Cleaning
Lens Avoid touching glass parts with your fi ngers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typi-
cally a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to pro-
duce a stream of air out the other). To remove fi ngerprints or other stains that can
not 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, clean the
lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.
Monitor Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fi ngerprints 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. Note that foreign
matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered under warranty.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is off before
putting the camera away and remove the batteries if the camera will not be used
for an extended period. Do not store the camera with naptha or camphor moth
balls or in locations that:
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fi elds, such as tele-
visions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F)
• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month.
Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera
away again.
Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a char-
acteristic common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images
recorded using the product will not be aff ected.
• When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end
may appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as “ smear,” does not appear in the fi nal
photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.
• Images in the monitor may be diffi cult to see in a bright light.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or fl icker, contact
your Nikon service representative.
