Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40 °C (104 °F); failure to observe this precaution could dam- age the battery or impair its perfor- mance. Capacity may be reduced and charging times may increase at battery temperatures from 0 °C (32°F) to 10°C (50°F) and from 45°C (113°F) to 60°C (140°F); the battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140°F).

The battery charger: Charge the battery at ambient temperatures between 5 °C (41 °F) and 35 °C (95 °F). If the CHARGE lamp flashes quickly during charging, cease use immediately and take battery and charger to your retailer or a Nikon-authorized service representative.

Do not move the charger or touch the battery during charging. Failure to observe this precaution could in very rare instances result in the charger showing that charging is complete when the battery is only partially charged. Remove and reinsert the battery to begin charging again.

Use the charger with compatible bat- teries only. Unplug when not in use.

Memory Cards: The camera stores pic- tures on SD, SDHC, and SDXC mem- ory cards (available separately; 0 70). Observe the following precautions when handling memory cards.

Memory cards may be hot after use. Observe due caution when remov- ing memory cards from the camera.

Do not remove memory cards from the camera, turn the camera off, or remove or disconnect the power source during formatting or while data are being recorded, deleted, or copied to a computer. Failure to observe these precautions could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.

Do not touch the card terminals with your fingers or metal objects.

Do not bend, drop, or subject to strong physical shocks.

Do not apply force to the card cas- ing. Failure to observe this precau- tion could damage the card.

Do not expose to water, heat, high levels of humidity, or direct sunlight.

Do not format memory cards in a computer.

DServicing 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-authorized 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 particu- larly recommended if the camera is used professionally. Any accesso- ries regularly used with the camera, such as lenses or optional flash units, should be included when the camera is inspected or serviced.
