The details of geological formations are displayed simplistically according to the scale of a map. The scale of a map and level of detail of the location data vary depending on country and region. If the latitude becomes higher, the horizontal and vertical scales displayed on the monitor vary, therefore displayed geological formations differ from the actual formations. Use the maps and location name information only as a guide.

The detailed map data and location name information (Points of Interest: POI) of the Peoples Republic of China (China) and the Republic of Korea are not provided for the COOLPIX S9700.

bNotes about record location data functions and log recording When Record location data in Location data options of the Location

data options menu is set to On or during log recording, record location data functions and log recording function will continue to operate even after the camera is turned off (A86).

Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and Canada

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC)

Declaration of Conformity This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence- exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.

FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

Tips and Notes

When you point the camera at the subject, the camera automatically selects the optimum scene mode from the list below and adjusts the shooting settings accordingly.

The focus area depends on the composition of the image. When the camera detects a human face, it focuses on that face (A69).

In some shooting conditions, the camera may not select the appropriate scene mode that you intended. If this happens, switch to A (auto) mode or select the scene mode that you want to use when taking images (A22).

Shooting Features

The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.

Using Target Finding AF In auto mode or when AF area mode (A62) in j, k, l, or m mode is set to Target finding AF, the camera focuses in the manner described below. When the camera detects the main subject, a

yellow border (focus area) is displayed around it. If a human face is detected, the camera automatically sets focus priority on it. When you press the shutter-release button halfway, the focus area that is in focus glows green.

If no main subject is detected, the camera automatically selects one or more of the 9 focus areas containing the subject closest to the camera when you press the shutter- release button halfway. When the subject is in focus, the focus areas that are in focus glow green.

B Notes About Target Finding AF Depending on shooting conditions, the subject that the camera determines to be

the main subject may vary.

The main subject may not be detected when using certain White balance settings.

The camera may not detect the main subject appropriately in the following situations: - When the subject is very dark or bright - When the main subject lacks clearly defined colors - When the shot is framed so that the main subject is at the edge of the monitor - When the main subject is composed of a repeating pattern

Shooting Features Using Face Detection In the following shooting modes, the camera uses face detection to automatically focus on human faces. Scene auto selector, Portrait, or Night

portrait scene mode (A32) Smart portrait mode (A39) When AF area mode (A62) in j, k, l, or

m mode (A43) is set to Face priority. If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around the other faces.

If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected: When Scene auto selector is selected, the focus area changes depending

on the scene. In Portrait or Night portrait scene mode or smart portrait mode, the

camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame. In j, k, l, or m mode, the camera selects the focus area containing the

subject closest to the camera.

B Notes About Face Detection The cameras ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the

direction in which the faces are looking.

The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:

- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or otherwise obstructed

- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame

C Face Detection During Movie Recording When AF area mode (A80) in the movie menu is set to Face priority, the camera focuses on human faces during movie recording. If the b (e movie-record) button is pressed when no faces are detected, the camera focuses on the area in the center of the frame.

Shooting Features

Using Skin Softening When the shutter is released while using one of the shooting modes listed below, the camera detects human faces and processes the image to soften facial skin tones (up to 3 faces). Smart portrait mode (A39)

- The skin softening level can be adjusted. Scene auto selector, Portrait, or Night portrait scene mode (A32) Editing functions such as Skin softening can be applied to saved images by using Glamour retouch (A74) even after shooting.

B Notes About Skin Softening It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.

Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved, and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.

Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator glows green: Subject is very dark Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun

behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark) No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject

wearing a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall) Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is

inside a cage) Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple

rows of similarly shaped windows, etc.) Subject is moving rapidly In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to refocus several times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A71).

71

Shooting Features Focus Lock Focus lock shooting is recommended when the camera does not activate the focus area that contains the desired subject.

1 Set AF area mode to Center (A61). AF area mode can be set when the shooting mode is set to j, k, l, or m.

2 Position the subject in the center of the frame and press the shutter-release button halfway. Confirm that the focus area

glows green. Focus and exposure are locked.

3 Without lifting your finger, recompose the picture. Make sure to maintain the same distance

between the camera and the subject.

4 Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down to take the picture.

B Maximum Movie Length Individual movie files cannot exceed 4 GB in size or 29 minutes in length, even when there is sufficient free space on the memory card for longer recording.

The maximum movie length for a single movie is displayed on the shooting screen.

Recording may end before either limit is reached if camera temperature becomes elevated.

The actual movie length may vary depending on the movie content, subject movement, or type of memory card.

B Notes About Saving Images and Recording Movies The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the maximum movie length flashes while images are being saved or while a movie is being recorded. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.

B Notes About Movie Recording Memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are recommended when

recording movies (F29). Movie recording may stop unexpectedly when memory cards with a lower Speed Class rating are used.

When using the cameras internal memory, saving movies may take some time.

Depending on the file size of a movie, it may not be possible to save the movie in the internal memory or copy it from a memory card to the internal memory.

There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used.

The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.

The following phenomena may be seen in the monitor while recording movies. These phenomena are saved in the recorded movies. - Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-

vapor lighting. - Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a

moving train or car, may appear skewed. - The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned. - Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is

moved.

Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) may have colored stripes (interference patterns, moire, etc.) in them during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.

78

Recording and Playing Back M ovies

B Notes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording When Movie VR (A80) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of

view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording.

When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during recording, set Movie VR to Off to prevent potential errors caused by this function.

B Camera Temperature The camera may become warm when shooting movies for an extended period of

time or when the camera is used in a hot area.

If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the camera will automatically stop recording. The amount of time remaining until the camera stops recording (B10s) is displayed. After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off. Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.

B Notes About Autofocus Autofocus may not perform as expected (A70). Should this occur, try the following:

1. Set AF area mode to Center and Autofocus mode to Single AF (default setting) in the movie menu before starting movie recording.

2. Frame another subjectpositioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subjectin the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, and then modify the composition.

Saving Still Images While Recording Movies If the shutter-release button is pressed all the way while recording a movie, one frame is saved as a still image. Movie recording continues while the still image is being saved. Q is displayed at the top left of the monitor.

When z is displayed, a still image cannot be saved.

The image size of the still images to be saved is the same as the Movie options (A80) setting.

B Notes About Saving Still Images During Movie Recording Still images cannot be saved during movie recording in the following situations.

- When movie recording is paused - When the remaining movie length is less than 5 seconds - When Movie options is set to Z 1080/60i, U 1080/50i, g 480/30p, W 480/25p or HS movie

Frames of a movie that were recorded when a still image was being taken may not be played back in a seamless manner.

The sounds of operating the shutter-release button when saving a still image may be heard in the recorded movie.

B Notes About Location Data Functions Before using the location data functions, read Notes About Location

Data Functions (GPS/GLONASS, Electronic Compass) (Axii).

It takes a few minutes to obtain location data when positioning is performed for the first time or in a situation where positioning cannot be performed for a long period of time, or just after the battery is replaced.

Positions of the positioning satellites change constantly. You may not be able to determine the position or it may take some time depending on your location and the time. To use the location data functions, use the camera in an open-air area with few obstacles in the sky. Signal receiving will be smoother if the positioning antenna (A1) is facing the sky.

The following locations which block or reflect signals may result in failed or inaccurate positioning.

- Inside buildings or underground locations

- Between high-rise buildings

- Under overpasses

- Inside tunnels

- Near high-voltage electrical power lines

- Between clusters of trees

Using a mobile phone of 1.5 GHz band near this camera may disrupt positioning.

When carrying this camera around while positioning, do not place it in a metal bag. Positioning cannot be performed if the camera is covered with metal materials.

When there is a significant difference in the signals from the positioning satellites, there could be a deviation of up to several hundred meters.

Be aware of your surroundings when positioning.

The shooting date and time that is displayed when playing back images is determined by the cameras internal clock at the time of shooting. The time obtained by the location data and recorded on images will not be displayed on the camera.

The location data for the first frame will be recorded on a series of images shot using continuous shooting.

B Battery Drain While Recording Location Data and Log Recording When Record location data is set to On, record location data functions will

continue to operate at the specified interval for approximately 6 hours even after the camera is turned off. Also, record location data functions and log recording function will continue to operate during log recording (A91) even after the camera is turned off.

When Record location data is set to On or during log recording, the battery power will drain faster than usual.

aps C Location Data Reception Indicator and Points of Interest (POI)

Information Location data reception can be checked on the

shooting screen.

- n: Signals are being received from four or more satellites and positioning is being performed. The location data is recorded on the image.

- o: Signals are being received from three satellites and positioning is being performed. The location data is recorded on the image.

- z: Signals are being received from the satellites, but positioning is not possible. The location data is not recorded on the image.

- y: Signals cannot be received from the satellites, and positioning is not possible. The location data is not recorded on the image.

POI information is location name information for landmarks (facilities) and other details.

- When Display POI in Points of interest (POI) of the Location data options menu (A91) is set to On, the nearest location name information for the current position is displayed during shooting.

- When Embed POI is set to On, location name information can be recorded on the image during shooting.

- If the location name information was recorded on the image during shooting, this information is displayed when Display POI is set to On during playback.

The location name information may not be displayed depending on the setting level in Level of detail of Points of interest (POI). Also, certain landmark names may not be registered, or the landmark name may be different.

C Images with Recorded Location Data The z icon is displayed during playback for images which have the location data

recorded (A8).

The location data recorded on an image can be checked on a map with ViewNX 2 after transferring the image to a computer (A98).

The actual place of shooting may differ from the location data recorded on the image files due to the accuracy of the location data obtained and a difference in the geodetic system used.

The location data and POI information recorded on images can be erased using Erase location data in Location data options (A91). The erased information cannot be recovered.

is moving in, shooting begins.

Example of Camera Movement Using your body as the axis of

rotation, move the camera slowly in an arc, in the direction of the marking (KLJI).

Shooting stops if the guide does not reach the edge within about 15 seconds (when Normal (180) is selected) or within about 30 seconds (when Wide (360) is selected) after shooting starts.

B Notes About Easy Panorama Shooting The range of the image seen in the saved image is narrower than that seen in the

monitor at the time of shooting.

If the camera is moved too quickly or shaken too much, or if the subject is too uniform (e.g. walls or darkness), an error may occur.

If shooting is stopped before the camera reaches the half-way point in the panorama range, a panorama image is not saved.

If more than half of the panorama range is captured but shooting ends before reaching the edge of the range, the range not captured is recorded and displayed in gray.

B Notes About the Monitor Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision;

at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.

Due to the general characteristics of OLED monitors, prolonged or repeated display of the same screen or image may result in screen burn. Screen burn can be recognized by decreased brightness in portions of the monitor or mottled display. In some cases, screen burn may become permanent. However, images are in no way affected by screen burn. To prevent screen burn, do not set monitor brightness higher than necessary and do not display the same screen or image for an extended period of time.

Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.

The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your Nikon-authorized service representative.

The Battery Be sure to read and follow the warnings in For Your Safety (Avii-ix) before use. Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the

battery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking images on important occasions.

Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0C (32F) or above 40C (104F).

Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5C to 35C (41F to 95F) before use.

When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the charging AC adapter or a computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 0C (32F) or above 45C (113F).

Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the battery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally.

On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is used at a low temperature, the camera will not turn on. Be sure that the battery is fully charged before heading outside to take images in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.

Technical N otes and Index

F4

If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and completely exhaust it before removing it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15C to 25C (59F to 77F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.

Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not being used. When inserted, minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery even when not in use. This may result in excessive draining of the battery and complete loss of function. Turning the camera on or off while the battery is exhausted can result in reduced battery life.

Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before returning it to storage.

After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. to insulate the terminal and store it in a cool place.

A marked drop in the time a fully-charged battery retains its charge, when used at room temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new EN-EL12 battery.

Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Charging AC Adapter Be sure to read and follow the warnings in For Your Safety (Avii-ix) before use. The Charging AC Adapter EH-71P is for use only with compatible devices. Do

not use with another make or model of device. Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than

the UC-E21 could result in overheating, fire or electric shock. Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter

other than Charging AC Adapter EH-71P, and do not use a commercially available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

The EH-71P is compatible with AC 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When using in other countries, use a plug adapter (available commercially) as necessary. For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency.
