Troubleshooting
If the camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative.
Battery/Display
The camera is on but does not respond: Wait for recording to end. If the problem persists, turn the camera off. If the camera does not turn off, remove and reinsert the battery or, if you are using an AC adapter, disconnect and reconnect the AC adapter. Note that although any data currently being recorded will be lost, data that have already been recorded will not be affected by removing or disconnecting the power source.
Display turns off without warning: Choose longer delays for Auto off timer in the setup menu (0 189).
