Caring for the Products

•At temperatures from –10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), the performance of the batteries (number of pictures shot and shooting time) will drop temporarily.

•If the camera becomes extremely cold in cold locations, the monitor performance may drop temporarily immediately after the power is turned on (i.e., the monitor appears darker than usual or a residual image occurs).

•When using the camera in cold locations or at high altitudes, keep the camera warm inside a protection against cold or clothing.

BDo Not Drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.

BHandle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care

Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

BDo Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods

Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration of the image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.

BKeep away from Strong Magnetic Fields

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry.

BAvoid Sudden Changes in Temperature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

Do not expose the camera to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct sunlight before entering the water.

BTurn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source or the Memory Card

Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.

BThe 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 displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images saved using the product will not be affected.

•Images on the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.

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