Step 2 Frame a Picture
1
Ready the camera.
Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your
fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash, AF-
assist illuminator, built-in microphone, and speaker.
When taking pictures in portrait (“tall”) orientation, turn
the camera so that the built-in flash is above the lens.
2
Frame the picture.
A face detected by the camera will be framed by a yellow
double border (focus area).
Up to 12 faces can be detected. If more than one face is
detected, the face closest to the camera will be framed by
a double border, and the others by a single border.
3
When taking pictures of subjects other than people, or
framing a subject with which no face is detected, a focus area will not be displayed.
Frame the picture so that the intended subject is at or near the center of the frame.
28
Step 2 Frame a Picture
Using the Zoom
Rotate the zoom control to activate optical zoom. To
zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of the
frame, rotate to g. To zoom out so that the area visible
in the frame increases, rotate to f.

C Digital Zoom and Interpolation
Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom uses a digital imaging process known as interpolation to magnify
digital zoom magnification.
Interpolation is applied at zoom positions beyond V when taking still pictures. When zoom is
increased beyond the V position, interpolation is initiated and the zoom indicator turns yellow to
indicate that interpolation is being applied. The position of V moves to the right as image size
decreases, allowing for confirmation of the zoom positions at which shooting without interpolation
is possible at the current image mode setting.

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 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 blind or windows in a skyscraper)
• Subject is moving rapidly
In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several

E ISO Sensitivity
A (auto) M Tap the bottom tab M E ISO sensitivity
The higher the sensitivity, the less light is needed to expose an image, allowing
capturing darker subjects.
Also, a higher sensitivity allows higher shutter speeds, resulting in the picture with
less camera shake and subject blur in comparison to the same subject taken under
the same brightness.
• Although high ISO sensitivity settings are suited to pictures of subjects taken
under dim lighting, those taken without flash, or those taken at telephoto
setting, high sensitivity settings are often associated with “noise”- randomly
spaced, brightly colored pixels- concentrated in dark portions of images.

Auto (default setting)
Sensitivity is ISO 80 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor, the camera
compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 1600.

Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from
ISO 80-400 or ISO 80-800. The camera will not increase sensitivity beyond the

BSS (Best Shot Selector)
The “best shot selector” is recommended when shooting with the flash off or the
camera zoomed in, or in other situations in which inadvertent motion can result in
blurred pictures. When BSS is on, the camera takes up to ten pictures while the
shutter-release button is held down. The sharpest picture in the series is
automatically selected and saved.
Multi-shot 16
Each time the shutter-release button is pressed, the camera
takes 16 shots at a rate of about 30 fps and arranges them in a
single image.
Pictures are recorded at an image mode setting of L (image

B Notes on Continuous Shooting
• When Continuous, BSS, or Multi-shot 16 is selected, the flash is disabled. Focus, exposure, and

• The frame rate with continuous shooting may vary depending upon the current image mode
setting, the memory card used, or shooting condition.

A (auto) M Tap the bottom tab M w White balance
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.

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.
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.
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
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.
169
Maximizing Camera Life and Performance
C 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). Failure to
observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance.
• When charging the battery inserted into the COOLPIX S4100 using the Charging AC adapter
EH-69P 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 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°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 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 optional battery charger, return the battery to the
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-EL19 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.

Maximizing Camera Life and Performance
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
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.
Lens
Remove 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.
Monitor
Body
Use 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.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage
Turn 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 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)
• 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.
C Notes 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.
• 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.

Troubleshooting
Electronically Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the
camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a
strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery,
then turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact
your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative. Note that disconnecting
the power source as described above may result in the loss of any data not
recorded to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem
occurred. Data already recorded will not be affected.
