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.
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
The lens, monitor, and battery-chamber/
memory card slot and lens covers are easily
damaged. Do not use force. 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 liquid crystal
from the display touching the skin or entering
the eyes or mouth.
Do not point the lens at strong light sources for ex-
tended periods
Avoid framing the sun or other strong light
sources for extended periods when using or
storing the camera. Intense light may cause
deterioration in the image sensor, producing
a white blur eff ect in photographs.
Turn the product off before removing or disconnect-
ing 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. Forcibly
cutting power could result in loss of data or
in damage to product memory or circuitry. To
prevent an accidental interruption of power,
do not move the product while the AC adapt-
er is connected.
Keep dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in
water or subjected to high levels of moisture.
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 vicinity
of equipment that generates strong electro-
magnetic radiation or magnetic fi elds. Strong
static charges or the magnetic fi elds pro-
duced by equipment such as radio transmit-
ters could interfere with the monitor, damage
data stored on the memory card, or aff ect the
product’s internal circuitry.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as oc-
cur when entering or leaving a heated build-
ing on a cold day, can cause condensation
inside the device. To prevent condensation,
place the device in a carrying case or a plastic
bag before exposing it to sudden changes in
temperature.
