i
Notices/For Your Safety
To prevent damage to your Nikon product or injury to yourself or to others, read
the following safety precautions in their entirety before using this equipment.
Keep these safety instructions where all those who use the product will read them.
Notices/For Your Safety
• Do not expose batteries to flame
or to excessive heat.
• Do not immerse in or expose to water.
• Do not transport or store with metal
objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
• Batteries are prone to leakage when
fully discharged. To avoid damage to
the product, be sure to remove the
batteries when no charge remains.
• When the battery is not in use, at
tach the terminal cover and store in
a cool place.
• Immediately after use, or when the
product is used on battery power
for an extended period, the batteries may become hot. Before removing the batteries, turn the camera
off and allow the batteries to cool.
• Discontinue use immediately
should you notice any changes in
the batteries, such as discoloration or deformation.
Use appropriate cables
When connecting cables to the
input and output jacks, use only the
cables provided or sold by Nikon for
the purpose, to maintain compliance with product regulations.
Keep out of reach of children
Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the batteries
or other small parts into their mouths.
Removing memory cards
Memory cards may become hot during
use. Observe due caution when removing memory cards from the camera.
ii
CD-ROMs
The CD-ROMs on which the software
and manuals are distributed should
not be played back on audio CD
equipment. Playing CD-ROMs on an
audio CD player could cause hearing
loss or damage the equipment.
Observe caution when operating the flash
Using the flash close to your subject's eyes could cause temporary
visual impairment. Particular care
should be observed if photographing infants, when the flash should
be no less than one meter (39″)
from the subject.
Avoid contact with liquid crystal
Should the monitor break, care
should be taken to avoid injury due
to broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or
mouth.
Cautions
Keep dry
Do not drop
The device will be damaged if
immersed in water or subjected to
high levels of moisture.
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.
Handle the lens and all moving
parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens or
lens cover, or to the connector, card
slot, or battery chamber covers.
These parts are especially susceptible to damage.
Turn the product off before
removing or disconnecting the
power source
Do not unplug the product or
remove the batteries while the
product is on, or while images are
being recorded or deleted. Forcibly
cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data
or in damage to product memory or
internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption of power, avoid
carrying the product from one
place to another while the AC
adapter (available separately) is
connected.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields
Do not use or store this device in
the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static
charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio
transmitters could interfere with the
monitor, damage data stored on the
memory card, or affect the product's internal circuitry.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature,
such as occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day,
can cause condensation 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.
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 in the CCD
image sensor, producing a white
blur effect in photographs.

Inserting Batteries
Replacing Batteries
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp has gone out before removing or inserting batteries.
Read Battery Warnings
Read and follow all warnings and instructions supplied by the battery manufacturer.
Damaged Batteries
The following batteries can not be used:
• Batteries with peeling or damaged insulation. Using batteries with damaged insulation could result in leakage, overheating, or rupture. Note that due to manufacturing
defects even new batteries may have faulty insulation.
• Batteries with insulation that covers only the sides of the
battery and not the area around the negative terminal.
• Batteries with a flat negative terminal. Do not use such batteries even if the insulation adequately covers the area
around the negative terminal.
Alkaline Batteries
EN-MH1 Batteries
Using an MH-70 battery charger, charge EN-MH1 batteries before first use. Charge each pair of
batteries at the same time — do not charge batteries one at a time or mix batteries with different
charges. Note that EN-MH1 batteries may discharge quickly immediately after purchase or after the
batteries have been left unused for an extended period. This is normal, and the batteries will retain
a charge for longer periods after being used and recharged several times. For more information on
charging batteries, see the documentation provided with the MH-70.
Alternative Power Sources
• To power the camera continuously for extended periods, use an EH-62B AC adapter (Q
97). Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
• We recommend that you buy CR-V3 lithium batteries as a back-up power source.
9
First Steps
Performance of alkaline batteries may vary greatly depending on the manufacturer. Choose a reliable brand.
Inserting Memory Cards
Pictures can be stored in the camera's internal memory (about 14.5 MB) or on
Secure Digital (SD) memory card. If no memory card has been inserted in the
camera, pictures will be stored in the memory, and if the camera contains a memory card, then pictures will automatically be stored on the card.
To store pictures in the internal memory, remove the memory card.

Frame your subject
Your Nikon digital camera is equipped with two
types of built-in zoom: optical zoom, in which the
camera's telescoping lens can be used to magnify the
subject up to 3 ×, and digital zoom, in which digital
processing is used to further magnify the image up
to 4 ×, for a total of 12 ×. Use the zoom buttons to
frame your subject in the center of the monitor:
• Press the l (W) button to zoom out from
your subject, increasing the area visible in the
frame.
• Press the O (T) button to zoom in on your subject so that it fills a larger area of the frame.
• When the camera is zoomed in to maximum
magnification, holding the O (T) button down
for about one second will trigger digital zoom.
The zoom indicator will turn yellow, and the
green (AF) lamp next to the viewfinder will
blink. Use the O (T) and l (W) buttons to adjust zoom in the digital zoom range. To cancel
digital zoom, press l (W) until the zoom indicator turns white.
Step 2 - Frame the Picture
Digital Zoom
In digital zoom, data from the camera's image sensor are processed digitally, enlarging the center
portion of the picture to fill the frame. Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the
amount of detail visible in the picture. Instead, details visible at maximum optical zoom are simply
enlarged, producing a slightly "grainy" image. Note that the effects of digital zoom are not visible
in the viewfinder - use the monitor when framing pictures with digital zoom. Digital zoom is not
available when the monitor is off or when Multi-Shot 16 is selected in the CONTINUOUS menu
(Q 68).
When Lighting Is Poor
When lighting is poor, sensitivity is raised to compensate and the image in the monitor may be
slightly mottled. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.
Monitor or Viewfinder?
Use the monitor to confirm camera settings at a glance while at the same time viewing an image
that shows how the final picture will appear. This is particularly useful when the image in the viewfinder does not accurately reflect what will appear in the final picture, for example when:
• your subject is less than a meter (3´3”) from the camera
• digital zoom is in effect
Use the viewfinder when you want to save power by turning the monitor off (Q 5), or when
bright ambient lighting makes it difficult to see the display in the monitor.

Step 3 - Focus and Shoot
1
Focus
Press the shutter-release button halfway to set focus and exposure. In P mode, the camera will
automatically focus on the subject at the center of
the frame. Focus and exposure will lock while the
shutter-release button is pressed halfway.
With the shutter-release button pressed halfway,
check focus and flash. Focus is indicated by the
green AF (autofocus) lamp next to the viewfinder
and by the focus indicator in the monitor. Flash
status is indicated by the red ! (flash-ready) lamp
next to the viewfinder.

shutter-release button down smoothly. You can
choose whether or not to display the camera
shake warning. (Q 25).

Step 3 - Focus and Shoot
During Recording
While pictures are being recorded to the memory or memory card, the green (AF) lamp blinks, and
the < icon lights or the memory icon }// blinks. You can continue to take pictures until the <
icon is displayed. Do not turn the camera off, eject the memory card, or remove or disconnect the power source while picture are being recorded. Cutting power or removing the
memory card in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.
Getting Good Results with Autofocus
Autofocus performs best when there is contrast between the subject and the background and the
subject is evenly lit. It does not perform well if the subject is very dark or moving rapidly, if there are
objects of sharply differing brightness in the scene (e.g., the sun is behind your subject and their
features are in deep shadow), or if there are several objects at different distances from the camera
at the center of the frame (e.g., your subject is inside a cage).
Focusing on Off-Center Subjects: Focus Lock
If your subject is not at the center of the frame when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway,
your picture may be out of focus. To focus on an off-center subject:

Pictures are stored in folders created automatically by the camera and named with a three-digit folder number followed by "NIKON" (e.g., "100NIKON"). Folders can hold up to 200 pictures; if you
take a picture when the current folder contains 200 pictures, a new folder will be created by adding
one to the current folder number. If you take a picture when the current folder contains a picture
numbered 9999, a new folder will be created and file numbering will begin again from 0001. If the
number of files reaches 200 or file numbering reaches 9999 when the memory or memory card
contains a folder numbered 999, no further pictures can be taken until the memory or memory card
has been formatted (Q 93) or a new memory card inserted.

Flash Range
Flash range varies with zoom position. When the camera is zoomed all the way out, the flash has a
range of 0.4 - 3.4 m (1´4” - 11´2”) with E3200 and 0.4 - 3.7 m (1´4” - 12´2”) with E2200. The range
at maximum zoom is 0.4 - 2.0 m (1´4” - 6´6”) with E3200 and E2200.
Close-Ups
The flash may not be able to light the entire subject at distances of less than 40 cm (1´4”). When
taking close-ups, play each picture back after shooting to check the results.
Flash Mode Selection
In P (auto) mode, the camera "remembers" the current flash mode setting even when the camera is turned off. The most recent setting will automatically be restored whenever the mode dial is
set to P unless the Reset all option in the setup menu is used to restore the default setting (Q
94).
Depending on the mode selected, the flash mode may change automatically when you
choose a new shooting mode (Q 28-39).
The AF-Assist Illuminator (E3200 only)
The E3200 is equipped with an AF-assist illuminator. If lighting is poor, the built-in AF-assist illuminator will light when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, allowing the camera to focus
even when the subject is poorly lit. When the camera is zoomed all the way out, the AF-assist illuminator has a range of 0.4 – 2.0m (1’4” – 6’7”). The range at maximum zoom is 0.4 – 1.4m (1’4”
– 4’6”). In scene mode (Q 28-39), the AF-assist illuminator is only available in i (Portrait), m
(Night Portrait) and B (Party/Indoor) modes without the framing assist option (Q 29-33), and in
C (Beach/Snow), D (Sunset), I (Copy), J (Back light) and K (Panorama assist) modes.

More on Photography
"Sensitivity" is a measure of how quickly the camera responds to light.
Your Nikon digital camera normally has a sensitivity roughly equivalent to
film with an ISO 50 rating. When lighting is poor and the flash is off ($),
the camera will automatically increase sensitivity, permitting faster exposures and minimizing blur caused by inadvertent camera movement (camera shake). An ISO icon will appear in the monitor to warn that the picture
may be slightly mottled.
Taking a Self-Portrait: Using the Self-Timer

White Balance
White balance
The color of the light reflected from an object varies
WHITE BALANCE 1/3
with the color of the light source. The human brain is
able to adapt to such changes in color, with the result
Auto
that we see white objects as white, regardless of
White bal. preset
whether they are in the shade, direct sunlight, or under
incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this
Daylight
adjustment by processing information from the camera’s image sensor (CCD) according to the color of the
light source. This process is known as a "white balance adjustment."
• If you cannot achieve the desired white balance with Auto (M) or you want to
lock the white balance for a specific light source or shooting conditions,
choose a setting other than Auto (M).
• When the white balance setting is changed, the new setting is reflected in the
picture in the monitor.

As a rule of thumb, select positive values when large areas of the frame are very brightly lit (for example, when photographing an expanse of sunlit water, sand, or snow) or when the background
is much brighter than the main subject. Choose negative values when large areas of the frame are
very dark (for example, when photographing a forest of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main subject. This is because the camera, in order to avoid extreme
over- or under-exposure, tends to lower exposure when the frame is very bright and raise exposure
when the frame is very dark, which can make naturally bright subjects look dim and naturally dark
subjects appear over-bright, or "washed out."

pictures when image mode is set to c Normal (1600).
When shutter-release button is pressed all the way, camera takes
sixteen consecutive images at rate of about three frames every two
seconds. With E3200, up to five series of images can be taken, and
Multi-Shot 16 with E2200, one series can be taken. The sixteen images are
arranged in four rows of four images and saved as a single picture.

Caring for Your Camera
Cleaning
Lens
One key to cleaning the lens is to not touch it with your fingers. Remove dust or
lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end
that you pump to produce a stream of air out the other). To remove fingerprints
or other stains that can not be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft
cloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to
the edges.
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.
Avoid contact with liquid crystal
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken
glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
Body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt with a
cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly.
Technical Notes
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images
recorded using the product will not be affected.
• When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end
may appear in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as "smear," does not appear in the
final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlit. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact
your Nikon service representative.
98
Caring for Your Camera
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp is off before putting the camera away. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a
dry, well-ventilated area. If you will not be using the product for long periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not store the camera case (available separately) in a plastic
bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradually
loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals.
Do not store your camera with naptha or camphor moth balls or in locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or damp
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures below -10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F; for
example near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a sunny day)
• are subject to humidities 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.
Store the batteries in a cool, dry place.
Batteries
• If the battery terminals are dirty, wipe
them off with a clean, dry cloth before
use.
• Repeatedly recharging NiMH batteries before they are fully exhausted may result in
a "memory" effect, causing the batteries
to lose their charge quickly. The batteries
will return to normal after being fully discharged and recharged.
• NiMH batteries gradually lose their charge
when left unused. We recommend that
you charge NiMH batteries immediately
before use.
• Used batteries are a valuable resource.
Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
99
Technical Notes
• When turning the camera on, check that
the batteries are charged. The monitor
will display a warning when batteries are
low.
• Carry a fresh CR-V3 battery as a replacement when taking pictures on important
occasions.You may find it difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice.
• On cold days, the capacity of batteries
tends to decrease. Be sure that the batteries are fully charged 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 may recover some of its
charge.

Troubleshooting
If your camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems
below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative. Refer to the page
numbers listed in the right-most column for information on solving the problems
listed here.
Electronically-Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the camera
may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static
charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the batteries, and turn the camera on
again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (available separately), disconnect and reconnect
the adapter, and turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact
your retailer or Nikon representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described
above may result in the loss of any data not recorded to the memory or memory card at the
time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory or memory card will not
be affected.
