Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the fol-
lowing precautions when using or storing the device.
j Handle the lens and all moving parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery
chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could
result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens. Should the monitor break,
care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the
liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
j Do not point the lens at strong light sources for extended periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended peri-
ods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration of
the CCD image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.
j Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power
source
Do not unplug the product or remove the batteries while the product is on, or
while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these cir-
cumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or inter-
nal circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption of power, avoid carrying the
product from one place to another while an AC adapter is connected.
j Keep dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
j Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.
j Keep away from strong magnetic fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or the mag-
netic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere
with the monitor, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the prod-
uct’s internal circuitry.
j Avoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when entering or leaving a
heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device.
To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag
before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
