Troubleshooting
If your camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems
below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative. Refer to the page
numbers listed in the right-most column for information on solving the problems
listed here.
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, and turn the camera on again,
or, if you are using the optional AC adapter, disconnect and reconnect the adapter, and turn
the camera on again. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may re-
sult in the loss of any data not recorded to the memory or memory card at the time the prob-
lem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory or memory card will not be affected.
