3200  
Sensitivity is locked at the specified value.  
The current setting can be confirmed in the monitor when shooting (A9).  
When Auto is selected, the E icon is not displayed at ISO 80, but is displayed if the ISO  
sensitivity automatically increases to more than 80.  
When Fixed range auto is selected, U and the maximum value of ISO sensitivity is  
displayed.

B Notes About Charging by Computer  
The battery cannot be charged, nor can data be transferred, when the camera is connected to a  
computer before the camera’s display language and date and time have been set (A20). If the  
camera’s clock battery (A22) has been exhausted, the date and time must be reset before the  
battery can be charged or images can be transferred via a computer connection. In this case, use  
the Charging AC Adapter EH-70P (A16) to charge the battery and then set the camera’s date and  
time.  
If the camera is turned off, charging stops.  
If a computer enters sleep mode while charging, charging stops and the camera may turn off.  
When disconnecting the camera from a computer, turn the camera off and then disconnect the  
USB cable.  
It takes about 3 hours to charge a fully exhausted battery. Charging time increases when images  
are transferred while the battery is charging.  
When the camera is connected to a computer, an application installed on the computer, such as  
Nikon Transfer 2, may start. If the camera was connected to the computer for the sole purpose of  
charging the battery, exit the application.  
The camera turns off automatically if there is no communication with the computer for 30 minutes  
after the battery has finished charging.  
Depending on the computer specifications, settings, and status, it may not be possible to charge  
the battery in the camera via computer connection.

Maximizing Camera Life and Performance  
The Camera  
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described  
below in addition to the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Aviii-x) when using or storing the  
device.  
B Keep Dry  
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.  
B Do Not Drop  
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.  
B Handle 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.  
B Do 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.  
B Keep 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.  
F2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
     
B Avoid 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.  
B Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source or  
Memory Card  
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.  
B Notes About the Monitor  
Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99%  
of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these  
displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is  
not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.  
White or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor. This  
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor; it is  
characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also take the form  
of partial discoloration in the monitor during shooting. It does not appear in images recorded with  
the camera except in the cases of movies and of images recorded with Multi-shot 16 selected for  
Continuous. When shooting in these modes, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such  
as the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.  
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.

The Battery  
Be sure to read and follow the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Aviii-x) before use.  
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 images 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 battery inserted into the COOLPIX S3500 using the Charging AC Adapter  
EH-70P or a computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or  
above 45°C (113°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 images 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 completely exhaust it  
before removing it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient  
temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold  
locations.  
Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not being used.  
When inserted, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become  
excessively drained and no longer 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 optional battery charger, put the battery in the  
included battery case and store it 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-EL19 battery.  
F4  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
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.  
Charging AC Adapter  
Be sure to read and follow the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Aviii-x) before use.  
The Charging AC Adapter EH-70P is for use only with compatible devices. Do not use with another  
make or model of device.  
The EH-70P is compatible with AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When using in other  
countries, use a plug adapter (available commercially) as necessary. For more information about  
plug adapters, consult your travel agency.  
Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than Charging  
AC Adapter EH-70P or USB-AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in  
overheating or in damage to the camera.  
Memory Cards  
Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See “Approved Memory Cards” (F22) for more  
information about memory cards.  
Be sure to follow the precautions described in the documentation included with the memory card.  
Do not put labels or stickers on memory cards.  
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, be  
sure to format it with this camera. We recommend formatting new memory cards with this camera  
before using them with this camera.  
Note that formatting permanently deletes all images and other data on the memory card. Be  
sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep before formatting the memory card.  
If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when the camera is turned on,  
the memory card must be formatted. If there is data that you do not want to delete, select No.  
Copy the necessary date to a computer, etc. If you want to format the card, select Yes. The  
confirmation dialog will be displayed. To start formatting, press the kbutton.  
Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to or deleted from the  
memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure to observe this precaution could result  
in the loss of data or in damage to the camera or memory card:  
- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the battery or memory card.  
- Turn off the camera.  
- Disconnect the AC adapter.  
Do not format the memory card using a computer.
