First Steps

Charging the Battery
The camera uses a rechargeable EN-EL5 Li-ion battery (supplied). Charge the battery with the supplied MH-61 battery charger before first use or when the battery is running low.
Plug the charger in Connect the power cable to the charger ( ) and then plug it into a power outlet ( ). The CHARGE lamp will light ( ). Insert the battery Remove the battery terminal cover and insert the battery as shown, matching the projections on the battery to the indentations in the charger. Charge the battery The CHARGE lamp will blink as the battery recharges. (If the lamp flickers rapidly, either the temperature is not in the range of 535C/41 95F supported by the charger or the battery is faulty. If the battery is faulty, unplug the charger immediately and bring the battery and charger to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection.) A fully-exhausted battery will charge in about two hours. Charging is complete when the CHARGE lamp stops blinking. Remove the battery and unplug the charger.

Basic Photography and Playback

U Mode

This section describes how to take pictures in U (auto) mode, an automatic, point-and-shoot mode recommended for first-time users of digital cameras.
Select U mode Rotate the mode dial to U. Turn the camera on 2.1 Turn the camera on Press the power switch to turn the camera on. The green power-on lamp lights, the monitor turns on, and the lens extends. 2.2 Check indicators in the monitor Check the battery level and number of exposures remaining.
Battery indicator NO ICON Battery fully charged. Low battery; prepare to recharge or J change battery. N Warning! Battery exhausted. Recharge or change Battery exhausted. battery.
Number of exposures remaining * * Depends on capacity of internal memory or memory card (B 14) and on options chosen for image quality (B 66) and size (B 66).
C Auto Power off (Stand-by Mode)
In shooting mode, the monitor will dim to reduce the drain on the battery if no operations are performed for about five seconds. The monitor will brighten when camera controls are used. At default settings, the monitor will turn off altogether if no operations are performed for about a minute during shooting and playback (stand-by mode; B 88). While the camera is in stand-by mode, the power-on lamp will blink and the monitor can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. The camera will turn off automatically if no operations are performed for another three minutes.
In U (auto) mode, the following indicators are also displayed.
Internal memory indicator: If q is displayed, pictures will be recorded to internal memory. If memory card is inserted, q icon is no longer displayed and pictures are recorded to memory card.
Shooting mode: 0 is displayed in U (auto) mode.
Image quality and size: Choose image quality (B 66) and size (B 66) according to how picture will be used. Default settings are normal image quality (NORM) with an image size of 3,6482,736 (j).

2 is displayed when interpolation is in effect. Using digital zoom at sizes of 3,648 2,736 (j), 3,6482,432 (h), or 3,5842,016 (9) always triggers interpolation.
Focus and shoot 4.1 Focus Lightly press the shutter-release button about halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. In U mode, the camera automatically sets focus and exposure for the subject in the center focus area. If the camera is able to focus, the focus indicator and focus area will be displayed in green, and the green AF lamp next to the viewfinder will light. Proceed to Step 4.2. If the camera is unable to focus, the focus indicator and focus area blink red, and the green AF lamp next to the viewfinder will flicker. Change the composition and try again.
The focus area is not displayed when digital zoom is in effect.
C Getting Good Results with Autofocus
Autofocus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and the background and the subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the subject is very dark or moving rapidly, if there are objects of sharply differing brightness in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind the subject and their features are in deep shadow), or if the focus area contains objects at different distances from the camera (e.g., the subject is inside a cage). If the camera is unable to focus using autofocus, change the composition, press the shutter-release button halfway several times to refocus, or use focus lock (B 77) to focus on another subject at the same distance and then recompose the photograph.
4.2 Take the picture Gently press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture (moving the camera while pressing the shutter-release button can result in blurred pictures). The AF-assist illuminator may light or the flash may fire if the subject is poorly lit (B 2425).

D During Recording

While pictures are being recorded, a Q or q icon will blink in the monitor and a o (wait) icon may be displayed. Opening the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or removing memory cards or batteries while the Q or q icon is blinking or the o icon is displayed could affect pictures or damage the camera or card.
C The Shutter-Release Button
To set focus and exposure, press the shutter-release button about halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Focus and exposure lock while the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and take a picture, press the shutterrelease button down the rest of the way. Use a gentle touch; moving the camera while pressing the shutter-release button can result in blurred pictures.
