Flexible Program
Frame picture, focus, and shoot.
In M mode, different combinations of shutter speeds and apertures can be selected by pressing the multi selector right (Flexible program). Then, press the multi selector left to decrease the shutter speed and right to increase the shutter speed. While Flexible program is in effect, the End 1/60 F2.shutter speed and aperture are displayed in yellow (otherwise, they are displayed in white). When returned to Shooting mode, an asterisk (*) appears next to M and the set values of the shutter speed and aperture also appear.

Press d to return to the Shooting mode.
If the selected aperture would result in the picture being underexposed or overexposed, the aperture icon on the monitor will flash when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. Select another aperture and try again.

Aperture and Zoom

The aperture value (measured in f/-numbers) expresses the amount of light that passes through the lens and is calculated by dividing the lens focal length by the effective diameter (a value based on the physical opening in the lens and the amount of light passing through). Lower f/-numbers indicate an increase in the amount of light passing though and higher f/-numbers indicate a decrease. The smallest number in a lens aperture range is the maximum aperture and the largest number is the minimum aperture. The aperture for this cameras lens (focal length: 7.5 to 26.3 mm; aperture range: f/2.7 to f/5.3) changes depending on the zoom setting. The aperture increases when zooming in and decreases when zooming out. Selecting On for Fixed aperture (P.88) in E (Aperture-priority auto) mode keeps the aperture change as close as possible to the selected f/-number (aperture range: f/5 to f/7.3). In M (Programmed auto) mode, Fixed aperture has no effect even if set to On.
Selecting Image Quality and Size
The image quality and size you select determine the file size of a picture when stored in the internal memory or on the memory card. Image Quality
The process of reducing the image file size when storing is called compression. In this camera, pictures are compressed and recorded as JPEG files. The more a picture is compressed, the smaller the image file size becomes. As a result, more pictures can be stored in the internal memory or on the memory card. However, the image quality, compared with a picture taken with a lower compression ratio, decreases and pictures cannot be printed at large sizes without a loss of quality. The less a picture is compressed, the larger the image size becomes. As a result, fewer pictures can be stored in the internal memory or on the memory card. However, less compression increases the image quality.

Cancel
Maintains the most recent value and uses it for white balance. To measure a new value for white balance, place a neutral gray object, such as a piece of cardboard, under the lighting that will be used when shooting. Frame the object to fill the square in the center of the menu shown above. Highlight Measure and press d to measure a new value for white balance (the shutter will be released and the camera will return to the original zoom position, but no picture will be recorded).

Measure

Notes on Preset White Balance
The camera cannot measure a value for preset white balance when the flash fires. Regardless of the flash mode selected, the flash will not fire when selecting Measure. Preset white balance cannot be used when AUTO BRACKETING is set to WB bracketing. If the mode dial is set to c, the lens does not extend when turning the camera on. The lens extends only after pressing d when you select White bal. preset in the WHITE BALANCE menu.

Using Vibration Reduction (VR)
Vibration reduction adjusts the lens to compensate for camera motion that can blur your image while shooting still pictures or movies. It makes blurring less likely to occur in situations where it is difficult to hold the camera steady, such as when shooting at slow shutter speeds in dimly lit surroundings or when zoomed in for close-up shots. When you compose your image, you can see the results of Vibration reduction on the cameras monitor.

W Normal

Suitable for normal shooting conditions. The camera detects and smoothes out panning movements. Vibration reduction reduces only vertical shake when the camera is panned horizontally and only horizontal shake when panned vertically. Suitable for severe camera shake such as when shooting from a moving vehicle. This option does not detect vibrations when panning. Vibration reduction is turned off.

X Active Off

Setting Vibration Reduction
In Shooting mode, press f repeatedly Selected option is indicated by icon on to select W (Normal), X (Active) or monitor. Off. After the icon appears, frame picture,

Cleaning Lens One key to preserving the condition of glass parts is to not touch them with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other). To remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. If this fails to clean the lens, wipe with a dry cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner. Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure. Body Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly. The camera may be damaged if foreign matter gets inside the camera body. Nikon cannot accept liability for damage caused by dirt or sand. Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Avoid Contact with Liquid Crystal
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

Notes on the Monitor

The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded using the product will not be affected. When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may appear on the monitor. This phenomenon, known as smear, does not appear in the final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies. Images on the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light. The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your local retailer or Nikon representative.
Storage Turn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp is off before putting the camera away. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. If the product will not be used for an extended period, run the battery flat and remove it from the camera. Store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant, replacing the desiccant when it loses its capacity to absorb moisture. Do not store your camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in locations that: are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%. are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios. are exposed to temperatures below 10C (14F) or above 50C (122F). To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again.

Troubleshooting

If your camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems below before consulting your local retailer or Nikon representative. Refer to the page numbers listed in the right-most column for more information.
Electronically-Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear on 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, or, if you are using the optional AC adapter, disconnect and reconnect the adapter, and turn the camera on again. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result in the loss of any data not recorded to the internal memory or memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the internal memory or memory card will not be affected. Problem Possible cause
When shooting a picture or movie, a Vibration reduction option was set by pressing f. Camera shook during shot. Blurring caused by camera shake can be reduced by: Using the flash Using the Best Shot Selector (BSS) Using the self-timer with a tripod Camera is off.
