cess the image to further its e ects (In-Camera Red-eye Fix; note that this may slightly increase the time needed to record the picture). This mode is not recommended where a quick shutter response is required; if the desired results are not achieved, try again at a di erent ash setting. 84) and can also be turned o manually (

78 89). T h e S h o o t i n g M e n u Best Shot Selector (BSS) BSS is recommended for situations in which inadvertent camera movement can produce blurred pictures, or when parts of the image are prone to under- or over-

exposure. It may not produce the desired results if the subject moves or the com-

position is changed while the shutter-release button is fully pressed. Option O On Exposure BSS Description BSS o . Camera takes shots while shutter-release button is pressed, to a maximum of ten. These images are then compared and sharpest picture (picture with highest level of detail) is saved. Flash turns o automatically and focus, exposure, and white balance for all photos are determined by rst picture in each series. Selecting this option displays sub-menu shown at right. Choose from:

Highlight BSS: picture with smallest area of over-

exposure is selected. Shadow BSS: picture with smallest area of un-

derexposure is selected. Histogram BSS: of pictures with least under- and over-exposure, cam-

era chooses picture with overall exposure closest to optimum. Camera takes ve shots each time shutter-release button is pressed, but only picture that best meets selected criterion is saved. Flash turns o automatically and focus and white balance for all photos are determined by rst picture in each series. Recommended for high-contrast subjects, when it is di cult to set exposure correctly. At settings other than O , the current BSS setting appears in the display (

67). ISO Sensitivity ISO sensitivity is a measure of how quickly the camera reacts to light. The higher the sensitivity, the less light needed to make an exposure. Much as lm with a high ISO rating tends to produce grainy images, high sensitivities may however be as-

sociated with noiserandomly spaced, brightly colored pixels concentrated in dark parts of the image. Choose from values between ISO 50 and 400 equivalent. Auto is equivalent to ISO 50 under normal conditions; when lighting is poor and the ash is o , the camera compensates by raising ISO sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 200 equivalent. The current ISO sensitivity is displayed in the monitor at settings other than Auto 67). If Auto is selected, an ISO icon will be displayed when sensitivity is raised

above ISO 50 equivalent. 79 T h e S h o o t i n g M e n u Color Options Make colors more vivid or record pictures in monochrome. Option Description Standard color Natural color.

T e c h n i c a l N o t e s 91 Caring for the Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following pre-

cautions when storing or using the device. lens, Handle the lens and all moving parts with care The monitor, and battery-chamber/

memory card slot and lens covers are easily damaged. Do not use force. Force applied to the lens cover could cause malfunction or damage the lens. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth. Do not point the lens at strong light sources for ex-

tended periods Avoid framing the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration in the image sensor, producing a white blur e ect in photographs. Turn the product o before removing or disconnect-

ing the power source Do not unplug the product or remove the battery while the product is on, or while im-

ages are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption of power, do not move the product while the AC adapt-

er is connected. Keep dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high levels of moisture. Notes on the Monitor Do not drop The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration. Keep away from strong magnetic elds Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electro-

magnetic radiation or magnetic elds. Strong static charges or the magnetic elds pro-

duced by equipment such as radio transmit-

ters could interfere with the monitor, damage data stored on the memory card, or a ect the products internal circuitry. Avoid sudden changes in temperature Sudden changes in temperature, such as oc-

cur when entering or leaving a heated build-

ing on a cold day, can cause condensation 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. The AF-Assist Illuminator LED The light-emitting diode (LED;

2, 21) used in the AF-assist illuminator conforms to the following IEC standard:

CLASS 1 LED PRODUCT IEC60825-1 Edition 1.2-2001 The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a char-

acteristic common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded using the product will not be a ected. When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as smear, does not appear in the nal photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies. Images in the monitor may be di cult to see in a bright light. The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or icker, contact your Nikon service representative. 92 T e c h n i c a l N o t e s Cleaning Lens Avoid touching glass parts with your ngers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typi-

cally a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to pro-

duce a stream of air out the other). To remove ngerprints or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner. Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove ngerprints and other stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure. 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 seaside, wipe o any sand or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered under warranty. Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals. Batteries Check the battery level when taking the camera out and charge the battery if necessary

11). Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in reduced battery performance. If 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). During charging, the tem per a ture should be in the vi cin i ty of 535 C (4195 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. When the battery is not in use, remove it from the camera or battery charger and replace the terminal cover. The camera and battery charger draw minute amounts of current even when o ; if left in place, the battery could be drained to the point that it no longer functions. Turning the camera on or o while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life. If the battery will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool (15 C25 C / 59 F 77 F), dry place. Recharge it at least once a year and run it at before returning it to stor-

age. Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable re-

source. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations. T e c h n i c a l N o t e s 93 Storage Turn the camera o when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is o before putting the camera away and remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period. Do not store the camera with naptha or camphor moth balls or in locations that:

are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic elds, such as tele-

visions or radios are exposed to temperatures below 10 C (14 F) or above 50 C (122 F) are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities 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.

DPOF: Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) is an industry-wide standard that allows pictures to be printed from print orders stored on the memory card. Exif version 2.2: This camera supports Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format for Digital Still Cameras) ver sion 2.2, a stan dard that al lows in for ma tion stored with pho to graphs to be used for optimal color re pro duc tion when im ag es are output on Exif-compliant print ers. PictBridge: A standard developed by in cooperation with the digital camera and printer industries, allowing photographs to be output directly to a printer without connecting the camera to a computer. ImageLink: The ImageLink standard allows pictures taken with a digital camera to be print-
