Characteristics of Digital 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 battery, then turn the camera on again.
In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service
representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result in
the loss of any data not saved to internal memory or the memory card at the time the
problem occurred. Data already saved will not be affected.
