Adjusting Exposure Manually:
Manual Exposure Mode
If you want to adjust the shutter speed to freeze action or to suggest
motion by blurring moving objects, or if you want to modify exposure
from the value suggested by the camera, choose manual exposure
mode by selecting “M” in “EXPOSURE OPTIONS > Exposure Mode”
sub-menu in CSM shooting menu.
Choosing an Aperture
In manual exposure mode, aperture is chosen by pressing </> on the Multi
selector while holding down the 1 button.
1
Press < for maximum aperture (small f number), > for minimum
aperture (large f number).
2
Confirm aperture setting in monitor.
Note on minimum aperture
Filter is applied to adjust the light entering the camera when the aperture is set
to its minimum with the COOLPIX885. Because of this, the minimum aperture
setting may not yield wider depth-of-field as expected from the aperture value
displayed in the monitor.
If the aperture you have selected would result in the picture being over- or
under-exposed, the aperture value displayed in the monitor will flash when the
shutter release button is pressed halfway.

I have owned a number of Coolpix cameras and this one is by far the most complicated when it comes not to just setting it up, but even charging the batteries. The truth is I'm not very tech savvy and I'm also disabled but it was at least able to get a very good deal on this camera but I just don't want to make any mistakes. I know that Nikon offers at least downloads for manuals for free and if that's just not the case for your company then I will look elsewhere, but I just wanted to be honest
Just want to look at the manual
