Notes About the Monitor
• Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99%
of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these
displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is
not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.
• Due to the general characteristics of OLED monitors, prolonged or repeated display of the same
screen or image may result in screen burn. Screen burn can be recognized by decreased
brightness in portions of the monitor or mottled display. In some cases, screen burn may become
permanent. However, images are in no way affected by screen burn.
To prevent screen burn, do not set monitor brightness higher than necessary and do not display
the same screen or image for an extended period of time.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
Nikon-authorized service representative.
The Battery
Be sure to read and follow the warnings in “For Your Safety” ( Avi–viii) before use.
• Check the battery level before using the camera, and replace or charge the
battery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged
as this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever possible, carry a
fully charged spare battery when taking images on important occasions.
• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C
(104°F).
• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to
95°F) before use.
• When charging the battery inserted into the COOLPIX S800c using the Charging
AC Adapter or a computer, the charge capacity may decrease at ambient
temperatures 45°C to 60°C (113°F to 140°F).
• The battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above
60°C (140°F).
• Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool
before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the
battery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally.
• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery
is used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Be sure that the
battery is fully charged before heading outside to take images in cold weather.
Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed,
a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Should
the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before
use.
