Caring for the Product The Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Avii-ix) when using or storing the device. B Do Not Drop The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. B Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged.
B Notes About the Monitor • Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.
• If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and completely exhaust it before removing it for storage. The battery should be stored in a cool location with an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations. • Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not being used. When inserted, minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery even when not in use.
Memory Cards • Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See “Approved Memory Cards” (F29) for recommended memory cards. • Observe the precautions noted in the documentation included with your memory card. • Do not affix labels or stickers to the memory card. • Do not format the memory card using a computer. • The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, be sure to format it with this camera.
Cleaning and Storage Cleaning Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals. Technical Notes and Index F6 Lens Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers.
