Troubleshooting
If your camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common
problems below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative.
Refer to the page numbers listed in the rightmost column for informa-
tion on solving the problems listed here.
Electronically-Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and
the camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused
by a strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace
the batteries, and turn the camera on again, or, if you are using the EH-61 AC
adapter, disconnect and reconnect the adapter, and turn the camera on
again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon
representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above
may result in the loss of any data not recorded to the memory card at the time
the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory card will not be
affected.
