[] The Battery

• (-heck the battery level when taking the camera out, and charge the battery if necessary. Do not

continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in reduced battery

performance. If possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking pictures on importantoccasions,

• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F), Failure

to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance,

• Charge the battery in an indoor environment that is between S and 35 °C (41 to 95 °F),

• When charging the battery by con netting the COOLPIX P l O0 to the Charging AC Adapter EH 68P/

EH 68P (AR) or to a computer, the chargeable capacity may decrease when the battery

temperatu re is between 45 to 60 °C (113 to 140 °F), The battery will not charge if its temperatu re is

below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F),

• If an exhausted battery is used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Be sure that the

battery is fully charged and spare batteries are prepared before heading outside to take pictures in

cold weather, Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary, Once warmed, a

cold battery that cou Id not be used temporarily due to lowered performance may recover some of

its charge,

• Should the battery terminals become dirty, the camera may not turn on due to poor contact, Wipe

the terminals off with a clean, dry cloth before use,

• If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the ca mera and run it flat before removing

it for storage, Attach the included terminal cover to the battery and store it in a cool location with

an ambient temperature of 1S to 25 °C (59 to 77 °F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremelycold locations.

• While the battery is in storage, charge it at least once every six months and then use the camera to

run it flat again before storing it in a cool location.

• Always remove the battery from the camera or battery charger when it is not being used. Left

installed, minute amounts of current flow even when unused, and the battery may become

excessively drained and no longer function,

• 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 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.

176

Cleaning

Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with ablower (typicallya small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that

Lens/ is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To removeelectronic fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the

viewfinder lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of thelens and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth

lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

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

Body salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then drythoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the camera could cause

damage not covered by the warranty.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

If there are 200 files inthe folder, a new folder will be created. (For example, the folder name following'100NIKON' will be '101NIKON'. In this case, the file number starts from 201.)

When the number of files within a folder reaches 9999 or Reset file numbering([_174) is performed, a new folder will be created.

File numbers will be assigned automatically starting with '0001 '. If the foldercontains no files, a new folder will not be created even if Reset file numberingis performed.

• Voice memo file names have the same identifier and file number as the pictureto which the voice memo is attached.

• Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a fivecharacter identifier: "P" plus a three digit sequence number for pictures shotusing Panorama assist (e.g., "101P_O01") ([_ 53).
