EISO Sensitivity

A(auto) MTap the bottom tab MEISO sensitivity

Raising the ISO sensitivity reduces the amount of light needed to make an exposure, allowing pictures to be taken in low light conditions. A higher sensitivity also allows for faster shutter speeds, reducing blur caused by subject movement or camera shake.

???High ISO sensitivity settings are useful when taking pictures in dim lighting, when shooting without a flash, or when using the telephoto setting, but they may also produce ???noise??? -- randomly spaced, brightly colored pixels -- in the dark areas of images.

sAuto (default setting)

Sensitivity is ISO 80 when there is sufficient lighting; the camera compensates by raising sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 800 when lighting is poor.

Fixed range auto

Choose the range in which the camera automatically adjusts ISO sensitivity, from ISO 80-200 or ISO 80-400. The camera will not raise sensitivity beyond the maximum value in the selected range. Set the maximum value for ISO sensitivity for effective control over the amount of ???grain??? that appears in images.

wWhite Balance (Adjusting Hue)

A(auto) MTap the bottom tab Mw 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 coloration, 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.

sAuto (default setting)

White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations.

B Recording Movies

???Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when recording movies (A170). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class ratings are used.

???The camera focuses when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, and the focus remains locked while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Focus is locked while recording.

???Digital zoom deteriorates picture quality. When recording movies, the digital zoom can magnify the image up to 2?? the maximum optical zoom ratio.

???In some cases, movie recordings may capture the sounds of the camera, such as the sound of the lens movement when zooming, the vibration reduction function, or the aperture control when the brightness changes.

???Smear (A 168) 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 moir??) may appear on subjects that have a regular, repeating grid, such as pattern of weave in cloths 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 on Saving Movies

After a movie has been recorded, it is not fully saved to the internal memory or memory card until monitor display returns to the shooting display. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover before movies have been fully saved. Removing the memory card while movies are being saved could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.

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, 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.

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.

Camera the for Caring

Cleaning

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 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.

C Notes 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
