Thank you for your purchase of an MH-52 Battery Charger. The MH-52 is used to recharge Nikon EN-EL1 rechargeable lithiumion batteries. For customers in the U.S.A. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Radio Frequency Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
Precautions for Use of the Nikon EN-EL1 Rechargeable Li-ion Battery
The battery is not charged at the factory. Charge the battery before use. When recharging, the ambient temperature should be in the vicinity of 535C (4195F). The internal temperature of the battery may rise while the battery is in use. If you attempt to recharge the battery while the internal temperature is elevated, the battery will not charge or will charge only partially. Wait for the battery to cool before charging. Do not attempt to recharge a fully-charged battery. Failure to observe this precaution will result in reduced battery performance. If you shake the MH-52 Battery Charger or touch the battery while the battery is charging, the resulting vibration or static electricity may in very rare instances cause the MH52 to indicate that charging is complete although the battery is in fact not yet fully charged. Should this occur, remove the battery and re-insert it into the MH-52 to continue charging. Should an abnormality or malfunction occur, discontinue use immediately and request repairs from your retailer or Nikon Service Bureau.

Battery level indicator

Number of exposures remaining
Number of Exposures Remaining
The number of pictures that can be stored depends on the capacity of the internal memory or memory card and image mode setting (A 84).
Indicators Displayed in A (Auto) Mode
Internal memory indicator Pictures will be recorded to internal memory (approx. 38 MB). When memory card is inserted, C is not displayed and pictures will be recorded to memory card.
Shooting mode A displayed in A (auto) mode
Image mode The combination of image size and image quality (compression) is displayed. The default setting is Normal (3,456 2,592).
Vibration reduction icon Vibration reduction can be applied to reduce the effects of camera shake.
The indicators and photo info displayed during shooting and playback will turn off after a few seconds (A 103). When the monitor has turned off in standby mode to save power, press the power switch or the shutter-release button to reactivate it (A 107).
Available Functions in A (Auto) Mode
In A (auto) mode, macro mode (A 33) and exposure compensation (A 34) can be applied and pictures can be taken using the flash mode (A 30) and self-timer (A 32). Pressing d in A (auto) mode allows you to specify settings for all shooting menu items (A 82).

Vibration Reduction

Vibration reduction (A 105), when On (default setting) is selected, can be applied to effectively reduce blur, caused by slight hand movement known as camera shake, that commonly occurs when shooting with zoom applied or at slow shutter speeds. Vibration reduction can be used in all shooting modes. Set Vibration reduction to Off when using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting.

Step 2 Frame a Picture

Ready the camera.
Hold the camera steadily in both hands, keeping your fingers and other objects away from the lens, flash, AF-assist illuminator, microphone, and speaker.

Frame the picture.

Position the main subject near the center of the monitor.

Using the Zoom

Use the zoom buttons to activate optical zoom. Press f to zoom out, increasing the area visible in the frame, or g to zoom in so that the subject fills a larger area of the frame.

Zoom out Zoom in

When the camera is zoomed in to the maximum optical zoom position (3), holding down g triggers digital zoom. The subject is magnified up to 4, for a total magnification of 12. When digital zoom is in effect, the focus area will not be displayed and the camera will focus on the subject in the center focus area. An indicator displayed at the top of the monitor shows the current zoom ratio.
Zoom indicator is displayed at the top of the monitor when the zoom buttons are pressed.
Maximum magnification of optical zoom (3)
When digital zoom is in effect, indicator turns yellow.
Digital Zoom and Image Quality
Digital zoom differs from optical zoom in that data from the cameras image sensor are enlarged with digital processing, which can result in reduced image quality.

Step 3 Focus and Shoot

Press the shutter-release button halfway.
The camera automatically focuses on the subject in the center focus area. When the subject is in focus, the focus area and focus indicator glow green.
When digital zoom is in effect, the focus area is not displayed. When the camera focuses on the subject in the center of the monitor, the focus indicator will glow green. When the camera is unable to focus, while the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the focus area or focus indicator blinks red. Change the composition and try again.
Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
The shutter will be released, and the picture will be recorded to the memory card or internal memory.

Shutter-Release Button

The camera features a two-stage shutter-release button. To set focus and exposure, press the shutter-release button halfway, stopping when you feel resistance. Focus and exposure lock while the shutter-release button is held in this position. To release the shutter and take a picture, press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down. Do not use force when pressing the shutter-release button, as this may result in camera shake and blurred pictures.
Press the shutterrelease button halfway to set focus and exposure.

Slow sync

U (auto) is combined with slow shutter speed.
Flash illuminates main subject; slow shutter speeds are used to capture background at night or under dim light.

Setting the Flash Mode

Press X (flash mode).
The flash mode menu is displayed.
Use the rotary multi selector to choose the desired flash mode and press k.
The icon for the selected flash mode is displayed at the top of the monitor. When U (auto) is applied, D is only displayed for a few seconds regardless of the monitor settings option applied (A 103). If a setting is not applied by pressing k within a few seconds, the selection will be cancelled.
Shooting When Lighting Is Poor and the Flash Is Disabled (W)
Use of a tripod is recommended to stabilize the camera during shooting and avoid the effects of camera shake. Turn vibration reduction (A 105) off when using a tripod. The E indicator is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken when E is displayed may be slightly mottled. When E is displayed and higher sensitivity is applied, noise reduction may be automatically applied as pictures taken are recorded; results in increased recording times.

Note on Using the Flash

When using the flash at a wide-angle zoom position, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash mode to W (Off) or zoom in on the subject.
The Flash Indicator and Flash Lamp
The flash indicator and flash lamp indicate flash status when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway. On: Flash will fire when picture is taken. Blinks: Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try again. Off: Flash will not fire when picture is taken. If the battery is low after pictures are taken using the flash, the monitor display will turn off, and remain off, and the flash lamp will blink until the flash is fully charged.

The Flash Mode Setting

The default setting is U (auto), except in some scene modes and one-touch portrait mode. If the flash mode is adjusted in any scene mode or one-touch portrait mode, the setting reverts to the default setting whenever another shooting mode is selected or the camera is turned off.

Red-Eye Reduction

This camera uses advanced red-eye reduction (In-Camera Red-Eye Fix). The flash fires repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing red-eye. The camera then analyzes the picture; if redeye is detected, the affected area will be processed to further reduce red-eye before the picture is saved. Note that because there is a slight lag between the shutter-release button being pressed and the picture being shot, this mode is not recommended when a quick shutter response is required. The time before the next picture can be shot also increases slightly. Advanced red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations. In extremely rare instances, areas not subject to red-eye may be affected by advanced red-eye reduction processing; in these cases, choose another mode and try again.

B White Balance

The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source. The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as white balance. For natural coloration, choose a white balance setting that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting, Auto, can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.
a Auto (default setting) White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations. b Preset manual Neutral-colored object used as reference to set white balance under unusual lighting conditions, see Preset Manual (A 86) for details. c d e f g Daylight White balance adjusted for direct sunlight. Incandescent Use under incandescent lighting. Fluorescent Use under most types of fluorescent lighting. Cloudy Use when shooting under overcast skies. Flash Use with the flash.
The effects of the selected option can be previewed in the monitor. At settings other than Auto, the icon for the current setting is displayed in the monitor (A 6).

Flash Mode

At white-balance settings other than Auto or Flash, turn the flash off (W) (A 30).

Preset Manual

Preset manual is used with mixed lighting or to compensate for light sources with a strong color cast (for example, to make pictures taken under a lamp with a red shade look as though they had been taken under white light).
Place a white or gray reference object under the lighting that will be used during shooting. Use the rotary multi selector to choose bPreset manual in the white balance menu, and press k.
