Color LCD 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
malfunction. Images recorded with the
camera will not be affected.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to
see in a bright light.
• The monitor is lit by a fluorescent backlight.
Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker,
contact your Nikon service representative.
• Do not apply pressure to the LCD monitor,
as this could cause damage or malfunction.
Dust or lint adhering to the monitor can be
removed with a blower brush. Stains can
be removed 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
transporting the camera or leaving it
unattended.
Turn camera off before removing
battery or unplugging AC adapter
Do not unplug the product or remove the
battery while the camera is on, or while
images are being recorded or deleted from
memory. Forcibly cutting power to the product
in these circumstances could result in loss of
data or in damage to internal circuitry or
memory. To prevent an accidental
interruption of power, avoid carrying the
product with you while the AC adapter is
connected.
Observe proper precautions when
handling batteries
Batteries may leak or explode if improperly
handled. Observe the following precautions
when handling batteries for use in this prod-
uct:
• Be sure the product is off before inserting
or removing the battery. If you are using
the AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.
• Foreign matter on the battery terminals—
for example, sweat or oil—may prevent a
contact from being formed. Before
installing the battery, clean it thoroughly
with a soft, dry cloth.
• When the product is used continuously on
battery power for an extended period, the
battery may become hot. Due caution
should be observed when removing the
battery.
• Use only batteries approved for use in this
equipment.
• Do not expose the battery to flame or to
excessive heat or moisture. Do not short-
circuit or disassemble the battery.
Spare batteries
• Keep a spare battery fully charged when
taking photographs on important
occasions. Depending on your location,
you may find it difficult to purchase
replacement batteries on short notice.
• On cold days, the capacity of the battery
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.
