Caring for your Camera and Battery

Cleaning

Lens

Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that you pump to produce a stream of air out the other). To remove fingerprints or other stains that can not be re- moved with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral mo- tion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges.

Monitor

Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

Body

Use a blower to remove dust and lint, 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 cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thor- oughly.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Notes on the 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 product will not be affected.

•When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may appear in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as “smear,” does not appear in the final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smearing may appear in movies.

•Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.

•The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flick- er, contact your Nikon service representative.
