Introduction

Disposing of Data Storage Devices

Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory

cards 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 format the device, set Record

location data to Off in Location data options (E94), and then completely refill

it with images containing no private information (for example, images of empty sky).

Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically

destroying data storage devices.

For the COOLPIX P900, 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.

To delete the Wi-Fi settings, select Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi options

menu (E92).

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 licence-

exempt 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 of 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.

Tone level information display

You can check for loss of contrast detail in highlights and shadows from the

histogram that is displayed, or the flashing display for each tone level. These

provide guidelines when adjusting the image brightness with functions such

as exposure compensation.

A histogram is a graph showing the distribution of tones in the image. The

horizontal axis corresponds to pixel brightness, with dark tones to the left and

bright tones to the right. The vertical axis shows the number of pixels.

The tone level indicates the brightness level. When the tone level to check is

selected using the multi selector JK or rotating it, the area of the image that

corresponds to the selected tone level flashes.

Preparing for Shooting

B Lens Cap

At times when you are not shooting images, attach the lens cap to the lens to

protect it.

How to Attach the Camera Strap and Lens

Cap

Attach the strap at two places.

Preparing for Shooting

• With the battery’s positive and negative terminals oriented correctly, move

the orange battery latch (3), and fully insert the battery (4).

• Slide the memory card in until it clicks into place (5).

• Be careful not to insert the battery or memory card upside-down or

backward, as this could cause a malfunction.

B Formatting a Memory Card

The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device

into this camera, make sure to format it with this camera. Insert the memory

card into the camera, press the d button, and select Format card in the

setup menu (A57).

Removing the Battery or Memory Card

Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and monitor have

turned off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.

• Move the battery latch to eject the battery.

• Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory

card.

• Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card

immediately after using the camera, as they may become hot.

Insert the Battery and Memory Card

Battery latch

Memory card slot

Preparing for Shooting

1 With the battery installed, connect the camera to an

electrical outlet.

If a plug adapter* is included with your camera, securely connect it to the

Charging AC Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly

remove the plug adapter could damage the product.

* The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in

which the camera was purchased.

This step can be omitted if the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to

the charging AC adapter.

• The power-on lamp (charge lamp) slowly flashes green to indicate that the

battery is charging.

• When charging is complete, the power-on lamp turns off. It takes about

3 hours and 40 minutes to charge a fully exhausted battery.

• The battery cannot be charged when the power-on lamp quickly flashes

green, possibly due to one of the reasons described below.

- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging.

- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.

- The battery is damaged.

2 Disconnect the charging AC adapter from the electrical

outlet and then disconnect the USB cable.

Preparing for Shooting

B Notes About the USB Cable

• Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the

UC-E21 could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.

• Make sure that the plugs are properly oriented. Do not insert or remove the plugs

at an angle when connecting or disconnecting them.

B Notes About Charging the Battery

Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other

than the EH-71P/EH-71PCH/EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter, and do not use

a commercially available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone.

Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the

camera.

C Charging Using a Computer or Battery Charger

• You can also charge the battery by connecting the camera to a computer.

• You can use the MH-67P Battery Charger (available separately) to charge the

battery without using the camera.

Preparing for Shooting

Changing the orientation of the monitor is useful when shooting with the

camera in a high or a low position, or when taking selfies.

For normal shooting, fold the monitor against the camera body with the screen

facing out (3).

When you are not using or carrying the

camera, fold the monitor against the

camera body with the screen facing inward

to prevent scratches or contamination.

B Notes About the Monitor

When moving the monitor, do not apply excessive force and turn slowly within the

monitor’s adjustable range so that the connection will not be damaged.

Opening and Adjusting the Angle of the

Monitor

Preparing for Shooting

When the camera is turned on for the first time, the language-selection screen

and the date and time setting screen for the camera clock are displayed.

• You can change these settings using the Language and Time zone and date

settings in the z setup menu (A57).

• You can enable or disable daylight saving time in the z setup menu by selecting

Time zone and date followed by Time zone. Enabling day light saving time

moves the clock forward one hour, and disabling it moves the clock back one hour.

C The Clock Battery

• The camera’s clock is powered by a built-in backup battery.

The backup battery charges when the main battery is inserted into the camera or

when the camera is connected to an optional AC adapter, and it can run the clock

for several days after about 10 hours of charging.

• If the camera’s backup battery becomes exhausted, the date and time setting

screen is displayed when the camera is turned on. Set the date and time again

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies

The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing

the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do

not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or 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.

C The Auto Off Function

• When no operations are performed for about one minute, the monitor turns off,

the camera enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The

camera turns off after remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.

• To turn the monitor back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an

operation such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.

- When shooting in dim lighting with the flash mode set to W (off)

- When the zoom is at a telephoto position

• When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Vibration

reduction to Off in the setup menu (A57) to prevent potential errors caused by

this function.

Using the Flash

In situations where a flash is needed, such as in

dark locations or when the subject is backlit,

press the m (flash pop-up) button to raise the

flash.

• When not using the flash, gently push to

lower the flash until it clicks shut.

Basic Shooting and Playback Operations

The focus area varies depending on the shooting mode.

Using Target Finding AF

In A (auto) mode, or when AF area mode (A52) in j, k, l, m or M mode

is set to Target finding AF, the camera focuses in the manner described

below when you press the shutter-release button halfway.

• The camera detects the main subject and

focuses on it. When the subject is in focus,

the focus area is displayed in green. If a

human face is detected, the camera

automatically sets focus priority on it.

• If no main subject is detected, the camera

automatically selects one or more of the 9

focus areas containing the subject closest to

the camera. When the subject is in focus, the

focus areas that are in focus are displayed in

green.

B Notes About Target Finding AF

• Depending on shooting conditions, the subject that the camera determines to be

the main subject may vary.

• The main subject may not be detected when using certain White balance or

Picture Control settings.

• The camera may not detect the main subject appropriately in the following

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 on the edge of the monitor

- When the main subject is composed of a repeating pattern

Portrait scene mode (A27)

• a (smile timer) (A39)

• When AF area mode (A52) is set to Face

priority

If the camera detects more than one face, a double border is displayed around

the face that the camera focuses on, and single borders are displayed around

the other faces.

If the shutter-release button is pressed halfway when no faces are detected:

• When Scene auto selector is selected, the focus area changes depending

on the scene.

• In s (night portrait) and Portrait, the camera focuses on the area in the

center of the frame.

• When a (smile timer) is selected, the camera focuses on the subject in the

center of the frame.

• When AF area mode is set to Face priority, the camera selects the focus

area containing the subject closest to the camera.

B Notes About Face Detection

• The camera’s ability to detect faces depends on a variety of factors, including the

direction in which the faces are looking.

• The camera cannot 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 Viewing Images Captured Using Face Detection

During playback, the camera automatically rotates images according to the

orientation of the faces that were detected at the time of shooting (except for

images captured using Continuous (A52) or Exposure bracketing (A52)).

Using Skin Softening

When the shutter is released while using one of the shooting modes listed

below, the camera detects human faces and processes the image to soften

facial skin tones (up to 3 faces).

• s (night portrait), Scene auto selector or Portrait scene mode (A27)

Skin softening can also be applied to saved images (A55).

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.

Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus

The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In rare cases,

the subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus

indicator is displayed in 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

(E21).

The camera can also focus using manual focus (A41, 42).

Notes About Movie Recording

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies

The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing

the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do

not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or 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 Recorded Movies

• The zoom indicator is not displayed during movie recording.

• There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. If you

zoom in on the subject while recording a movie, the zoom motion temporarily

stops at the position where optical zoom is changed to digital zoom.

•

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 sodium-vapor

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, colored

stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows,

etc.) 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.

B Notes About Autofocus for Movie Recording

Autofocus may not perform as expected (E20). Should this occur, focus using

manual focus (A41, 42) or try the following:

1. Set

Autofocus mode

in the movie menu to Single AF (default setting) 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) button to start

recording, and modify the composition.

E35

Reference Section

If the shutter-release button is pressed all the

way while recording a movie, one frame is saved

Reference Section

B Notes About Location Data Functions

• Before using the location data functions, read “<Important> Notes About Location

Data Functions (GPS/GLONASS)” (Axi).

• 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.

Using the latest A-GPS file can shorten the time needed for obtaining the location

data (E94).

• 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 (A2) 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 when location data is obtained will be recorded on images, but it 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 (E42) 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.

E41

Reference Section

C Points of Interest (POI) Information

• POI information is location name information for

landmarks (facilities) and other details.

• When Display POI in Points of interest (POI)

(E96) of the location data options menu is set

to On, the nearest location name information for

the current position is displayed during shooting

(only when positioning is being performed).

• When Embed POI is set to On, location name

information can be recorded on the image

during shooting (only when positioning is being

performed).

• If the location name information was recorded on the image during shooting, this

information is displayed when Display POI is set to On during playback.

• The location name information may not be displayed depending on the setting

level in Level of detail of Points of interest (POI). Also, certain landmark names

may not be registered, or the landmark name may be different.

C Images with Recorded Location Data

• The z icon is displayed during playback for images which have the location data

recorded (A7).

• Images which have the location data recorded can be checked on a map with

ViewNX-i after transferring them to a computer (E53).

• The actual place of shooting may differ from the location data recorded on the

image files due to the accuracy of the location data obtained and a difference in

the geodetic system used.

• The location data and POI information recorded on images can be erased using

Erase location data in Location data options (E94). The erased information

cannot be recovered.

B Notes About Vibration Reduction

• After turning on the camera or after switching from playback mode to shooting

mode, wait for the shooting mode screen to be displayed completely before

taking pictures.

• Images in the camera monitor may be displayed blurry immediately after shooting.

Option Description

Normal

(default setting)

Compensates camera shake that commonly occurs when

shooting at telephoto zoom positions or slow shutter

speeds. The camera automatically detects the panning

direction and only compensates for vibration caused by

camera shake.

When the camera is panned horizontally, for example,

vibration reduction only reduces vertical shake. If the

camera is panned vertically, vibration reduction only

compensates for horizontal shake.

Z Active

Camera shake is automatically compensated during

shooting if a comparatively large camera shake is likely to

occur when shooting from a car or under poor foothold

conditions.

Off

Compensation is not performed.

Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For

Your Safety” (Avi-viii) when using or storing the device.

The Camera

Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition,

do not touch or apply force to the lens or lens cover.

Keep Dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.

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.

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. Doing so could result in loss of data or

camera malfunction.

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 the image sensor to

deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs.

Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting

or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data

or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.

Caring for the Product

Technical Notes and Index

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.

• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.

• Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction.

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.

Do not Attach a Commercially Available Step-up Ring, Etc.

to the Lens

Attaching accessories other than the provided lens cap or the Nikon 67mm screw-on

filter could cause a malfunction.

The Battery

Precautions for Use

• Note that the battery may become hot after use.

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

(104°F) as this could cause damage or malfunction.

• If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell

coming from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or

Nikon-authorized service representative.

• After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the

battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.

Charging the Battery

Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if

necessary.

• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to

95°F) before use.

• A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or

completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may

become hot after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging.

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 50°C (122°F).

• Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in

reduced battery performance.

• The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a

malfunction.

Carrying Spare Batteries

Whenever possible, carry fully charged spare batteries when taking pictures on

important occasions.

Technical Notes and Index

Using the Battery When Cold

On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is used

at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a warm place

and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

Battery Terminals

Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the

battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.

Charging an Exhausted Battery

Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera

may result in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.

Storing the Battery

• Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is

not being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in

the camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and

complete loss of function.

• Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it

before returning it to storage.

• Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place.

The battery should be stored in a dry 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.

Battery Life

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.

Recycling Used Batteries

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.

The Charging AC Adapter

• The EH-71P/EH-71PCH/EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter is for use only with

compatible devices. Do not use with another make or model of device.

• Do not use any USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the

UC-E21 could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.

•

Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than

the EH-71P/EH-71PCH/EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a

commercially available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure

to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

• The EH-71P/EH-71PCH/EH-73P/EH-73PCH is compatible with AC 100–240 V, 50/60

Hz electrical outlets. When using in other countries, use a plug adapter

(commercially available) as necessary. For more information about plug adapters,

consult your travel agency.

Memory Cards

Precautions for Use

• Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See “Approved Memory Cards” (F20) for

recommended memory cards.

• Be sure to follow the precautions described in the documentation included with

the memory card.

• Do not put labels or stickers on memory cards.

Formatting

• 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. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish

to keep before formatting the memory card.

• 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 that you

do not want to delete, select No. Copy the necessary data to a computer, etc. If you

want to format the memory card, select Yes. The confirmation dialog will be

displayed. To start formatting, press the k button.

• Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to or

deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure to

observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the camera

or memory card:

- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the battery

or memory card.

- Turn off the camera.

- Disconnect the AC adapter.

Technical Notes and Index

Cleaning

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

Storage

Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period. 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. Do not store the camera in any of the following locations:

• Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%

• Exposed to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below –10°C (14°F)

• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as

televisions or radios

For storing the battery, follow the precautions in “The Battery” (F3) in “Caring

for the Product” (F2).

Cleaning and Storage

Lens/

viewfinder

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.

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.
