Product Documentation

CAUTION: Foreign Matter on the CCD

Nikon takes every possible precaution to prevent foreign matter from coming into con-

tact with the CCD during production and shipping. The D100, however, is designed to

be used with interchangeable lenses, and foreign matter may enter the camera when

lenses are removed or exchanged. Once inside the camera, this foreign matter may

adhere to the CCD, where it may appear in photographs taken under certain conditions.

To prevent foreign matter from entering the camera, do not exchange lenses in dusty

environments. To protect the camera when no lens is in place, be sure to replace the

body cap provided with the camera, being careful to first remove all dust and other foreign

matter that may be adhering to the body cap.

Should foreign matter find its way onto the CCD, clean the CCD as instructed on pages

186–187 of this manual, or have the CCD cleaned by authorized Nikon service person-

nel. Photographs affected by the presence of foreign matter on the CCD can be re-

touched using the clean image options available in some third-party imaging software.

The consequences that could result from failure to observe the precautions listed

in this section are indicated by the following symbol:

WARNINGS

Do not look at the sun through the

viewfinder

Viewing the sun or other strong light

source through the viewfinder could

cause permanent visual impairment.

Turn off immediately in the event

of malfunction

Should you notice smoke or an un-

usual smell coming from the equip-

ment or from the AC adapter (avail-

able separately), unplug the AC

adapter and remove the battery im-

mediately, taking care to avoid burns.

Continued operation could result in

injury. After removing the battery,

take the equipment to a Nikon-autho-

rized service center for inspection.

Do not use in the presence of flam-

mable gas

Do not use electronic equipment in

the presence of flammable gas, as this

could result in explosion or fire.

Do not place strap around neck

Placing the camera strap around your

neck could result in strangulation.

Special care should be taken to avoid

placing the strap around the neck of

an infant or child.

Do not disassemble

Touching the product’s internal parts

could result in injury. In the event of

a malfunction, the product should be

repaired only by a qualified technician.

Should the product break open as the

result of a fall or other accident, re-

move the battery and/or AC adapter

and then take the product to a Nikon-

authorized service center for inspec-

tion.

Observe proper precautions when

handling batteries

Batteries may leak or explode if im-

properly handled. Observe the follow-

ing precautions when handling batter-

ies for use in this product:

• Be sure the product is off before re-

placing the battery. If you are using an

AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.

• Use only batteries approved for use in

this equipment.

• Do not attempt to insert the battery

upside down or backwards.

• Do not short or disassemble the bat-

tery.

• Do not expose the battery 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.

For Your Safety

This icon marks warnings, information that should be read before us-

ing your Nikon product to prevent possible injury.

iii

• Batteries are prone to leakage when

fully discharged. To avoid damage to

the product, be sure to remove the

battery when no charge remains.

• When the battery is not in use, attach

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 battery may

become hot. Before removing the

battery, turn the camera off and allow

the battery to cool.

• Discontinue use immediately should

you notice any changes in the battery,

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 pur-

pose, to maintain compliance with

product regulations.

Keep out of reach of children

Particular care should be taken to pre-

vent infants from putting the battery

or other small parts into their mouths.

Removing memory cards

Memory cards may become hot dur-

ing use. Observe due caution when

removing memory cards from the

camera.

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 im-

pairment. Particular care should be

observed if photographing infants,

when the flash should be no less than

one meter (39˝) from the subject.

When using the viewfinder

When operating the diopter adjust-

ment control with your eye to the

viewfinder, care should be taken not

to put your finger in your eye acciden-

tally.

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 en-

tering the eyes or mouth.

iv

Do not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected

to strong shocks or vibration.

Keep dry

This product is not waterproof, and may

malfunction if immersed in water or ex-

posed to high levels of humidity. Rusting

of the internal mechanism can cause irrepa-

rable damage.

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 conden-

sation inside the device. To prevent con-

densation, 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 vicin-

ity of equipment that generates strong

electromagnetic radiation or magnetic

fields. Strong static charges or the mag-

netic 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 inter-

nal circuitry.

Do not touch the shutter curtain

The shutter curtain is extremely thin and

easily damaged. Under no circumstances

should you exert pressure on the curtain,

poke it with cleaning tools, or subject it to

powerful air currents from a blower. These

actions could scratch, deform, or tear the

curtain.

Handle all moving parts with care

Do not apply force to the battery-chamber,

card-slot, or connector covers. These parts

are especially susceptible to damage.

Cleaning

• When cleaning the camera body, use a

blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe

gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using

your camera at the beach or seaside, wipe

off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly

dampened with pure water and then dry

your camera thoroughly. In rare in-

stances, static electricity produced by a

brush or cloth may cause the LCD displays

to light up or darken. This does not indi-

cate a malfunction, and the display will

shortly return to normal.

• When cleaning the lens and mirror, re-

member that these elements are easily

damaged. Dust and lint should be gen-

tly removed with a blower. When using

an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical

(tilting the can could result in liquid being

sprayed on the mirror). If you do get a

fingerprint or other stain on the lens,

apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a

soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.

• See “Technical Notes: Caring for Your

Camera” for information on cleaning the

CCD.

Storage

• 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 battery to prevent

leakage and store the camera in a plastic

bag containing a desiccant. Do not, how-

ever, store the camera case in a plastic

bag, as this may cause the material to de-

teriorate. Note that desiccant gradually

loses its capacity to absorb moisture and

should be replaced at regular intervals.

• Do not store the camera with naphtha or

camphor moth balls, close to equipment

that produces strong magnetic fields, or

in areas subject to extremes of tempera-

ture, for example near a space heater or

in a closed vehicle on a hot day.

Introduction—Overview

Overview

About This Manual

This manual is designed to help you enjoy taking photographs with the ad-

vanced Nikon D100 single-lens reflex (SLR) digital camera. First-time users

who can’t wait to experience the simplicity and immediacy of digital photog-

raphy can follow the step-by-step instructions in the Quick Start Guide or

read “First Steps” and “Tutorial” in this manual, referring to “Getting to Know

the Camera” for information on the location of camera controls and displays.

Once you have mastered the basics, detailed information on when and how

to use the various camera settings can be found in “Taking Photographs” and

“Menu Guide.” Information on what to do with your pictures once you have

finished shooting is available in “Connections,” which describes how to con-

nect your camera to a television, video-cassette recorder, or computer.

Principal Features

• The D100 is equipped with a large (23.7 × 15.6 mm/0.9˝ × 0.6˝) CCD with

6.1 million effective pixels capable of producing photographs in three dif-

ferent sizes (3008 2000, 2240 1488, and 1504 1000 pixels).× × ×

• Proven elements of the D1-series’ 3D digital matrix image control, includ-

ing precise exposure control based on 3D matrix metering and TTL white

balance for optimum color temperature measurements, have been further

improved for unerring color reproduction and smooth tonal transitions.

• Three color modes, adapted to sRGB or Adobe color spaces, are available

for different work flows.

• Photographs are stored in a temporary memory buffer during shooting,

allowing up to six photographs (or four RAW images) to be recorded at a

rate of approximately three frames per second.

• Noise reduction is available to reduce the occurrence of randomly-spaced,

brightly-colored pixels at shutter speeds of around

1/2s or slower.

• The D100’s built-in Speedlight ensures that you will never miss the chance

for that perfect shot, even when lighting is poor.

• The camera is equipped with an automatic sensitivity adjustment function

that helps ensure optimal exposure when correct exposure can not be

achieved at current settings.

• Twelve-bit output from the camera’s CCD can be saved without modifica-

tion as high-quality RAW data.

• The optional MB-D100 multi function battery pack can expand your camera’s

potential with voice-memo recording and a shutter-release button and

command dials for taking photographs in vertical (portrait) orientation.
