Technical Notes and Index
Electronically Controlled 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 reinsert 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
recorded to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem
occurred. Data already recorded will not be affected.
Shooting
The camera becomes hot.
The camera may become hot when used for an
extended period of time to shoot movies or
send images using an Eye-Fi card, or when
used in a hot environment; this is not a
malfunction.
