The COOLPIX 950 is equipped with a speaker that produces a

beep when you turn the camera on or take a picture. This speaker

can be turned on and off using the SOUND menu.

The SOUND menu can be accessed from the setup menu for each

mode. To display the setup menu for M-REC or PLAY, select SET

UP from M-REC or playback menus (see below). You can then

adjust sound settings as described in steps 2 and 3, below. In A-

REC mode, follow these steps to turn the speaker on or off:

1Press the MENU button to display the A-

REC menu.

2Using the zoom buttons, highlight

SOUND.

3To change the setting, either

• rotate the command dial (press the MENU button to return

to shooting mode once you have adjusted settings to your

satisfaction), or

• press the shutter-release button and

the select desired setting from the

SOUND menu.

When the speaker is on, a check mark appears next to the SOUND

item in the menu for the current operating mode.

Tip

When the camera enters sleep mode, all camera functions are deactivated

and the camera itself is effectively off, consuming almost no power. The

camera can be reactivated using the MONITOR button or by pressing the

shutter-release button half way.

Auto Off

When operated on battery power, the camera enters sleep mode

if no action is performed for thirty seconds (three minutes when

menus are displayed). Auto Off allows you to specify a new time

limit for sleep mode. Two time limits can be set, one for playback

and the other for shooting photos (A-REC and M-REC).

Specify a new time limit by following these steps:

1To set the time limit for playback mode, select SET UP from the

playback menu and highlight AUTO OFF in the menu that

appears. To set the time limit for shooting, turn the mode dial

to A-REC, press the MENU button to display the A-REC menu,

and use the zoom buttons to highlight AUTO OFF. Alterna-

tively, you can highlight AUTO OFF in the M-REC setup menu,

which is displayed when SET UP is chosen from the M-REC

menu (see “The M-REC Menu,” below).

2To change the setting, either

• rotate the command dial (press the MENU button to return

to shooting mode once you have adjusted settings to your

satisfaction), or

• press the shutter-release button and

the select desired setting from the

AUTO OFF menu.
