A Note on 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 battery, and turn the camera on again. If you are using an AC adapter, disconnect and reconnect the adapter, and turn the camera on again. If the camera continues to malfunction after performing the above operation, contact retailer or Nikon representative. Note that performing the above operation may eliminate data not recorded to the CF memory card at the time the camera stopped functioning. Data already recorded to the CF memory card will not be affected.

Step 5Check the Results

After each shot, the green light will blink as the picture is recorded to the CF memory card. If the monitor is on, the shot you have just taken will be displayed briefly in the monitor. Any additional shots you take while earlier pictures are being saved will be stored in a temporary memory buffer before being saved to the CF memory card. Pictures can be taken until the buffer is full (the buffer can hold about eight full-sized, normalquality images). When the buffer is full, an hourglass icon (W) will be displayed and the shutter release will be disabled. Additional pictures can be taken as soon as enough memory is available in the buffer and the W icon is no longer displayed.

During Recording

While pictures are recorded to the CF memory card, the green light will blink. Do not eject the CF memory card, or remove or disconnect the power source until the light has stopped blinking. Removing the card or cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data.
Step 7Assisted Creative Photography: Select Scene Mode
Although the AUTO mode is suited to a wide variety of situations, some compositions call for special combinations of settings. In SCENE mode, you select the scene from a menu of creative shooting situations, and the camera automatically adjusts settings to produce the best possible results.

Option HI File format TIFF Description Best-quality image, with no compression. Use when quality or authenticity is of paramount importance. Fine image quality, suitable for enlargements or highquality prints. File size reduced to roughly 1/4 of original. Normal image quality, suited to most applications. File size reduced to roughly 1/8 of original. Basic image quality, suitable for pictures that will be distributed by e-mail or used in web pages. File size reduced to roughly 1/16 of original.
While setting of NORMAL represents the best trade-off between file size and image quality in most cases, a setting of BASIC can be used to save memory or create smaller files suitable for electronic distribution. Setting of HI or FINE are suitable for pictures that will be enlarged or printed at high resolution.

File and Folder Names

Photos created by the COOLPIX885 have names of the form DSCNnnnn.JPG, where nnnn is a four-digit number assigned automatically by the camera (e.g., DSCN0001.JPG). In place of JPG, movies have the extension MOV (e.g., DSCN0001.MOV). For the small picture files, SSCN instead of DSCN is assigned (e.g., SSCN0002.JPG). Photos and movies are stored in folders with a name consisting of a three-digit number between 100 and 999, followed by NIKON (e.g., 100NIKON).
When a file number exceeds 9999 in a folder or the number of files in a folder exceeds 200, a new folder with one added to the folder number is created and image files, with sequential file numbers from 0001, will be stored in it.

The Memory Buffer

The camera is equipped with a memory buffer for temporary storage of photos during shooting, allowing you to take several pictures in succession without waiting for the images to be transferred to the CF memory card. The number of images that can be stored in the buffer depends on the quality and size of the images. When the buffer becomes full, an hourglass icon (W) will be displayed in the monitor until enough data have been transferred to the card to allow more pictures to be taken. More pictures can be taken as soon as enough memory becomes available in the buffer. At a setting of Continuous or VGA Sequence, you can continue to take pictures as long as the shutter release button is held down, although the rate at which pictures are taken will drop when the buffer fills up.
Getting Sharper Pictures: The BSS (Best-Shot Selector) Menu

For this release of NikonView 4, iView Media Pro (Macintosh only) and Cumulus 5.0 trial version (Macintosh and Windows) are bundled with Coolpix cameras. Cumulus 5.0 Limited version (Macintosh and Windows) is bundled with SLR Digital (D1 series) cameras. Please contact the following vendors for technical support or for sales related questions that you may have regarding the bundle software. Nikon cannot provide support for these software products. For iView Media Pro iView multi media http://www.iview-multimedia.com/ For Culumus 5.0 Canto http://www.canto.com/ Automatic Catalog Feature When Nikon View 4 transfers images to your hard disk, Nikon View 4 will launch one of the image browsers mentioned above (if you have installed the browser software) and registers thumbnails and photo information data (such as shutter speed, f-stop, new file location in your hard disk and so on) with the browser software. Since Nikon View 4 and the browser software are communicating when images are being transferred, please do not quit from Nikon View 4 or the browser software during the transfer. Cumulus When using larger size image files, such as NEF files or TIFF files, you may feel that registering those images into Cumulus LE takes too long. To change the operation of Cumulus in this area please select the "Catalog" Menu Item from the main menu bar, then select the "Cataloging options" menu choice. Once the dialog box is displayed click on the "Stored Thumbnail (if large enough)" radio-button" in the "Create Thumbnail from" section of the "Cataloging Options" dialog box. This function is set to "Entire Asset" as the default. 2. Camera connected without a CompactFlash card installed (Only for Windows 98SE, Windows Me and Windows XP users) Please make sure that a CompactFlash card is present in the card slot of your Coolpix 775, 885, 995 or 5000 before you connect the camera to a computer running with Windows 98SE, Windows Me or Windows XP using a USB cable. The Window operating system may become unstable if you connect the camera without a CompactFlash card installed. If you experience this problem, turn off the camera and install a CompactFlash card into the camera and then re-start the computer.
3. Windows Media Player Windows Media Player cannot playback QuickTime movie files, which are created by the movie mode of the Nikon Coolpix 5000, 995,990, 885, 880 or 775 cameras.

Nikon View 4 and older versions of Nikon View (900, Ver. 2, Ver. 2.5, Ver. 3 or DX) Please uninstall any older version of Nikon View before the installation of Nikon View 4. To uninstall older versions of Nikon View, please use the add/remove software control panel, which can be found in Start/settings/control panels. Do not install a previous version of Nikon View, once you install Nikon View 4. 5.Compatible Cameras This release of Nikon View 4 supports the following Nikon digital cameras through the digital I/O connection port (IEEE 1394, or USB) as well as reading images through a Compact Flash card reader. Nikon Digital Camera D1X Nikon Digital Camera D1H Nikon Digital Camera D1 Nikon Digital Camera E5000 (Coolpix 5000) Nikon Digital Camera E995 (Coolpix 995) Nikon Digital Camera E885 (Coolpix 885) Nikon Digital Camera E775 (Coolpix 775) Nikon Digital Camera E990 (Coolpix 990) Nikon Digital Camera E880 (Coolpix 880) Please also note that two cameras, two card readers, or a camera and a card reader cannot be supported at the same time.

Nikon View 4 also supports reading images from a Compact Flash card that contains images taken by these cameras: Nikon Digital Camera E950 (Coolpix 950) Nikon Digital Camera E800 (Coolpix 800) Nikon Digital Camera E700 (Coolpix 700) Nikon Digital Camera E900s (Coolpix 900s) Nikon Digital Camera E900 (Coolpix 900) 6. Image Viewer Setting Nikon View 4 has a built in image viewer. When you double click a thumbnail image, the viewer opens the image and displays it at full size on your screen. By using Nikon View 4 Preference Settings, you can change the viewer program, which will be used to display images. For example, if you set Adobe Photoshop as your viewer, Nikon View 4 will launch Adobe Photoshop and request Photoshop to open the image when you double click an image. If you use Adobe Photoshop as your viewer application software, we recommend that you change the Photoshop scratch disk location from the system drive (default setting) to another drive. To change the Photoshop scratch disk setting, visit the Photoshop preference dialog. Photoshop will have to be restarted after making any changes to the scratch disk location. 7. Memory If you experience the following problems; Taking a long time to transfer, and open images (s). Image(s) cannot be transferred. Image(s) cannot be opened. Please try the following tips. a) Lack of computer memory may cause such difficulty. Please quit other application software and uninstall unneeded drivers and / or application software, and then try again. b) If you have increased the system virtual memory size, please try to use the factory default value. For Windows 98, 98SE and ME, you can examine the current virtual memory setting used by Windows by visiting the System Control Panel then select the "Performance Tab", then select Virtual Memory from the available control buttons. In general, Windows does a good job managing virtual memory. It is not suggested to alter the settings, unless you know exactly why this must be accomplished. Normally if your "C:" drive is nearly full, you will want to use another drive for the virtualmemory file. Windows requires a restart after any change to the virtual memory settings. For Windows 2000, in the System control panel select the "Advanced" Tab, then select Performance Options to access the Virtual Memory Controls. In all cases be advised that improper setup of Virtual Memory can prevent your system from starting. In the event you run into this problem, start your system in safe mode. This will allow you access to the control panels to make an attempt to restore the default settings. 8. Using with the D1/X/H

Please do not take a picture with any D1 series camera, if you have the camera connected to your computer and Nikon View 4 is launching. 9. Multiple Image sources are not supported Nikon View 4 does not support multiple image sources for simultaneous use. Image sources include Coolpix cameras and Compact Flash cards that were used in any Nikon Digital Camera. Please do not connect more than one image source to use with Nikon View 4 at any one time. Please do not put any CF card which were used in your Nikon Digital camera into your card reader when you have the camera connected to your computer. 10. Powering off the camera or ejecting the Compact Flashcard Please do not turn off the camera and do not eject the Compact Flash card from your card reader or from the camera when Nikon View 4 is transferring images. Please quit from Nikon View 4 before you disconnect any cables from your camera. Please quit from Nikon View 4 and turn off the camera power before you eject a Compact Flash card from your camera. 11. When a Compact Flashcard has both Coolpix and D1 images If a Compact Flash card stores images taken by a Coolpix camera and images taken by a D1 series camera at the same time, Nikon View 4 may not display the photo information (such as shutter speed, f-stop and so on) correctly. 12. Operation on the back panel LCD of the D1X/D1H The D1X/D1H allows you to modify some of the camera settings (delete, file protect, file hide, folder setting and card format) using the back panel LCD screen on the camera even when you have the camera connected with Nikon View 4. Although you can change these settings during this time, Nikon View 4 does not update the results of those changes on your computer screen until the camera is reconnected. 13. Font size To assure proper screen display, please set your screen display to "small fonts". This is the default setting for Windows. To check the current setting, open the "Display" control panel, then click the "Advanced" button. This will present the "General" Tab, which contains the font setting control. If you change the setting to "small fonts" please restart your computer to make the new setting active. 14. Rotation of TIFF image files Rotation may not be applied to TIFF images when you open these image files with third party application software. When you copy image files using Nikon View 4 after rotating those images, rotation will be applied to the image files during the copy process. Then you will see rotated images after copying images to your computer storage device. These images should be displayed as rotated when you open these images with any of third party image viewing or editing application. However we found some third party applications do not display images as rotated in cases where the original images were captured in the TIFF format. 15. Operation speed using Coolpix 990 and 880 Nikon View 4.3 adds support for the Coolpix 990 and 880 models (USB interface only) as a part of Nikon's ongoing support for legacy products. Our goal is to continue to provide enhancements in both hardware and software for our products when possible. Please note that operational speed with the Coolpix 990 and Coolpix 880 may not be fast as our latest

cameras such as Coolpix 5000, Coolpix 995, Coolpix 885 and Coolpix 775. This speed difference may be noticeable when the CF card in the camera stores many images and contains big files such as a movie file or files shot in HI mode. 16. NikonNet uploader This release of Nikon View 4 includes the picture upload function that allows you to send your digital pictures to the NikonNet photo album site. (www.nikonnet.com) Please be advised that only JPEG and TIFF-RGB images that are under 2 MB in size can be uploaded to the site. This means the NEF and TIFF-YCbCr images cannot be uploaded. Also large JPEG files, such as large fine JPEG images taken by D1X and full size fine JPEG images taken by the Coolpix 5000 and Coolpix 995, can not be uploaded to the site. 17.Known problems 17.1. Drag and Drop This release of Nikon View 4 does not support "Drag & Drop" operation to register any image(s) with a supported third party Database software (e.g. Cumulus 5 and iView Media Pro). Images may not be correctly registered even if it appears that the registration was successful. 17.2 When using a Compact Flash card that is full Nikon View 4 will display an error message that indicates, There is no image in the camera or on the card. Exit from the program. if you have a card that does not have any capacity left in D1X or D1H connected using the IEEE1394 interface. (The camera will display [CHA] on the top LCD in this case.) Please use a card reader or delete any unneeded image from the Compact Flash card if this message is displayed. 17.3 Transfer mark You can mark on images using Coolpix885 and Coolpix775. Those marked images will be transferred to your computer when you press the transfer button of Coolpix 775 and Coolpix 885. However this transfer function will not work when you have more than 1000 images marked on a single large capacity CF card in the camera. Please reduce the number of marked images. When you use Nikon View 4, it has a selective transfer function that allows you to transfer only the marked images from the camera into your computer. This function is available with using Coolpix 5000, Coolpix 995, Coolpix885 and Coolpix 775 and will not work if more than 1000 images are marked. Please reduce the number of marked images in this case. 17.4. Card format function Nikon View 4 has a function that can format (initialize) a Compact Flash card if a card is present in the camera. This function is not supported if you use Windows XP operating system. Please note that the format command will erase all images from your Compact Flash card. Please transfer the images to your system before executing the format command. 17.5. Administrator privilege user mode When you use Nikon View 4 in Windows XP, you must be logged into the Windows XP system as an administrator, if your system is running user level security. Without administrator level privilege, Nikon View 4 will return an error and it will not transfer images. ****************************************************************
