of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these
displays may c ontain pixels that ar e alway s lit (w hite, r ed, blu e, or gr een) or always off (bl ack), th is is
not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.

•The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
Nikon-authorized service representative.

performance. Whenever possible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking images on
important occasions.
