First Steps : Putting Batteries in Your Camera

Turning the Camera On

To turn the camera on, slide the ON/OFF switch down and then release it.
After being turned on, the camera performs a brief initial check of its internal systems and power supply. Once this check is complete, the control panel display will show the camera's current settings. The camera is now ready to take pictures. Note: To increase the life of the batteries, the camera will automatically enter sleep mode if no operations are performed for sixteen seconds. In sleep mode only the battery level and date/time are displayed in the control panel. If no operations are performed for a further two minutes, the camera will turn itself off automatically. When in sleep mode, the camera can be reactivated by pressing the shutter release button down half way. To turn the camera off, slide and release the ON/OFF switch as shown above.

First Steps : Turning the Camera On

Checking Battery Level

After inserting batteries and turning the camera on, check the battery level indicator to determine whether the batteries need to be replaced.

Battery level normal

Low battery - replace batteries as soon as possible
Battery level critical - replace batteries before use
If nothing at all is showing in the control panel display, either the batteries are not correctly installed or the batteries are dead. Check to see that the batteries are correctly installed and that the battery unit is properly connected to the camera. If this does not solve the problem, insert new batteries and check the battery level as shown above. Note: When battery level is low, the camera may not be able to record pictures under some settings. If there is not enough power to charge the flash, the flash will automatically be set to Off. Note: Images stored in the camera's memory will remain even if the batteries are removed. To erase photographs from memory, follow the steps described in Deleting Pictures from Memory.
First Steps : Checking the Battery Level
Setting the Time and Date
The COOLPIX 100 records the year, month, day, hour and minute of exposure in the file information header of every image taken. The camera's internal clock-calendar can be adjusted from the control panel display, which can be set to show either the date or the time. To change the date/time display, turn the camera on while pressing the QUALITY button. Once the camera has finished its initial check, the date/time and battery level will be displayed. Press the QUALITY button until the date/time display stops flashing. The style of the date/time display can then be changed by pressing the MODE button.

Taking Your First Photograph
Nikons COOLPIX 100 digital camera is extremely easy to operate. This section gives a brief outline of how to take a photograph after the camera is turned on. For more detailed information on camera settings, refer to the following chapter, Beyond the Basics. Step 1 - Turn the power on
Note: To increase the life of the batteries, the camera will automatically enter sleep mode if no operations are performed for sixteen seconds. If no operations are performed for a further two minutes, the camera will turn itself off automatically. Step 2 - Check the number of exposures remaining The control panel display shows the number of photographs that may be taken at the current quality setting.
First Steps : Taking Your First Photograph
When this number reaches zero, you will need to transfer the stored image data to a computer and reset the camera's memory before you will be able to take more pictures. Refer to Connecting Your Camera to a Computer and Deleting Pictures from Memory in Beyond the Basics. Step 3 - Check the cameras settings Check to see that the camera settings are appropriate to your subject and lighting conditions. For more information on the settings available with COOLPIX 100, refer to Using the Flash, Image Quality, and Macro close-up.
Step 4 - Ready the camera Hold the camera as shown below. Be sure not to obstruct the lens or flash window.
Step 5 - Compose a photograph Frame your subject in the viewfinder.
Note: COOLPIX 100 uses a parallax viewfinder with a field of view which is more than 80% of that of the lens. The viewfinder will therefore show an area slightly smaller than that which will appear in the actual photograph. At distances of between 14 and 23 cm (5.5 9), objects centered in viewfinder will appear off-center in the actual photograph. Use the macro close-up field of view when composing photographs at close range. Step 6 - Half-press the shutter release button

Press the shutter release button down half-way. The shutter release lamp will glow steadily once the camera has adjusted its auto exposure settings and charged the flash.
Note: When the camera is set to macro close-up, the shutter release lamp will blink when the shutter release button is half-pressed. Be sure to set the camera to normal mode when taking photographs at ranges greater than 23 cm (9). See Macro Close-Up for further details. Step 7 - Full-press the shutter release button When the camera is ready, the shutter release lamp will glow steadily. You can now take a picture by pressing the shutter release button down fully.
Once you have pressed the shutter release button, the shutter release lamp and exposure count indicator blink while the camera records the picture. When the camera has finished transferring the picture to memory, the shutter release lamp will go off and the exposure count in the control panel display will go down by one.
Release the shutter release button. The camera is now ready to take another picture.

Beyond the Basics

This chapter describes how to use the built-in flash, change the cameras settings, connect your camera to a computer, and delete pictures from the cameras memory.

Using the Flash

The built-in flash has three settings: Auto, On, and Off. The cameras current flash setting is displayed in the control display panel.
When the flash is set to Auto, the camera's internal auto exposure circuitry will automatically activate the flash when lighting is poor. This setting is the best choice in most circumstances. When set to Off, the flash will not be activated even when light is inadequate. Set the flash to Off when you have prepared your own lighting effects, when you wish to capture natural lighting under low light conditions, or where use of a flash is prohibited. If the flash is set to On, the flash will be activated whenever the shutter release button is fully depressed. Set the flash to On to fill-in a back-lit subject.
Note: When using the flash to take portraits of people or animals, you may wish to use the red-eye reduction setting described in the following section, Red-Eye Reduction. Note: When using the flash, be careful not to place your finger over the flash window.
Beyond the Basics : Using the Flash
To change the flash setting, press the ADJUST button.

ADJUST

When the flash is set to Auto, pressing the shutter release button half-way will activate the auto exposure circuitry, causing the flash to charge whenever lighting is poor. Changing the setting to On causes the flash to charge each time the shutter release button is pressed. You will not be able to take photographs until the flash is fully charged.

Shutter Release Lamp

When the flash is fully charged, the shutter release lamp will glow steadily. Press the shutter release button the rest of the way to fire the flash and record an image. Note: The COOLPIX 100's built-in flash has a range of 1.2 2.25 meters (311 75).

To take a photograph using the automatic timer, first place the camera on a stable surface to frame your photograph in the viewfinder, then press the shutter release button down fully. The shutter will activate automatically ten seconds after the Automatic Timer indicator begins to flash. Note: To stop the automatic timer off without taking a picture, turn the camera off.
Beyond the Basics : Using the Automatic Timer
Connecting Your Camera to a Computer
The COOLPIX 100 camera can be connected to computers with a PCMCIA Type II or Type III PC card slot (check your computers documentation to determine whether it has the appropriate kind of card slot). To connect your camera to a computer, first remove the cameras battery unit.
Next, insert the camera into the computers card slot as shown below.
When the camera has been fully inserted, the letters PC will be shown in the first two digits of the cameras date/time display.
Beyond the Basics : Connecting Your Camera to a Computer
Note: With some computers, you will need to insert the card quite firmly before the computer will recognize the cameras flash memory card. Check the cameras control panel display to be sure that the camera is fully inserted. Once you have correctly inserted the camera into your computers PC card slot and PC is showing in the cameras control panel display, you are ready to view the images stored in the cameras memory or to transfer your photographs to disk for long-term storage. For more information on how to use COOLPIX 100 with your computer, consult the documentation for the browser software included with this product. Note: In order to read the image data stored in the camera's memory, a RAM card driver which supports the ATA interface must be installed on your computer. Consult your computer or card-drive manual.
Deleting Pictures from Memory
COOLPIX 100 allows you to delete the most recently taken photograph from memory. You can also delete all stored photographs at once by reformatting the cameras memory. To remove the most recent photograph, hold the ERASE button down until E- -- -1 shows in the date/time display.
The number of exposures remaining will increase by one, indicating that the most recently taken photograph has been deleted. Pressing the ERASE button again will cause the next most recent photograph to be removed from memory. COOLPIX 100s internal memory is sufficient to hold up to forty-two normal quality images or up to twenty-one fine quality images. When you no longer have enough memory to take further pictures at the current quality setting, the exposure count in the control panel display will show zero.

Beyond the Basics : Deleting Pictures from Memory
In this case, you will not be able to take more pictures until you have either deleted one or more pictures as described above or reset the cameras memory. If you should choose to reset the cameras memory, you should be sure to transfer to your computer all data currently stored in camera to save the pictures you would like to keep (see Connecting Your Camera to a Computer for information on how to connect your camera to a computer for data transfer). After removing the camera from the computers card slot, replace the battery unit, being careful not to get your fingers caught between the battery unit and the camera body. Turn the camera on, then hold the ERASE button down while pressing the ADJUST button.
Hold the ADJUST and ERASE buttons down until E- -A LL appears in the date/time display. The display will flash while the cameras memory is reformatted. Note: Pressing the ADJUST and ERASE buttons simultaneously will permanently erase all photographs currently in memory. Once the reformatting process is complete, the exposure count indicator will show the maximum number of exposures possible at the current quality setting. All picture data stored in the cameras memory will have been erased.

Caring for Your Camera

To ensure that you continue to get the most from your camera, you should observe the following precautions when cleaning and storing your camera.

Cleaning

The lens is covered by a clear plastic shield. You should avoid touching this shield with your fingers. Use a blower to remove dirt and dust from the lens shield. If you do get a fingerprint or other stain on the shield, wipe it carefully with a soft cloth. Clean the viewfinder and the body of the camera with a soft cloth after removing dust and dirt with a blower. If necessary, the camera may be cleaned with a damp cloth, although you should be sure to dry the camera immediately afterward. Do not apply alcohol or other cleaning fluids to any part of the camera.

Storage

Store your camera in a dry, well-ventilated environment, away from electronic equipment such as televisions or radios which produce strong magnetic fields. Do not store your camera where the temperature exceeds 60C (140F) or goes below -20C (-4F), or where the humidity exceeds 60%. If you are not going to use the camera for a long period of time, remove the batteries before putting the camera away.

Error codes

If a problem occurs in the camera's internal circuits or memory, an error code will be displayed in the control panel.
To clear the display, turn the camera off and then on again. If the code is still displayed when the camera is turned back on, contact your retailer or Nikon representative for servicing.
