Technical Notes
Troubleshooting
If your camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems
below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative. Refer to the page
numbers listed in the right-most column for information on solving the problems
listed here.
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 replace the batteries, and turn the camera on
again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (available separately), disconnect and reconnect
the adapter, and turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact
your retailer or Nikon representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described
above may result in the loss of any data not recorded to the memory or memory card at the
time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory or memory card will not
be affected.
