Maximizing Camera Life and Performance To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Avi–viii) when using or storing the device. The Camera B Keep Dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity. B Do Not Drop The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.
Maximizing Camera Life and Performance C 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.
Maximizing Camera Life and Performance • 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.
Maximizing Camera Life and Performance • 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. We recommend formatting new memory cards with this camera before using them with this camera. • Note that formatting permanently deletes all images and other data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep before formatting the memory card.
