Cleaning
Lens
Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber
bulb attached to one end that you pump to produce a stream of air out
the other). To remove fingerprints or other stains that can not be re-
moved with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral mo-
tion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges.
Monitor
Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other
stains, clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply
pressure.
Body
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand
or salt with a cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thor-
oughly.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light.
This is a characteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors and does not indicate a
malfunction. Images recorded with the product will not be affected.
• When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward
either end may appear in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as “smear,”
does not appear in the final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction.
Some smearing may appear in movies.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flick-
er, contact your Nikon service representative.
