AA Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, the display may not respond as expected 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, taking care to avoid burns, and turn the camera on again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (available sepa- rately), disconnect and reconnect the adapter and turn the camera on again. If the problem persists after the battery has been removed and replaced, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representa- tive.
