• Do not use the battery at ambient
temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or
above 40°C (104°F); failure to
observe this precaution could dam-
age the battery or impair its perfor-
mance. Capacity may be reduced
and charging times may increase at
battery temperatures from 0°C
(32°F) to 10°C (50°F) and from 45°C
(113°F) to 60°C (140°F); the battery
will not charge if its temperature is
below 0°C (32°F) or above 60°C
(140°F).
The battery charger: Charge the battery
at ambient temperatures between
5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F). If the
CHARGE lamp flashes quickly during
charging, cease use immediately and
take battery and charger to your
retailer or a Nikon-authorized service
representative.
Do not move the charger or touch the
battery during charging. Failure to
observe this precaution could in very
rare instances result in the charger
showing that charging is complete
when the battery is only partially
charged. Remove and reinsert the
battery to begin charging again.
Use the charger with compatible bat-
teries only. Unplug when not in use.
Memory Cards: The camera stores pic-
tures on SD, SDHC, and SDXC mem-
ory cards (available separately; 0 70).
Observe the following precautions
when handling memory cards.
• Memory cards may be hot after use.
Observe due caution when remov-
ing memory cards from the camera.
• Do not remove memory cards from
the camera, turn the camera off, or
remove or disconnect the power
source during formatting or while
data are being recorded, deleted, or
copied to a computer. Failure to
observe these precautions could
result in loss of data or in damage to
the camera or card.
• Do not touch the card terminals
with your fingers or metal objects.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject to
strong physical shocks.
• Do not apply force to the card cas-
ing. Failure to observe this precau-
tion could damage the card.
• Do not expose to water, heat, high
levels of humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not format memory cards in a
computer.

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-authorized service representative once every one to two years,
and that it be serviced once every three to five years (note that fees
apply to these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particu-
larly recommended if the camera is used professionally. Any accesso-
ries regularly used with the camera, such as lenses or optional flash
units, should be included when the camera is inspected or serviced.
