Caring for the Product

Technical Notes and Index

The Camera

To ensure safe and continued enjoyment of your Nikon camera, observe the following precautions and the precautions noted in “For Your Safety” (A ix-xiv) when using or storing your camera.

B Do Not Subject the Product to Strong Shocks

The product may malfunction if dropped or struck. Additionally, do not touch or apply force to the lens.

B Keep Dry

If water enters the camera, internal components may rust or otherwise become damaged, and repairing the camera may be expensive or even impossible.

B Avoid 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.

B Keep 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.

B Do 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 damage the image sensor or other components, producing a white blur effect in photographs.
