Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is off before
putting the camera away. Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an
extended period. Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, or
in any of the following locations:
• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
• Exposed to temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F)
• Poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60 %
To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn
the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again.

Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories
• Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory
shoe could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or
flash.
• Before using a Nikon Speedlight not listed in this section, contact a Nikon-authorized service
representative for more information.

Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic
common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded using the
product will not be affected.
• 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.

Note on Smear
When framing bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may appear
in the display. This phenomenon, known as “smear,” does not appear in the final photograph and
does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.
