In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the cam-
era 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 then 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 internal memory or the memory card at the time
the problem occurred. Data already recorded will not be aff ected.
