Caring for the Camera

Cleaning

	Avoid touching the lens/projector window with your fingers. Remove dust or
	lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one
Lens/	end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove
projector	fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the
window	lens/projector window with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the
	center of them and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean them using a
	cloth lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.
Monitor	Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains,
	clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.
	Use a blower to remove dust, dirt or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry
	cloth. After using the camera at the beach or other sandy or dusty
Body	environment, wipe off any sand, dust or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened
	with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter inside the
	camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Storage

Turn the camera off when not in use. Be sure that the power-on lamp is off before putting the camera away. Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period. Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, or in any of the following locations:

•Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios

•Exposed to temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F)

•Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%

•To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera away again.

CNotes on the 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 recorded using the product will not be affected.

•White or colored streaks of light may be visible in the monitor with framing of bright subjects. This phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor. This is due to characteristics of the image sensor and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also

cause partial discoloration in monitor display with shooting.

Smear does not affect recorded images except when shooting with Continuous set to Multi- shot 16 and when recording movies. When shooting in these modes, avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights is recommended.

•Images in 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.
