Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or builtin 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 users 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, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for the welcome screen (A 103). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices. If you are using the COOLPIX S610c, reset the wireless LAN settings stored in the camera. For more information, see page 23 and 37 of the Wireless LAN Connection Guide.

If no operations are performed for about five seconds in shooting mode, the monitor will dim to save power. Using any of the camera controls will reactivate the display. If no operations are performed for about a minute (default setting), the monitor will turn off automatically and the camera will enter standby mode. If no operations are performed for another three minutes, the camera will turn off automatically (the auto off function). If the monitor is off in standby mode, press the power switch or the shutter-release button to reactivate it. The time allowed to elapse before the camera enters standby mode can be changed from the Auto off option (A 112) in the setup menu (A 112).

Flickers (orange)

The Flash Lamp

The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shutterrelease button is pressed halfway. On: Flash will fire when picture is taken. Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try again. Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken. If the battery is low, the monitor display will turn off, and remain off, until the flash is fully charged.

The Flash Mode Setting

The default flash mode setting varies with shooting mode. A (auto) mode: U Auto C (scene): varies with the selected scene mode (A 36) x (scene auto selector): U Auto. The camera selects the flash mode depending upon the selected scene mode it has automatically selected (A 45). s (active child): W Off a (smile): U Auto The flash mode setting applied in A (auto) mode is stored in the cameras memory even after the camera is turned off, and reapplied the next time A (auto) mode is selected.

Red-Eye Reduction

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (In-Camera Red-Eye Fix). The flash fires repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing red-eye. The camera then analyzes the picture; if redeye is detected, the affected area will be processed to further reduce red-eye before the picture is saved. Note that because there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and the picture being shot, this mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required. The time before the next picture can be shot also increases slightly. Advanced red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations. In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye reduction processing; in these cases, choose another mode and try again.

B 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, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.
a Auto (default setting) White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations. b Preset manual Neutral-colored object used as reference to set white balance under unusual lighting conditions, see Preset Manual (A 86) for details. c d e f g Daylight White balance adjusted for direct sunlight. Incandescent Use under incandescent lighting. Fluorescent Use under most types of fluorescent lighting. Cloudy Use when shooting under overcast skies. Flash Use with the flash.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings other than Auto, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A 6).

Flash Mode

At white-balance settings other than Auto or Flash, turn the flash off (W) (A 30).

Preset Manual

Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light).
Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting. Use the rotary multi selector to choose bPreset manual in the white balance menu, and press the k button.

The face-priority function is activated when Face priority is selected for AF area mode (A 90), when shooting in Portrait (A 36) or Night portrait (A 37) scene mode, when shooting in scene auto selector mode (A 45), or when shooting in smile mode (A 49). The camera automatically detects and focuses on a face looking toward the camera.

Frame a picture.

When the camera detects a face looking toward the camera, that face will be framed by a yellow double border.
When the camera detects more than one face, operation varies, depending upon the shooting mode, as follows. Shooting mode A (auto) mode (Face priority) Scene mode: Portrait, Night portrait Smile mode Faces framed by a double border The face closest to the camera * The other faces are framed by a single border. The face closest to the center of the frame * The other faces are framed by a single border. The number of faces to be recognized

Up to 12

Up to 3
The camera focuses on the face framed by the double border. The double border will glow green and focus will be locked. When the camera is unable to focus, the double border will blink. Press the shutter-release button halfway again and focus. 1/250 F2.7 Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture. You dont need to press the shutter-release button halfway in smile mode. If the camera detects the smiling face, the shutter is automatically released (A 49).

Notes on Face Priority

When Face priority is selected for AF area mode, the setting will automatically switch to Auto if no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. If no face is detected when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway in Portrait or Night portrait scene mode, or smile mode, the camera will focus on the subject in the center focus area. The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations: - When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions - When faces take up too much or too little of the frame - When the subject is not looking directly at the camera The cameras ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the subject is facing the camera. In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected (A 27), the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode and set AF area mode to Manual or Center, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock (A 91). When pictures in which a face was detected during shooting are played back, the pictures will be automatically rotated for playback display, according to the orientation of the face detected.
