B Note on 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 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 active focus area or the focus indicator lights in green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun is 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)
• Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of similarly shaped
windows, etc.)
• 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 positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual

• When using Face priority, 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 automatically selects the focus
areas (up to nine) that contain the subject closest to the camera.
• When x(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 will focus on the subject at the center of
the frame.
B Notes on Face Detection
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the
subject is facing the camera. Additionally, 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 upon a variety of factors, including the direction in which the
subject is facing.
C Viewing Pictures Taken Using Face Detection

Using 3D Photography
B Taking 3D Pictures
• Moving subjects are not suited to 3D photography. We recommend shooting still subjects.
• Pictures have a less pronounced 3D feel as the distance between the camera and background is
increased.
• Pictures may have a less pronounced 3D feel when the subject is dark or when the second picture
is not aligned precisely.
• Be careful of camera shake when shooting at the telephoto zoom position.
• You cannot set the telephoto zoom position beyond 124 mm (angle of view equivalent to 35mm
[135] format).
• The angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) seen in the saved picture will be narrower than
that seen on the monitor at the time of shooting.
• Pictures taken under dim lighting may appear grainy with noise.
• If the camera does not take the second picture and cancels the shooting even when you align the
guide with the subject, try shooting with the shutter-release button.
B Notes on Viewing 3D Pictures
• 3D pictures cannot be played back in 3D on the camera monitor.
• When viewing 3D pictures on a 3D-compatible TV or monitor for an extended period of time, you
may experience discomfort such as eye strain or nausea. Carefully read the documentation
included with your TV or monitor to ensure proper use.

White Balance (Adjusting Hue)
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 or fluorescent lighting. Digital cameras
can mimic this adjustment of the human eye by processing images according to
the color of the light source. This is known as "white balance."
Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, you
can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve
more accurate results.

Technical Notes and Index
Caring for the Products
The Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when using or storing the device.
thoroughly before using the products.
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 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 saved on the memory card,
or affect the product’s internal circuitry.
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 the Memory Card
Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted.
Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product
memory or internal circuitry.
F2
Caring for the Products
B Notes on 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.
• Images on 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
•
thoroughly before using the 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 the battery temperature is between 45°C and 60°C (113°F and 140°F), the
chargeable capacity may decrease.
•
•
•
•
•
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.
•
•
F3
Caring for the Products
•
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°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 battery charger 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. When the battery level is
low, be sure to charge the battery before using it.
•
•
•
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 battery charger, attach the
included terminal cover to the battery 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-EL12 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.
Charging AC Adapter
•
•
•
thoroughly before using the Charging AC Adapter.
The Charging AC Adapter EH-69P is for use only with compatible devices. Do
not use with another make or model of device.
The EH-69P is compatible with AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When
using in other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) 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-69P or USB-AC adapter. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
F4
Caring for the Products
The Memory Cards
•
•
Be sure to observe the precautions in the memory card documentation when
you use the memory card.
•
•
•
Do not affix labels or stickers to the memory card.
Do not format the memory card using a computer.
When a memory card that has been used in another device is used for the first
time, be sure to format it with this camera.
When a new memory card is used, it is recommended to format it with this
camera first.
•
•
Formatting permanently deletes all data in the memory card. Be sure to transfer
important pictures to a computer before formatting.
If the error message “Card is not formatted. Format card?” is displayed when you
insert a memory card into this camera, the memory card must be formatted. If
the memory card contains images you wish to keep, select No and save those
images on your computer before formatting the memory card. To format the
card, select Yes and 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 loss of data or damage to the
memory card:
-
Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove the battery or
memory card.
-
-
Turn off the camera
Disconnect the AC adapter

Caring for the Camera
Cleaning
Avoid 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,
oily substances, or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, carefully
wipe the lens with a dry soft cloth or eyewear cleaning cloth, using a spiral
motion that starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges. Do
not wipe the lens forcibly or with a hard material. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in damage or trouble. If this fails, clean the lens using a
cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.
