Caring for the Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following pre-
cautions when storing or using the device.
Handle the lens and all moving parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens, monitor, or
battery-chamber and lens covers. These
parts are easily damaged. Force applied
to the lens cover could cause malfunction
or damage the lens. Should the monitor
break, care should be taken to avoid injury
due to broken glass and to prevent the liq-
uid crystal from the display touching the
skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
Do not point the lens at strong light sources for
extended periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other
strong light sources for extended periods
when using or storing the camera. Intense
light may cause deterioration in the CCD
image sensor, producing a white blur eff ect
in photographs.
Turn the product off before removing or discon-
necting the power source
Do not unplug the product or remove the
batteries while the product is on, or while
images are being recorded or deleted.
Forcibly cutting power in these circum-
stances 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 place to another while an AC
adapter is connected.
Keep dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in
water or subjected to high levels of mois-
ture.
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected
to strong shocks or vibration.
Keep away from strong magnetic fi elds
Do not use or store this device in the vi-
cinity of equipment that generates strong
electromagnetic radiation or magnetic
fi elds. Strong static charges or the mag-
netic fi elds produced by equipment such
as radio transmitters could interfere with
the monitor, damage data stored on the
memory card, or aff ect the product’s inter-
nal circuitry.
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 conden-
sation inside the device. To prevent con-
densation, place the device in a carrying
case or a plastic bag before exposing it to
sudden changes in temperature.
Batteries
• Check the battery level when taking the camera out and replace the batteries if necessary
( 10). If possible, carry spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions.
• Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh before
heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and
exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.
• Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with
local regulations.
