Caring for the Product
The Camera
To ensure safe and continued enjoyment of your Nikon camera, observe the following
precautions and the precautions noted in “For Your Safety” (Ax - xv) when using or storing
your camera.
B Do Not Subject the Product to Strong Shocks
The product may malfunction if dropped or struck. Additionally, do not touch or apply force to the
lens or lens cover.
B Keep Dry
If water enters the camera, internal components may rust or otherwise become damaged, and
repairing the camera may be expensive or even impossible.
B Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day,
can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a
carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
B Keep away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic
radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment
such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card,
or affect the product’s internal circuitry.
B Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or
storing the camera. Intense light may damage the image sensor or other components, producing a
white blur effect in photographs.
