Nikon 900 - Manual (Page 8)

- 8 - Other Cautions
✔ Do not cut power when the camera is on
Do not unplug the camera or remove the batteries while the
camera is on, or while data are being recorded or items deleted
from memory. Forcibly cutting power to the camera in these
circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the
camera’s internal circuitry or memory. For this reason, it would
not be advisable to carry the camera from one place to another
while it is connected to the AC adapter, as this could result in
the camera becoming unplugged accidentally.
✔ Turn the camera off before connecting the AC
adapter
Be sure the camera is off before connecting the AC adapter.
✔ Do not drop
Your camera may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or
vibration.
✔ Keep away from strong magnetic fields
Do not use or store your camera in the vicinity of equipment
that produces strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic
fields. The magnetic fields produced by equipment such as
radio transmitters or household television sets could cause
interference on the color LCD monitor, damage data stored on
the flash memory card, or affect the camera’s internal circuitry.
✔ Keep dry
The COOLPIX 900 is not waterproof, and may malfunction if
immersed in water or exposed to high levels of humidity.
✔ Keep free of salt, sand, and dust
After using your camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any
sand or salt with a lightly dampened cloth and then dry your
camera thoroughly.
✔ 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
inside the camera. To prevent condensation, place the camera
in its carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden
changes in temperature.
✔ Batteries
When you turn the camera on, check the battery level
displayed in the control panel to determine whether the
batteries need to be replaced. See “Checking the Battery Level”
for a description of the battery level indicator.
Use only 1.5V AA (LR6) batteries. Alkaline batteries are
recommended, but nickel-cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal-
hydride (NiMH), and lithium batteries may also be used. Note
however that the battery indicator may not function properly
with these types of battery.
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to
decrease. When taking pictures outside in cold weather, keep a
spare set of warm batteries on hand.
