En Addenda to the Nikon Guide to Digital Photography with the COOLPIX5000
Please note the following changes to the Nikon Guide to Digital Photography with the COOLPIX5000 with the release of version 1.7 of the camera rmware:

Nikon View (pp. 179188)

After completing the rmware update, you will need to upgrade to Nikon View 5 version 5.1.2 or later, which is available for download from the following web sites: For users in the U.S.A.: http://www.nikontechusa.com/ For users in Europe: http://www.nikon-euro.com/ For users in Asia, Oceania, the Middle East, and Africa: http://www.nikon-asia.com/ Please note that the Windows version of Nikon View 5 is only supported under pre-installed versions of Windows 98 Second Edition (SE) or later, including Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, Windows 2000 Professional, and Windows Millennium Edition (Me). It is not supported under Windows 98. The Macintosh version is supported under Mac OS 9.0, 9.1, and 9.2 and under Mac OS X version 10.1.2 or later. It is not supported under Mac OS 8.
Support for RAW (NEF) Image Quality (pp. 7273)
When image size is set to FULL, you can now select an image quality of RAW by pressing the button until RAW is displayed in the monitor and the HI icon in the control panel ashes. At this setting, data from the CCD are stored on the memory card without modication or compression, producing photographs that show a level image quality comparable to HI while requiring only about half as much memory to store. RAW images can only be viewed or printed in Nikon Capture 3 (available separately) or Nikon View 5. In both these applications, RAW images can be modied and saved to disk without reducing image quality. Nikon View 5 supports limited white balance adjustment, while Nikon Capture 3 can be used for more extensive editing. An image quality setting of RAW is not available when Black&White is selected for SATURATION CONTROL (see pg. 115 of the Nikon Guide to Digital Photography with the COOLPIX5000). Black&White is not available when image quality is set to RAW. To convert a RAW image to TIFF (HI-quality) format so that it can be opened in applications that do not support RAW, display the picture in single-image playback (pp. 158159). CONVERT will be displayed in the monitor next to the button. Pressing this button will display the conrmation dialog shown at right; choose YES to create a copy of the image in TIFF format. You will then be given the option of deleting the original RAW image. Choose YES to delete the original RAW image and keep only the high-quality copy, or NO to keep both the copy and the original. The copy will be stored on the memory card under a new name assigned automatically by the camera and ending in the extension.TIF. Note that you will require at least 15MB of free space on the camera memory card to create a copy in TIFF format. A minimum of 128MB of computer memory (RAM) is recommended when displaying RAW images in Nikon View 5 (pg. 204).
Shutter Release Speed (pp. 28, 146147)
The Monitor Options item in the setup menu now contains a Shutter Release Speed setting that controls the speed of shutter response when the view through the lens is displayed in the monitor. The following options are available:
Option Normal Description Priority given to quality of preview displayed in monitor. Reduces lag between pressing shutter-release button all the way down and shutter being released to take picture.* Horizontal lines may appear when view through lens is previewed in monitor.
* If the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down to take a picture during picture review (pg. 55), the focus and exposure settings used in the previous shot will apply to the new photo. To ensure a quick response, the built-in Speedlight will not re.

Quick Response

Options for External Speedlights (pp. 29, 152)
The Speedlight Cntrl menu (pg. 152) now contains an Int Flash Off option that allows you to turn the built-in Speedlight off entirely. Optional grip-type ash accessories such as the SB-11 and SB-14 can be used when connected via the optional AS-15 accessory shoe adapter. The ash mode for the ash accessory is set by pressing the button (pg. 82), and the ash mode is displayed in the control panel and monitor. The monitor shows in all modes to indicate that light from the built-in Speedlight will not affect the outcome of the photograph.

Support for Exif 2.2 (pp. 174175)
The COOLPIX5000 now supports Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format for Digital Still Cameras) version 2.2, a standard that allows information stored with photographs to be used for optimal color reproduction when images are output on Exif-compliant printers. PRINT Image Matching (PIM) is no longer supported.
Support for Picture Transfer Protocol (pp. 29, 136, 182186)
In User Sets 1, 2, and 3, the setup menu (pp. 29, 136) now offers an Interface option containing Video Mode and USB settings. The former is identical to the existing Video Mode option (pg. 155) that allows you to choose the video mode used when connecting the camera to a television (pg. 178). The USB option species the USB protocol used when the camera is connected to a computer (pp. 182186). Two protocols are available: Mass Storage and PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol). Choose Mass Storage when connecting the camera to a computer running Windows 2000 Professional, Windows Millennium Edition (Me), Windows 98 Second Edition (SE), or Mac OS 9.0. 9.1, or 9.2. When connecting the camera to a computer running Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional, or Mac OS X (version 10.1.2 or later), you can choose either Mass Storage or PTP.
Transferring Pictures Using Nikon View 5 (pp. 182186)
When you connect the camera to a computer using the UC-E1 USB cable and turn the camera on, Nikon View 5 will start automatically and the Nikon Transfer window will be displayed in the computer monitor. When transfer is complete, the transferred images will be displayed in Nikon Browser. If PTP is selected in the Interface > USB menu, you can now turn the camera off and disconnect the cable after verifying that image transfer is complete.

Erratum

The note Faster Shutter Speeds on page 92 of the Nikon Guide to Digital Photography with the COOLPIX5000 states that the largest aperture setting (smallest f/-number) should be selected for faster shutter speeds. This is incorrect. To achieve a shutter speed of 1/4000 s, choose aperture-priority auto exposure mode, zoom the camera all the way out, and select an aperture of f/8.0. Choosing a larger aperture (smaller f/-number) will result in slower shutter speeds.
