Notes on the Monitor
• Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99%
of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these
displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is
not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.
• Scraping or pressing on the surface of the monitor may result in damage or malfunction. Should
the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the
liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
Nikon-authorized service representative.

Notes About Smear
White or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor. This
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor; it is
characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also take the form of
partial discoloration in the monitor during shooting. It does not appear in saved still images but may
be seen in movies. When recording movies, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such as
the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.
