Thank you for purchasing a Nikon Coolpix series digital 
camera. We are sure that it will give you many hours of 
reliable and productive use. Please note that the advanced 
operating information for your Coolpix camera is located 
on the Nikon Reference CD. The camera manuals are opened 
using the Adobe Acrobat reader, which is also included on 
the Nikon View Ver.2 CD. Your may print the entire manual, 
or just the pages you are interested in at any time. We 
suggest copying the Manual PDF files to a directory on your 
local hard disk so they are always available to you.

Please read the following important information, which was 
not included in the manual.

For viewing images taken with the Coolpix digital cameras, 
you have three choices:

- You can remove the Compact Flash card from the camera and 
use a card reader or PCMCIA adapter to mount the card directly 
on your computer.

- You can plug the camera's serial port directly into your 
computer.

-You can plug the camera's video out cable into a video input 
jack of your television.

(please note that your Coolpix digital camera will have PAL or 
NTSC video output, depending on the country of purchase. You 
cannot display video from a US camera (NTSC) on a European 
Television set ( PAL), or a European Camera on a US television.

1. Nikon View Ver.2.
1.1. Nikon View Ver.2 supported cameras 
Nikon View Ver.2 supported cameras are as followings. No other 
Nikon Digital Cameras are supported. You can only have one 
camera connected at a time.
        Nikon DIGITAL CAMERA E950
        Nikon DIGITAL CAMERA E700
        Nikon DIGITAL CAMERA E900/E900s

1.2. Uninstall NikonView 900 Ver 1.x
If you have installed Nikon View 900 1.x on your system for 
the Coolpix 900 or 900s cameras, please uninstall this version 
before attempting to install Nikon View Ver.2. The installer 
program will quit if it detects an installed version of Nikon 
View 1.x on your PC.

1.3. Browse with Nikon View Browser 
The amount of data on your camera memory card is directly 
related to the time it takes for the disk icon to appear on 
your desktop. The more images on the memory card, the longer 
the mounting operation will take. Please take note that 
Nikon View Ver.2 is not a "TWAIN source" and is not available 
under the TWAIN interface selector of any software application. 
Nikon View Ver.2 uses "drag and drop" to move files from the 
Nikon View Ver.2 Browser to your system hard disk or third party 
application. Move files from your Nikon View V2 browser window 
to any application that supports drag and drop using the same 
method you would use to move files from one directory to another 
on your hard disk. You may also copy images from the Nikon View 
Ver.2 browser and then paste them into an open document in your 
imaging application.

1.4. Removal of Serial cable and/or Compact Flash Card from 
the camera
You must unmount the camera disk icon and switch the camera off 
before you remove the serial cable and/or Compact Flash Card 
from your camera.

1.5. Serial Port Conflicts
Other devices and software may prevent the proper operation of 
the Nikon View Ver.2 software. Software for fax modems and for 
Windows CE devices may take control of the serial port and not 
release it for the use of Nikon View Ver.2. Please take the 
appropriate steps to assure that the serial ports on your system 
are not in use by other software before attempting to use 
Nikon View Ver.2. In some cases the serial ports on your PC 
may not be active. This is most common on laptop computers with 
internal modems. If you cannot resolve serial port difficulties 
on a new PC or a laptop PC, check the system bios to determine 
if the serial ports are active. When you first start your system, 
there will be a notice on the screen that indicates the Bios version 
of your PC and the proper key to press to enter setup mode. 
Please consult your system documentation for the appropriate 
steps to take. Please note that making changes in the system 
bios may prevent your PC from booting.

IBM Thinkpad(tm) series laptops use a special utility called  
"Thinkpad Tools" to configure the system bios and serial ports. 
Your PC may also use a special  program to access the bios settings. 
It is most important to consult your hardware documentation.

IBM Thinkpad systems sold prior to 1998 may require a bios and driver 
update before the internal PC card readers will recognize a Compact 
Flash Card.

Make note of the IRQ and I/O address space used by your serial ports 
when you are in the system bios. The support staff will require this 
information in order to assist you in resolving a port conflict. In 
all cases the serial port settings in your operating system MUST match 
those in the system bios, or the serial port will not operate properly.

1.6.In the event of another application failing to operate after 
the installation of Nikon View, you will find the previously installed 
DLLs now have the following names:

Before Nikon View Ver.2		After Nikon View Ver.2
Ltfil70n.dll			Ltfil70n.xxx
Ltkrn70n.dll			Ltkrn70n.xxx
Lfbmp70n.dll			Lfbmp70n.xxx
LFCMP70n.dll			LFCMP70n.xxx
Lffax70n.dll			Lffax70n.xxx
lftif70n.dll			lftif70n.xxx

If any of the files listed above which are used in Nikon View Ver.2, 
have already been installed by  another application, Nikon View Ver.2 may  
not work as expected.
In this case, Nikon View Ver.2.1 will change the name of the existing 
files and install the correct versions to run Nikon View Ver.2.1
 (The following list will show you the file list of DLLs used by Nikon 
View Ver.2 and the names of any of the existing DLL's which were renamed 
during the installation of Nikon View Ver.2)

If you are contacting technical support regarding an incompatible application, 
please have the name of the application, the vendors telephone number 
and any error messages presented before contacting technical support. 
Nikon will work with third party application vendors in the case of a 
serious problem to determine an acceptable resolution to all parties.
