Cleaning
Lens
One key to preserving the condition of glass parts is to not touch them with
your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with
a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air
out the other). To remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed
with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts
in the center of the lens and works out to the edges. If this fails to clean the
lens, wipe with a dry cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.
Monitor
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains,
clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.
Body
Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand then wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or
salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly.
The camera may be damaged if foreign matter gets inside the camera body.
Nikon cannot accept liability for damage caused by dirt or sand.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Avoid Contact with Liquid Crystal
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.
Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a character-
istic common to all TFT LCD monitors, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded us-
ing the product will not be affected.
• When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may
appear on the monitor. This phenomenon, known as “smear”, does not appear in the final pho-
tograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.
• Images on the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
local retailer or Nikon representative.
