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.
D The Battery Charger Read and follow the warnings on pages iiiii of this manual. Use with compatible batteries only.

Inserting the Battery

After charging the battery, insert it as described below.
Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover
Insert the battery Insert the battery in the orientation shown in the label inside the battery chamber. The orange battery latch is pushed aside as the battery is inserted. The battery is fully inserted when the latch clicks back into place.

Battery latch

D Inserting the Battery Inserting the battery upside down or backwards could damage the camera. Check to be sure the battery is in the correct orientation.
Close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover

D Batteries

Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages iiiii and 95 of this manual. The camera can be used with EN-EL5 batteries only; do not, under any circumstances, attempt to use other types. If desired, the optional EH-62A AC adapter kit can be used to power the camera for extended periods (B 90). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

Removing the Battery

Turn the camera off before removing or inserting batteries. To eject the battery, open the batterychamber/memory card slot cover and slide the battery latch in the direction shown. The battery can then be removed by hand. Note that the battery may become hot during use; observe due caution when removing the battery.
Turning the Camera on and Off
To turn the camera on, press the power switch. The green power-on lamp lights and the monitor turns on. To turn the camera off, press the power switch again. Press and hold the G button to turn the camera on in playback mode (B 22).

Basic Setup

C Copies

Copies are independent of the originals: deleting the copy has no effect on the original, deleting the original no effect on the copy. Copies are created with the same transfer marking and date and time of recording as the original, but any subsequent changes to transfer marking or to protect and print attributes must be made separately. Copies can not be created from pictures with a size of 3,648 2,432 (h) or 3,584 2,016 (9). The camera may be unable to make copies of pictures that were created with other types of camera or that have been modified on a computer. Copies may not display or transfer correctly when viewed on other types of camera. The crop and small picture options can not be used with copies created with crop or small picture; D-Lighting is not available with copies created with crop, D-Lighting, or small picture. D-Lighting can be applied before using crop or small picture to create additional copies; note, however, that each option can only be applied once. See the Appendix for information on how copies are stored (B 106).
Creating a Cropped Copy If a y icon is displayed in the monitor during playback zoom (B 43), the portion of the picture currently visible in the monitor can be saved to a separate file. Pressing the F button displays the dialog shown at right; highlight Yes and press B to create a new picture containing only the area visible in the monitor.
Save this image as displayed?
Cropped copies are stored as JPEG files with a compression ratio of 1:8. Depending on the size of the original and the zoom ratio at the time the copy was created, copies will be 2,5921,944 (f ), 2,2721,704 (Z), 2,0481,536 (g), 1,6001,200 (e), 1,280960 (d), 1,024768 (i), 640480 (k), 320240 (u), or 160120 (t) pixels in size. Sizes of 320240 and 160120 are indicated by a gray border during playback. Creating Small Copies: Small Pic. To create small copy of the picture currently selected in full-frame or thumbnail playback, press the F button and select Small pic. from the playback menu (B 80). The following options will be displayed; highlight a size and press B.

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 batteries, and then turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon 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. Technical Notes
If the camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative. Refer to the page numbers in the right-most column for more information. Display and Setup
