Foreword

Thank you for purchasing the Nikon MACRO COOL-

LIGHT SL-1, for use with Nikon digital cameras. Get to

know your SL-1, and be sure to read this manual

thoroughly before using the product.

Attaching the SL-1 to the front of the lens of

compatible* Nikon COOLPIX cameras enables

illumination of subjects in Macro close-up

photography at a shooting distance of up to

approximately 12cm (4.7 in.) — one thing your

camera's built-in Speedlight may not be able to do.

* The COOLPIX 775, 880, 885, 950, 990, 995, 4300,

4500 and 5000 can all accommodate the MACRO

COOL-LIGHT SL-1.

NOTE: Please refer to "Specifications" for important

information regarding the use of the SL-1 with the

COOLPIX 5000 digital camera.

Power Sources

Use two CR2-type 3V lithium batteries (available

separately) with the SL-1. To power the SL-1

continuously for an extended period of time, we

recommend you use the optional AC Adapter EH-53,

EH-31, EH-30 or EH-21.

• When Using CR2-type 3V Lithium

Batteries

1 Set the power switch on the SL-1 to OFF. (Fig. C)

2 Slide the battery-chamber cover open. (Fig. D)

3 Insert the batteries with the "+" and "–" ends

positioned as marked inside the battery

chamber. Make sure that the tip of the flexible tab

inside the battery chamber sticks out as shown.

(Fig. E)

(The flexible tab is used when removing exhausted

batteries from the chamber.)

4 Set the power switch on the SL-1 to ON and

confirm that the lights are on. (If you are not

going to use the SL-1 right away, please turn the

power off.)

• When Using the Optional AC

Adapter EH-53, EH-31, EH-30 or

EH-21

(Illustration shows the

COOLPIX 4500 and the EH-53)

The SL-1 must already be attached to the camera

before the AC Adapter can be connected to the SL-1.

1 Set the power switch on the SL-1 to OFF. (Fig. C)

2 Insert the DC plug of the AC Adapter into the DC-

in connector of the SL-1 ⁄, and insert the wall

plug of the AC Adapter into a wall socket ¤.

(Fig. H)

3 Set the power switch on the SL-1 to ON and

confirm that the lights are on. (If you are not

going to use the SL-1 right away, please turn the

power off.)

• When an AC Adapter is connected to the SL-1

while 3V lithium batteries are still in the chamber,

power is supplied by the AC Adapter.

Attaching the SL-1 to Your

Camera

(Illustration shows COOLPIX 4500)

1 Turn the attachment wheel lock of the SL-1

clockwise and confirm that the lens attachment

wheel is locked. (Fig. F-1)

2 (For COOLPIX 775 users)

Attach the optional UR-E3 lens adapter to the

camera, then attach the SL-1 by screwing it

into the front of the UR-E3.

(For COOLPIX 880 users)

Attach the optional UR-E2 step down ring lens

adapter to the camera, then attach the SL-1 by

screwing it into the front of the UR-E2.

(For COOLPIX 885 and 4300 users)

Attach the optional UR-E4 step down ring lens

adapter to the camera, then attach the SL-1 by

screwing it into the front of the UR-E4.

(For COOLPIX 950, 990, 995 and 4500 users)

Attach the SL-1 by screwing it into the front of

the camera lens. (Fig. F-2)

(For COOLPIX 5000 users)

Attach the optional UR-E6 step down ring lens

adapter to the camera, then attach the SL-1 by

screwing it into the front of the UR-E6.

3 Turn the attachment wheel lock

counterclockwise to disengage it 1, adjust the

position of the battery chamber so it is best

suited for taking pictures 2, then turn the

attachment wheel lock clockwise to fix the SL-1

in place. (Fig. G)

(Fig. A and B)

Taking Pictures Using the

SL-1

For details on camera operation, refer to your

camera's instruction manual.

1 Set the Focus mode to Macro Close-Up (™) and

the Flash mode to Flash Cancel (ﬂ).

• When using a digital camera other than the

COOLPIX 775, Manual Focus mode can also be

selected.

• With the COOLPIX 880, 885, 4300 or 4500, Close

Up (z) in the Scene mode can also be selected

(Flash Cancel is selected automatically).

2 Set the power switch on the SL-1 to ON, and

select "Auto" from the White Balance menu on

your camera.

3 Press your camera's shutter release button to

take a picture.

• Use the Monitor to verify your subject. The

camera body obstructs the view through the

optical viewfinder.

• The shooting distance and zoom position you can

select vary depending on the camera you are

using. Refer to the table under "Specifications"

for the shooting distance and zoom position for

each compatible Nikon COOLPIX digital camera.

Tips

• When using the SL-1 with a camera that has a

closest shooting distance of 2cm (0.8 in.), such as

the COOLPIX 950, 990, 995, 4500 and 5000, close-

up pictures can easily be taken by placing the SL-1

on a subject with a flat surface as shown below.

(This is particularly effective when shooting close-

ups of subjects such as maps or fabric.)

Troubleshooting

Condition

Shutter speed is low,

causing picture blur.

Proper exposure cannot

be attained.

Proper white balance

cannot be attained.

The image is unevenly

illuminated.

The image of the SL-1's

light source is exposed.

Notes on Care and Usage

• The MACRO COOL-LIGHT SL-1 is designed

specifically for use with Nikon COOLPIX 775, 880,

885, 950, 990, 995, 4300, 4500 and 5000 digital

cameras. (The SL-1 can be attached to the COOLPIX

800, 900 and 910 as well, but proper lighting

cannot be attained.)

• Since the SL-1 uses spot light source (LED), the

image of the light source itself might be

exposed depending on the subject

• Attaching the SL-1 increases the total weight of the

camera, thus increasing the chance of picture blur

occurring. Please take care to avoid camera shake.

• When the SL-1 is attached to the camera, do not

attempt to hold the camera by the SL-1 alone.

Damage may result to the SL-1 and the camera

body. When carrying or transporting the camera,

please make sure that the SL-1 is detached.

• Thin wrist straps such as those used with mobile

phones can also be attached to the SL-1. Be careful

not to pull on the strap when the SL-1 is attached to

a camera, as this can result in damage to the SL-1

and the camera.

• Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the

SL-1 and clean it with a soft, dry cloth. After using

the SL-1 near seawater, wipe the SL-1 with a soft,

clean cloth slightly moistened with fresh, pure

water, then dry it thoroughly with a dry cloth. NEVER

use organic solvents such as thinner or benzene.

Remedy

Use the camera's Best-

Shot Selector (BSS)

feature.

Use exposure

compensation.

Use preset white

balance.

Change the shooting

distance.

Change the angle from

which you are shooting.
