Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Introduction
vi
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory
cards or built-in camera memory does not completely erase the original image data.
Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using
commercially available software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of personal
image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person,
erase all data using commercial deletion software, or set Record location data of
Location data options (A91) to Off after formatting the device and then
completely refill it with images containing no private information (for example,
pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for the Select an
image option in the Welcome screen setting (A83). Care should be taken to
avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices.
For the COOLPIX S9700, the log data saved on the memory card is handled in the
same way as other data. To erase the log data that is obtained but not stored on the
memory card, select Create log ➝ End log ➝ Erase log.
You can clear the Wi-Fi settings using Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options
menu (E89).

<Important> Notes About Location Data
Functions (GPS/GLONASS, Electronic
Compass)
Introduction
bMap/location name data of this camera
Before using the location data functions, make sure to read “USER LICENSE
AGREEMENT FOR MAP DATA AND LOCATION NAME DATA” (F19) and agree
to the terms.
• The maps and location name information (Points of Interest: POI) are as of
April 2013.
The maps and location name information will not be updated.
• 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 People’s 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).
The electromagnetic waves emitted by this camera may disrupt the
electronic systems of the airplane or the instruments of the hospital. When
use of the camera is prohibited or restricted during airplane takeoffs and
landings or inside a hospital, end log recording, set Record location data
to Off, and then turn off the camera.
• An individual may be identified from still images or movies that have been
recorded with location data. Observe caution when you transfer still images
or movies recorded with location data, or log files to a third party or upload
them to a network such as the Internet where the public can view them.
Make sure to read “Disposing of Data Storage Devices” (Avi).
xii
bUsing the camera overseas
• Before taking the camera with location data functions overseas for travel,
consult your travel agency or embassy of the country you are visiting to
confirm whether there is any restriction on use.
For example, you cannot record location data logs without permission from
the government in China.
Set Record location data to Off.
• The location data may not function properly in China and on the borders
between China and neighboring countries (as of December 2013).
Introduction
bNotes about measurement functions
The COOLPIX S9700 is a camera. Do not use this camera as a navigation device
or measuring instrument.
• Use information (such as direction) measured by the camera as a guideline
only. Do not use this information for navigation of an airplane, car, and
person or land survey applications.
• When you use the camera for mountain climbing or trekking, make sure to
take a map, navigation device, or measuring instrument separately.

Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN Network)
Introduction
This product is controlled by the United States Export Administration
Regulations, and you are required to obtain permission from the United States
government if you export or re-export this product to any country to which the
United States embargoes goods. The following countries were subject to
embargo: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Since the target countries
are subject to change, please contact the United States Department of
Commerce for the latest information.
Restrictions on Wireless Devices
The wireless transceiver included in this product conforms to wireless
regulations in the country of sale and is not for use in other countries (products
purchased in the EU or EFTA can be used anywhere within the EU and EFTA).
Nikon does not accept liability for use in other countries. Users who are unsure
as to the original country of sale should consult with their local Nikon service
center or Nikon-authorized service representative. This restriction applies to

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 licenceexempt 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.
xiv
COOLPIX S9700, which is equipped with a DW092 (FCC ID: EW4DW092/IC ID:

and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C
to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer
to the SAR test report that was uploaded to FCC website.
Introduction
Declaration of Conformity (Europe)

Auto with Red-eye Reduction/Red-eye Reduction
Pre-flashes are fired repeatedly at low intensity before the main flash, reducing the
red-eye effect. If the camera detects red-eye while saving an image, the affected area
is processed to reduce red-eye before the image is saved.
Note the following when shooting:
• Because pre-flashes are fired, there is a slight lag between when the shutter-release
button is pressed and when the image is shot.
• More time than usual is required to save images.
• Red-eye reduction may not produce the desired results in all situations.
• In some rare cases, red-eye reduction may be applied unnecessarily to other areas
of the image. In these cases, select another flash mode and take the image again.

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
68
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

• The camera’s 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.

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.
Shooting Features

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).
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.

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 camera’s 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 sodiumvapor 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.
Recording and Playing Back Movies
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 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.

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 subject—positioned at the same distance from the camera as the
intended subject—in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record)
button to start recording, and then modify the composition.

- 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.
• If the camera moves when the shutter-release button is pressed, the image may be
blurred.
Recording and Playing Back 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

Notes About Location Data Functions
Using Location Data Functions/Displaying Maps
• Before using the location data functions, read “<Important> 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 camera’s 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.

Caring for the Product
The Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions
described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Avii-ix)
when using or storing the device.
B
Do Not Drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.
B
Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care
Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery
chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could
result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens.
B
Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
B
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building
on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent
condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it
to sudden changes in temperature.
B
Keep away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Technical Notes and Index
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or the magnetic
fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the
monitor, damage data saved on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal
circuitry.
B
Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended
Periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods
when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration of the
image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.
B
Turn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power
Source
Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved
or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data
or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.
F2
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
Technical Notes and Index
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 0°C (32°F) or above
40°C (104°F).
• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C
(41°F to 95°F) 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 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
• 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.
F3
• 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 15°C to 25°C (59°F
to 77°F). 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
Technical Notes and Index
F4
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

(F29) for recommended memory cards.
• Observe the precautions noted in the documentation included with your
memory card.
• Do not affix labels or stickers to the memory card.
• Do not format the memory card using a computer.
• The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another
device into this camera, be sure to format it with this camera. We
recommend formatting new memory cards with this camera before using
them with this camera.
• Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images
and other data on the memory card. If there is data saved on the memory
card that you wish to keep, copy that data to a computer before formatting.
• If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when
the camera is turned on, the memory card must be formatted. If there is data
on the memory card that you do not want to delete, select No and press the
k button. Copy that data to a computer before formatting. To format the
memory card, select Yes.
• Observe the following precautions while formatting the memory card,
saving and deleting images, and copying images to a computer, otherwise
data or the memory card itself may be damaged.
- Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the
memory card or battery.

Lens
Avoid touching glass parts 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 end). 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
at the center of them and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean
the lens using a 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 other sandy or dusty
environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly
dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign
matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the
warranty.
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Be sure that the power-on lamp is off
before putting the camera away. Remove the battery if the camera will not be
used for an extended period. Do not store the camera with naphtha or
camphor moth balls, or in any of the following locations:
• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
• Exposed to temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above 50°C (122°F)
• Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%
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.
For storing the battery, follow the precautions in “The Battery” (F3) in “Caring
for the Product” (F2).
