Cleaning
Lens: One key to preserving the condition of glass parts is to not touch them
with your fi ngers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device
with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream
of air out the other). To remove fi ngerprints or other stains that can not be
removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion
that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. If this fails to
clean the lens, wipe with a dry cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens
cleaner.
Monitor: Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fi ngerprints and other
stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply
pressure.
Avoid contact with liquid crystal
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken
glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or
entering the eyes or mouth.
Body: Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand then wipe gently with a soft,
dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or
salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly.
The camera may be damaged if foreign matter gets inside the camera body.
Nikon cannot accept liability for damage caused by dirt or sand.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
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.
• When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either
end may appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as “ smear,” does not ap-
pear in the fi nal photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may
appear in movies.
• Images in the monitor may be diffi cult to see in a bright light.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or fl icker,
contact your Nikon service representative.
