Troubleshooting

If the camera fails to function as expected, check this list of common problems before consulting your retailer or Nikon repre- sentative.

Battery/Display

The camera is on but does not respond: Wait for recording or any other processing to end. If the problem persists, turn the camera off. If the camera still does not respond, remove and replace the battery or disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter, but note that this will delete any data not yet saved. Data already saved to the memory card are unaffected.

The displays are off:

•The camera is off (0 29) or the battery is exhausted (0 23, 33).

•An object has come close to the eye sensor, turning the optional view- finder on and the monitor off (0 35).

•The displays have turned off automatically to save power (0 29). The displays can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-release button.

•The camera is connected to a computer (0 145) or television (0 148). The viewfinder is out of focus: Focus the viewfinder using the diopter adjust- ment control (0 35).

The camera turns off without warning:

•The battery is low (0 23, 33).

•The display has turned off automatically to save power (0 29). The dis- play can be reactivated by pressing the shutter-release button.

•The camera’s internal temperature is high (0 xvii, 246). Wait for the camera to cool before turning it on again.

Indicators are not displayed: Press the $button (0 6).
