Introduction
Use Only Nikon Brand Electronic Accessories
Nikon COOLPIX cameras are designed to the highest standards and include complex electronic cir-
cuitry. Only Nikon brand electronic accessories (including battery chargers, batteries, AC adapters,
and flashes) certified by Nikon specifically for use with this Nikon digital camera are engineered and
proven to operate within the operational and safety requirements of this electronic circuitry.
THE USE OF NON-NIKON ELECTRONIC ACCESSORIES COULD DAM-
AGE THE CAMERA AND MAY VOID YOUR
NIKON WARRANTY. The
use of third-party rechargeable Li-ion batteries not bearing the Nikon
holographic seal* could interfere with normal operation of the cam-
era or result in the batteries overheating, igniting, rupturing, or leak-
ing.
For more information about Nikon brand accessories, contact a local
authorized Nikon dealer.
* Holographic seal: Identifies this device as an authentic Nikon product.
Before Taking Important Pictures
Before taking pictures on important occasions (such as at weddings or before taking the camera
with you on a trip), take a test shot to ensure that the camera is functioning normally. Nikon will
not be held liable for damages or lost profits that may result from product malfunction.
Internal Memory and SD Memory Card
This camera uses both internal memory and an SD memory card for storing pictures. If you insert a
memory card into the camera, pictures will automatically be stored on the card instead of in the
internal memory. To store, view or delete pictures in the internal memory or to format the internal
memory, remove the memory card first.
