Thank you for investing in a Nikon digital camera.

Nikon View 4 is designed to transfer your images from your Nikon digital camera or a Compact Flash card loaded into a Compact Flash card reader to your computer's hard disk. Nikon View 4 also supports a browser function, which allows you to see thumbnail images for your selection before you copy images to your hard disk.

Please read the following last minute important information.


1. Launching Nikon View 4
Nikon View 4 will be automatically launched by:
a) Putting a Compact Flash card into your card reader. The card has to have at least one image that was taken by your Nikon digital camera.
b) Connecting an interface cable (IEEE1394 for D1/D1X/D1H, or USB for Coolpix 5000/995/885/775) to your camera and your computer. Your camera should have a Compact Flash card installed and the card must have at least one image that was taken by your Nikon digital camera.

Please use the two methods mentioned above, because these are the only ways to use this version of Nikon View 4.
You can launch Nikon View 4 manually, however you will only have access to the preferences setting at this time.

2. Image Browser Software
Nikon View 4 is not designed to browse images that are located on your hard disk. Please use the image browser software bundled with your camera.
For this release of NikonView 4, iView Media Pro (Macintosh only) and Cumulus 5.0 trial version (Macintosh and Windows) are bundled with Coolpix cameras. Cumulus 5.0 Limited version (Macintosh and Windows) is bundled with SLR Digital (D1 series) cameras.

Please contact the following vendors for technical support or for sales related questions that you may have regarding the bundle software. Nikon cannot provide support for these software products.

Automatic Catalog Feature
When Nikon View 4 transfers images to your hard disk, Nikon View 4 will launch one of the image browsers mentioned above (if you have installed the browser software) and registers thumbnails and photo information data (such as shutter speed, f-stop, new file location in your hard disk and so on) with the browser software.
Since Nikon View 4 and the browser software are communicating when images are being transferred, please do not quit from Nikon View 4 or the browser software during the transfer.

2.1. Cumulus
a) Please allocate 35,840 KByte or more memory to the Cumulus application. This application may not work properly with the default memory allocation. To increase the memory allocation, select (single click) the application icon, (the icon should be highlighted) then press the Command (Apple) key and "I" key at the same time. You will be presented with the "Information" dialog box. You will notice the pop down menu with the "Show:" label. Click on this pop down menu (it will say "General Information") and select the "Memory" menu choice. By selecting the "Memory" menu, you will see two text boxes (Minimum Size and Preferred Size) where you would type "35840" in both of them. Please note that you cannot change the memory allocation while the Cumulus program is running. If you cannot edit the memory allocation text boxes, please close the Info dialog by clicking the "close box" in the upper left hand corner of the Info dialog, quit the Cumulus application, then begin again.
b) When Nikon View 4 registers information with Cumulus, Cumulus opens one catalog file to store all information. It may report an error if you have any other catalog file(s) opened. Please close all catalog files other than the target catalog file, when you transfer images using Nikon View 4.
c) When using larger size image files, such as NEF files or TIFF files, you may feel that registering those images into Cumulus LE takes too long. To change the operation of Cumulus in this area please select the "Catalog" Menu Item from the main menu bar, then select the "Cataloging options" menu choice. Once the dialog box is displayed click on the  "Stored Thumbnail (if large enough)" radio-button" in the "Create Thumbnail from" section of the "Cataloging Options" dialog box. This function is set to "Entire Asset" as the default.
d) Cumulus database software does not accept drag and drop the thumbnails from the Nikon View 4 software.
e) The length of the file path for the database catalog file must be under 255 characters.. (This setting can be found in the preferences of Nikon View 4) Nikon View 4 may not be able to register images with Cumulus 5.0 correctly, if the length of the file path exceeds 255 characters. The name of your hard disk is to be considered part of the file path length. A typical path would be:
Macintosh HD/Nikon Software/Nikon View 4/Catalogs/Catalogs Cumulus
The above path is 66 characters in length and acceptable. The Ò/Ó is not seen in the Macintosh operating system, but must be considered present after each directory name.
f) If Culumus 5.0 is set as the ÒlinkedÓ database program (These settings can be found in the preferences of Nikon View 4), Nikon View 4 will attempt to open a catalog file using  the ÒlinkedÓ database program to register copied images, (in this case, the linked database program is Cumulus 5.0) when you start copying images using Nikon View 4. The name of the catalog file can be set in the Nikon View 4 preferences, so that Nikon View 4 tells Cumulus 5 to please open that catalog file. However if a catalog that has the same file name as the preset file name opened already on Culumus 5.0 at the time when Nikon View 4 initiates communications (This happens when you start copying files), the communication may fail. Close the catalog file from Cumulus 5.0 and then start over in this case.

3. Nikon View 4 and older versions of Nikon View (900, Ver. 2, Ver. 2.5, Ver. 3 or DX)
Please uninstall any older version of Nikon View before the installation of Nikon View 4. The Nikon View 4 installer will uninstall any older version of Nikon View, if it is currently installed in your computer.

Do not install any previous version of Nikon View, once you install Nikon View 4.

4. Compatible Cameras

5. Using Nikon View 4 with the D1 series camera
Please do not take a picture with the D1 series camera, if you have the camera connected to your computer and Nikon View 4 is being launched.

6. Multiple Image sources are not supported
Nikon View 4 does not support multiple image sources for simultaneous use. Image sources include Coolpix cameras and Compact Flash cards which were used in any Nikon Digital Camera. Please do not connect more than one image source to use with Nikon View 4 at any one time. Please do not put any CF card which were used in your Nikon Digital camera into your card reader when you have the camera connected to your computer.

7. Delete a folder
An error will occur if you delete a folder using Nikon View 4, if the folder is located on a CF card that is present in a D1 camera that is connected to your computer. This occurs only if the CF card had been used in a card reader that was connected to a Macintosh computer. This does not occur with D1X and D1H cameras.

8. Powering off the camera or ejecting the Compact Flash card
Please do not turn off the camera and do not eject the Compact Flash card from your card reader or from the camera when Nikon View 4 is transferring images.
Please quit from Nikon View 4 before you disconnect any cables from your camera.
Please quit from Nikon View 4 and turn off the camera power before you eject a Compact Flash card from your camera.

9. When a Compact Flash Card contains both Coolpix and D1 images
If a Compact Flash card stores images taken by a Coolpix camera and images taken by a D1 series camera at the same time, Nikon View 4 may not display the photo information (such as shutter speed, f-stop and so on) correctly.

10. Operation on the back panel LCD of the D1X/D1H
The D1X/D1H allows you to modify some of the camera settings (delete, file protect, file hide, folder setting and card format) using the back panel LCD screen on the camera even when you have the camera connected with Nikon View 4. Although you can change these settings during this time, Nikon View 4 does not update the results of those changes on your computer screen until the camera is re-connected.

11. Nikon Capture 1.x
1. Using Nikon View 4 after using Nikon Capture 1.x
Before using Nikon View 4, please switch off your D1/D1X/D1H and after a few seconds switch it back on again. If your camera is connected to your computer using a cable and you have just used the camera with Nikon Capture 1.x, the camera may not record images correctly, if you continue to use the D1/D1X/D1H without switching it off.

12. Card format
Please do not format a Compact Flash card using Nikon Capture 1.x, when you are using Nikon View 4 and Nikon Capture 1.x at the same time.

13. For MacOS 8.6 Users
a) To use your D1 series camera, you need to obtain "FireWire" Version 2.3.3 from the Apple computer web site. This is an installer that places three system extension files in your system. Note that newer versions of "FireWire" may be available, but these updates may NOT be compatible with MacOS 8.6.
As of May 24, 2001, this file can be found at http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n11632.
b) To use your Coolpix5000/Coolpix 995/Coolpix885/Coolpix775, you need to download "USB Mass Storage Support" Version 1.3.5 from the Apple computer web site. As of May 24, 2001, this installer can be found at http://asu.info.apple.com/swupdates.nsf/artnum/n11418.
This driver supports only Apple built-in USB ports.

14. System Virtual Memory
Please turn off the System Virtual Memory of the MacOS, if possible. Virtual Memory may cause a reduction in the maximum data transfer rate when using the IEEE 1394 interface or the USB interface.
Virtual Memory can be turned off using the "Memory" control panel that can be found in the Control panel folder in the Apple menu. You need to re-start your computer for this change to take effect. Please note that Virtual memory may be required for some applications to operate correctly. Only switch off VM on your system if you are having speed related issues.

15. File size
Nikon View 4 creates and adds thumbnail data to original image files during image transfer, when the "Create Thumbnail" check box in the "Preference" dialog is turned on, which is the default setting.
The file size after transfer will be increased by 75 KB, because additional data has been added to the original file. Please note that 75KB can be the same size as the original image size (e.g. JPEG at VGA size). If this is the case, adding the thumbnail will double the file size. If you use a dial up connection to the Internet, and often use the VGA image size setting you may consider changing the "Create Thumbnail" setting so the thumbnail is not added to the file. This will maintain the expected file transmission time.

16. Memory
Please increase the memory allocation for Nikon View 4, when Nikon View 4 cannot display all thumbnail images properly. In general, more images and larger size thumbnail requires more memory assignment. Refer to section 2.1. (Cumulus) for instructions.

17. Coolpix 900(s) and Coolpix 5000/Coolpix 995/Coolpix885/Coolpix775
When you mark an image using a Coolpix 5000/Coolpix 995/Coolpix885/Coolpix775, and if a Coolpix 900(s) took that image previously, Nikon View 4 cannot recognize it as a marked image.

18. Transfer mark
You can mark on images using Coolpix885 and Coolpix775. Those marked images will be transferred to your computer when you press the transfer button of Coolpix885 and Coolpix775. However this transfer function will not work when you have more than 1000 images marked on one large capacity CF card in the camera. Please reduce the number of marked images.
When you use Nikon View 4, it has a selective transfer function that allows you to transfer only the marked images from the camera into your computer. This function is available with using Coolpix 5000, Coolpix 995, Coolpix885 and Coolpix775 and will not work if more than 1000 images are marked. Please reduce the number of marked images in this case.

19. When using a CF card that is full
Nikon View 4 will display an error message that indicates, ÒThere is no image in the camera or on the card. Exit from the program.Ó if you have a card that does not have any capacity left in D1X or D1H connected using the IEEE1394 interface. (The camera will display [CHA] on the top LCD in this case.) Please use a card reader or delete any unneeded image from the Flash Card if this message is displayed.

20. Operation speed using Coolpix 990 and 880
Nikon View 4.2 adds support for the Coolpix 990 and 880 models (USB interface only) as a part of Nikon's ongoing support for legacy products. Our goal is to continue to provide enhancements in both hardware and software for our products when possible.

Please note that operational speed with the Coolpix 990 and Coolpix 880 may not be fast as our latest cameras such as Coolpix 5000, Coolpix 995, Coolpix 885 and Coolpix 775.

This speed difference may be noticeable when the CF card in the camera stores many images and contains big files such as a movie file or files shot in HI mode.

21. Known problem
- When you are copying any image(s) from the Coolpix 990 or Coolpix 880 while using the USB interface, please do not use any menu to initiate another operation. Nikon View 4 may not work correctly in this circumstance.

- This release of Nikon View 4 does not support "Drag & Drop" operation to register any image(s) with a supported third party Database software (e.g. Cumulus 5 and iView Media Pro) . Images may not be correctly registered even if it appears that the registration was successful.
