Caring for your Camera and Battery
To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following precau-
tions when using or storing the device.
Keep dry
The device will be damaged if immersed
in water or subjected to high levels of
moisture.
Handle the lens and all moving
parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens or to the
battery, card, and connector covers.
These parts are especially susceptible to
damage.
Turn the product off before re-
moving or disconnecting the
power source
Do not unplug the product or remove
the battery while the product is on, or
while images are being recorded or de-
leted. Forcibly cutting power to the
product in these circumstances could
result in loss of data or in damage to
product memory or internal circuitry. To
prevent an accidental interruption of
power, avoid carrying the product from
one location to another while the AC
adapter is connected.
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subject-
ed to strong shocks or vibration.
Keep away from strong magnet-
ic fields
Do not use or store this device in the vi-
cinity of equipment that generates
strong electromagnetic radiation or
magnetic fields. Strong static charges or
the magnetic fields produced by equip-
ment such as radio transmitters could
interfere with the monitor, damage
data stored on the memory card, or af-
fect the product’s internal circuitry.
Avoid sudden changes in tem-
perature
Sudden changes in temperature, such
as occur when entering or leaving a
heated building on a cold day, can
cause condensation inside the device.
To prevent condensation, place the de-
vice in a carrying case or a plastic bag
before exposing it to sudden changes in
temperature.
Connect the tripod directly to
the camera tripod socket
For stability when using a tripod, re-
move the camera from the COOL-STA-
TION and connect the tripod directly to
the camera tripod socket. The camera
tripod socket is located on the bottom
of the camera.
