Caring for the Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in For Your Safety (A26) 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 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 products 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.

Notices 32

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.

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.

B About the Manuals Nikon will not be held liable for any damages resulting from the use of this product.

Notices 33

Before Taking Important Pictures Before taking pictures on important occasions (such as at weddings or before taking the camera on a trip), take a test shot to ensure that the camera is functioning normally. Nikon will not be held liable for damages or lost profits that may result from product malfunction.

Disposing of Data Storage Devices 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 users 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 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. 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.

Notices 34

Notes About Location Data Functions (GPS/ GLONASS, Electronic Compass) 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 (A39) 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 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. 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

Notices 35

them to a network such as the Internet where the public can view them. Make sure to read Disposing of Data Storage Devices (A33).

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.

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).
