DUse a Reliable Power Source

The shutter curtain is delicate and easily damaged. If the camera powers off while the mirror is raised, the curtain will close automatically. To prevent damage to the curtain, observe the following precautions:

•Do not turn the camera off or remove or disconnect the power source while the mirror is raised.

•If the battery runs low while the mirror is raised, a beep will sound and the self-timer lamp will blink to warn that the shutter curtain will close and the mirror will be lowered after about two minutes. End cleaning or inspection immediately.

DForeign Matter on the Low-Pass Filter

Nikon takes every possible precaution to prevent foreign matter from coming into contact with the low-pass filter during production and shipping. The D800, however, is designed to be used with interchangeable lenses, and foreign matter may enter the camera when lenses are removed or exchanged. Once inside the camera, this foreign matter may adhere to the low-pass filter, where it may appear in photographs taken under certain conditions. To protect the camera when no lens is in place, be sure to replace the body cap provided with the camera, being careful to first remove all dust and other foreign matter that may be adhering to the body cap.

	Should foreign matter find its way onto the low-pass filter, clean the filter
	as described above, or have the filter cleaned by authorized Nikon service
	personnel. Photographs affected by the presence of foreign matter on
	the filter can be retouched using Capture NX 2 (available separately;
	0 390) or the clean image options available in some third-party imaging
	applications.
	D Servicing the Camera and Accessories
	The camera is a precision device and requires regular servicing. Nikon
	recommends that the camera be inspected by the original retailer or
	Nikon service representative once every one to two years, and that it be
	serviced once every three to five years (note that fees apply to these
	services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particularly
	recommended if the camera is used professionally. Any accessories
	regularly used with the camera, such as lenses or optional flash units,
n
	should be included when the camera is inspected or serviced.
