A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the control panel 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 an AC adapter (available separately), discon-
nect and reconnect the adapter and turn the camera on again. If the problem persists,
open the interface connector cover and use a fine-tipped object, such as a mechanical
pencil, to press the tab in the small square hole located above the interface connectors
(this will also reset the camera clock; for instructions on
setting the clock to the correct date and time, see page
19). In the event of continued malfunction, contact your
retailer or Nikon representative. Note that disconnect-
ing the power source as described above may result in
loss of any data not recorded to the memory card at the
time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to
the card will not be affected.
