When the Coolpix 2500 has been updated to firmware version 1.1 the
following information is relevant.
For details on the firmware update view: Release note for Firmware update
version 1.1 for the Coolpix 2500.
1. Some of the functions of Nikon View can cause modifications to
the supplementary information (not the actual picture) held within each
picture file that your camera produces.
2. Data which may be affected include:
2.1 The set up and exposure configurations of the camera at the
time when the picture was taken.
2.2 The large-size thumbnail that is used by Nikon View to show
the image in greater detail in the Browser. 2.3 The data used by some
printers to fine-tune colour when printing directly from a CF card and
not via a computer.
In no case is the actual image data affected.
3. Should you wish to retain this data, you may take the
following measures:
3.1 Do not select the "Add additional information" box in the
Transfer Options dialogue. (Image 1.) This will prevent the direct
printing data from being lost. If you do not print directly from the
camera and do not make use of the so-called Exif print feature of
certain printers then this issue is not relevant.

Image 1. |
If you wish to view camera shooting data in the so-called IPTC data
area, that is held within the image, then leave this box checked.. (See
the Nikon View manual and the web resource for more information about
IPTC ). Data maybe lost, however, if the description that can also added
at this point exceeds the maximum number of characters that can be
stored in the IPTC area. If you wish to retain the shooting data in the
so called EXIF area, then uncheck the box, as writing IPTC data may
overwrite the EXIF data.
3.2 Do not rotate the image using the Rotate command in Nikon
View. This
will avoid deleting the high resolution thumbnail that is held in the
image file. However, even if this data is lost, Nikon View can
regenerate it from the main image by a choice in the Preferences menu of
Nikon View.
