Electronically Controlled 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
recorded to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem
occurred. Data already recorded will not be affected.
Date and time of recording are
not correct
• If camera clock has not been set, “Date not
set” indicator blinks during shooting and
movie recording. Pictures and movies
recorded before clock is set are dated “00/00/
0000 00:00” or “01/01/2010 00:00”
respectively. Set the correct time and date
from the Date option in the setup menu.

accurate timepieces and reset as required.
