Shooting Issues, F12, Ups | Nikon S30, 26317 instruction

Characteristics of Digital Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery, then turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result in the loss of any data not saved to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already saved will not be affected.
