Nikon D100 - Manual (Page 7)

v
• To prevent mold or mildew, take the cam-
era out of storage at least once a month.
Turn the camera on and release the shut-
ter a few times before putting the cam-
era away again.
• Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
Replace the terminal cover before putting
the battery away.
Notes on the monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that
are always lit or that do not light. This is
a characteristic common to all TFT LCD
monitors and does not indicate a mal-
function. Images recorded with the prod-
uct will not be affected.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to
see in a bright light.
• Do not apply pressure to the monitor; this
could cause damage or malfunction.
Dust or lint on the monitor can be re-
moved with a blower. Stains can be re-
moved by rubbing the surface lightly with
a soft cloth or chamois leather.
• Should the monitor break, care should be
taken to avoid injury due to broken glass
and to prevent the liquid crystal from the
monitor touching the skin or entering the
eyes or mouth.
• Replace the monitor cover when trans-
porting the camera or leaving it unat-
tended.
Turn the product off before removing
or disconnecting the power source
Do not unplug the product or remove the
battery while the product is on, or while im-
ages are being recorded or deleted. Forc-
ibly cutting power to the product in these
circumstances could result in loss of data or
in damage to product memory or internal
circuitry. To prevent an accidental interrup-
tion of power, avoid carrying the product
from one location to another while the AC
adapter is connected.
Batteries
• When you turn the device on, check the
battery-level displayed in the control
panel to determine whether the battery
needs to be replaced. The battery needs
to be replaced when the battery-level in-
dicator is flashing.
• Ready a spare battery and keep it fully
charged when taking photographs on im-
portant occasions. Depending on your lo-
cation, you may find it difficult to pur-
chase replacement batteries on short
notice.
• On cold days, the capacity of batteries
tends to decrease. Be sure the battery is
fully charged before taking photographs
outside in cold weather. Keep a spare
battery in a warm place and exchange the
two as necessary. Once warmed, a cold
battery may recover some of its charge.
• Should the battery terminals become
dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth
before use.
• After removing the battery from the cam-
era, be sure to replace the terminal cover.
Memory cards
• Turn the power off before inserting or re-
moving memory cards. Inserting or re-
moving cards with the power on could
render them unusable.
• I n s e r t m e m o r y
cards as shown in
the illustration at
right. Inserting
cards upside down
or backwards could
damage the cam-
era or the card.
