Notes on Safety Operations

 

CAUTION

En

Do not disassemble

Touching the internal parts of the camera or lens could result in injury.

 

Repairs should be performed only by qualified technicians. Should the

 

camera or lens break open as the result of a fall or other accident, take the

 

product to a Nikon authorized service representative for inspection after

 

unplugging the product and/or removing the battery.

Turn off immediately in the event of malfunction

Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the camera or lens, remove the battery immediately, taking care to avoid burns. Continued operation could result in injury. After removing or disconnecting the power source, take the equipment to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection.

Do not use the camera or lens in the presence of flammable gas

If the electronic equipment is operated in the presence of flammable gas, it could result in an explosion or a fire.

Do not look at the sun through the lens or viewfinder

Viewing the sun or other strong light sources through the lens or viewfinder could cause permanent visual impairment.

Keep out of reach of children

Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the batteries or other small parts into their mouths.

Observe the following precautions when handling the camera and lens

Keep the camera or lens unit dry. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock.

Do not handle or touch the unit with wet hands. Failure to do so could result in electric shock.

In backlit shooting, keep the sun well out of the frame.

The sunlight could focus into the lens body and cause a fire. When the sun gets close to the frame, it can also cause a fire.

When the lens will not be used for a long time, attach both front and rear lens caps and store the lens away from direct sunlight. Failure to do so could result in a fire, as the lens might focus sunlight onto an object.

When shifting and/or tilting, handle the lens with care. Failure to do so, may result in your fingers being nipped between the lens and the camera body.
