Digital Zoom and Image Quality
If possible, digital zoom will create a picture by cropping the area visible in the monitor to the
current image mode ( A 66), increasing magnification without affecting quality. If the crop would be
smaller than the current image mode, additional pixels are added through a process known as interpolation, creating a slightly “grainy” image. The amount of zoom available before interpolation is used depends on the option currently selected for image mode, as shown in the following table.
Maximum Zoom Ratio without Interpolation

Zoom ratio
9× (digital zoom up to
3.0×) g
4.2× (digital zoom up to
1.4×) k
12× (digital zoom up to

Step 3 Focus and Shoot
1
Press the shutter-release button halfway.
The camera focuses on the subject overlapping the focus area in the center of the monitor.
When the subject is in focus, the focus area and focus indicator ( Q ) glow green.
When the camera is unable to focus, the focus area and focus indicator blink red. Change the composition and try again.
2
Press the shutter-release button the rest of the way down.
The picture will be recorded to the memory card or internal memory.
B
During Recording
While pictures are being recorded, the O (wait) icon will be displayed and the C or X icon will blink.
Do not turn the camera off, open the battery-chamber cover and the memory card slot cover, eject the memory card, or remove or disconnect the power source while these icons are displayed.

Step 3 Focus and Shoot
B
Autofocus
Autofocus may not perform as expected in the following situations. In some rare cases, the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the active focus area and the focus indicator glow green:
• Subject is very dark
• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun is behind the subject and is in deep shadow)
• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. when the subject is standing in front of a white wall, wearing a white shirt)
• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside a cage)
• 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 and use focus lock. When using focus lock, be sure that the distance between the camera and the subject with which focus was locked is the same as that for the actual subject.
D
Focus Lock
To focus on off-center subject, use focus lock as described blow.
• Be sure that the distance between the camera and the subject does not change while focus is locked.
Position the subject in the center of the frame.
Press the shutterrelease button halfway.
Confirm that the focus indicator
( Q ) is green.
Continue holding down the shutterrelease button halfway and recompose the picture.
Press the shutterrelease button the rest of the way down.

• Place the camera on a flat, level surface or use a tripod (recommended).
• The E symbol is displayed when the camera automatically increases sensitivity. Pictures taken when E is displayed may be slightly mottled.
B
Note on Using the Flash
When using the flash at a wide-angle zoom position, reflections from dust particles in the air may appear as bright spots in pictures. To reduce these reflections, set the flash to W (Off) or zoom in on the subject.
C
The Flash Lamp
The flash lamp indicates flash status when the shutterrelease button is pressed halfway.
• On : Flash will fire when picture is taken.
• Blinks : Flash charging. Wait a few seconds and try again.
• Off : Flash will not fire when picture is taken.
Flash lamp
After the picture is taken with flash, the monitor turns off and the flash lamp blinks until the flash is completely charged. You can set the monitor not to turn off automatically while the flash is charged
C
The Flash Mode Setting
The default setting is U (auto). (except for the one-touch portrait mode and a part of Scene mode)
In any flash mode other than A (auto) mode, switching to another shooting mode or turning the camera off restores the default flash setting for all modes.
C
Red-eye Reduction
The COOLPIX L14 is equipped with an advanced red-eye reduction system. Pre-flashes are fired several times at low intensity before the main flash, to reduce “red-eye.” If the camera detects “redeye” after a picture is taken, Nikon’s own In-Camera Red Eye Fix processes the image as it is recorded.
Therefore, there is a slight delay before the shutter-release button operates normally to take another picture. Note the following when using red-eye reduction:
• Not recommended for when shutter-release timing is essential.
• It takes a longer time than usual to start the next shooting.
• Red-eye reduction may not always produce the desired results.
• In some rare cases, other portions of pictures may be affected.
Use flash modes other than auto with red-eye reduction in above cases.
27

C
Exposure Compensation Value
Switching to another shooting mode or turning the camera off returns exposure compensation setting other than that for A (auto) mode to [0.0].
30
D
Using Exposure Compensation
The camera tends to lower exposure when the frame is dominated by brightly lit objects and to increase exposure when the frame is mostly dark. Positive compensation may therefore be required to capture the brilliancy of very bright objects that fill the frame (for example, sunlit expanses of water, sand, or snow) or when the background is much brighter than the main subject. Negative compensation may be called for when large areas of the frame contain very dark objects (for example, a swath of dark green leaves) or when the background is much darker than the main subject.

Face-Priority AF
• If no face is recognized when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera focuses on the center of the frame.
• The camera may be unable to detect faces in the following situations:
- When faces are partially hidden by sunglasses or other obstructions
- When the subject is not looking directly at the camera
- When faces take up too much or too little of the frame
• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including whether or not the subject is facing the camera.
• If the yellow double border blinks when the shutter-release button is pressed halfway, the camera was unable to focus. Release the button and try again.
•
In some rare cases shooting subjects with which autofocus may not perform as expected ( A 23),
the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the double border glows green. Should this occur, switch to A (auto) mode, refocus on another subject positioned at the same distance from
the camera as the actual portrait subject, and use focus lock ( A 23).

White Balance
The color of light reflected from an object varies with the color of the light source.
The human brain is able to adapt to changes in the color of the light source, with the result that white objects appear white whether seen in the shade, direct sunlight, or under incandescent lighting. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This is known as “white balance.” For natural coloration, choose a white balance setting that matches the light source before shooting. Although the default setting,
[Auto], can be used under most types of lighting, you can apply the white balance setting suited to a particular light source to achieve more accurate results.
a Auto (default setting)
White balance automatically adjusted to suit lighting conditions. Best choice in most situations.
b Preset manual c
Neutral-colored object used as reference to set white balance under unusual lighting conditions.
See, “Preset Manual” ( A 69) for more information.

• Files are stored in folders named with a folder number followed by a fivecharacter identifier: “P_” plus a three-digit sequence number for pictures taken using panorama assist (
A 38) (e.g. “101P_001”) and file numbers will be
assigned automatically starting with “0001.”
•
If files are copied between the internal memory and the memory card ( A 92),
the files are named as follows.
• [Selected images]: The image data is copied in the using folder (or the folder to be used in the next time shooting). The newly copied pictures are numbered consecutively from the largest number available in the internal memory or memory card.
• [All images]: All the pictures in the folder are copied with the same file numbers. New folder numbers are assigned in ascending order starting from the largest folder number available. The file names are not changed.
• If a picture is taken when the current folder is numbered 999 and contains 200 pictures or a picture numbered 9999, no further pictures can be taken until the memory card is replaced with a new one or the medium is formatted (

Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following precautions when using or storing the device.
B
Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
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. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
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 CCD image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.
B
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.
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
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 an AC adapter is connected.
Caring for the Camera
C
Batteries
• Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and replace the batteries if necessary (
If possible, carry spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh 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.
• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.
• Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Caring for the Camera
Cleaning
Lens
Monitor
Body
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 the lens and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.
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.
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 salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is off before putting the camera away. Remove the batteries if the camera will not be used for an extended period. Do not store the camera with naptha 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)
• Poorly ventilated or 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.

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 displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded using the product will not be affected.
• When framing bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may appear in the display. 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 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.
