Owner's Manual

~ Use a Reliable Power Source
The shutter curtain is delicate and easily damaged. If the camera powers
off while the mirror is raised, the curtain will close automatically. To
prevent damage to the curtain, observe the following precautions:
• Do
not turn the camera off or remove or disconnect the power source
while the mirror is raised.
•
If the battery runs low while the mirror is raised, a beep will sound and
the self-timer lamp will blink to warn that the shutter curtain will close
and
the mirror will be lowered after about two minutes. End cleaning or
inspection immediately.
~ Foreign Matter on the Low-Pass Filter
Nikon takes every possible precaution to prevent foreign matter from
coming
into contact with the low-pass filter during production and
shipping. The D700, however,
is designed to be used with
interchangeable lenses, and foreign matter may enter the camera when
lenses are removed
or exchanged. Once inside the camera, this foreign
matter may adhere
to the low-pass filter, where it may appear in
photographs taken
under certain conditions. To protect the camera when
no lens
is in place, be sure to replace the body cap provided with the
camera, being careful to first remove all dust and other foreign matter that
may be adhering to the body cap.
Should foreign
matter find its way onto the low-pass filter, clean the filter
as described above, or have the filter cleaned by authorized Nikon service
personnel. Photographs affected
by the presence offoreign matter on the
filter can be retouched using Capture NX 2 (available separately; pg. 388)
or the clean image options available in some third-party imaging
applications.
~ Servicing the Camera and Accessories
The camera is a precision device and requires regular servicing. Nikon
recommends
that the camera be inspected by the original retailer or
Nikon service representative once everyone to two years, and that it be
serviced once every three
to five years (note that fees apply to these
f'M .. <
services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particularly I..!.J
recommended if the camera is used professionally. Any accessories
regularly used
with the camera, such as lenses or optional Speedlights,
should be included when
the camera is inspected or serviced.
