Nikon 1799 Microcomputer of the camera, About the LCD, LCD illuminator panel, 180

Troubleshooting—continued

•Microcomputer of the camera

In certain cases, due to static electricity or poorly loaded batteries, the F6’s microcomputer may turn the camera off, even with fresh, properly installed batteries. For the same reason, the film may not advance properly. In each of these cases, to resume operation, simply turn the power off, then turn it on again. Or, remove and reinstall the batteries.

•About the LCD

The LCD panel and viewfinder displays tend to turn darker at high temperatures and experience slower response at low temperatures. In either case, when the temperature returns to normal, the displays also return to normal.

•LCD illuminator panel

The LCD illuminator panel wears out with time and the brightness of the LCD illumination becomes weaker. This is not a malfunction. Contact an authorized Nikon dealer or service center to replace the LCD illuminator panel with a new one.
