Caring for the Camera

Cleaning

 

Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower

 

(typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is

 

pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints

Lens

or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft

 

cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working

 

toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens 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 seaside, wipe off any sand or salt

Body

with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then 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. Check 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)

Poorly ventilated or subject to humidities 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.

When framing bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as “smear,” does not appear in the final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. In shooting modes other than multi-shot 16 continuous or movie, smear has no effect on the images that are recorded.

When using multi-shot 16 continuous shooting and movie modes, however, we recommend that you avoid shooting bright objects.

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.
