xiIntroductionThis product is controlled by the United States Export Administration Regulations, and you are required to obtain permission from the United States government if you export or re-export this product to any country to which the United States embargoes goods. The following countries were subject to embargo: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Since the target countries are subject to change, please contact the United States Department of Commerce for the latest information.Restrictions on Wireless DevicesThe wireless transceiver included in this product conforms to wireless regulations in the country of sale and is not for use in other countries (products purchased in the EU or EFTA can be used anywhere within the EU and EFTA). Nikon does not accept liability for use in other countries. Users who are unsure as to the original country of sale should consult with their local Nikon service center or Nikon-authorized service representative. This restriction applies to wireless operation only and not to any other use of the product.Notice for Customers in the U.S.A. and CanadaFederal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC) Declaration of ConformityThis device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.FCC/IC RF Exposure StatementThis transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. Wi-Fi (Wireless LAN Network)

Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.BNotes About Recorded Movies•When recording movies with f 720/30p or V 720/25p selected for Movie options, the angle of view (the area captured in the recorded movie) is smaller than when taking still images.•There may be some degradation in image quality when digital zoom is used. •The sounds of zoom control operation, zoom, autofocus lens drive movement, movie vibration reduction, and aperture operation when brightness changes may be recorded.•Smear (A115) visible in the monitor with movie recording will be recorded with movies. Avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and electric lights when recording movies is recommended.•Depending on the distance to the subject or the amount of zoom applied, colored stripes may appear on subjects with repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) during movie recording and playback. This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere with each other; it is not a malfunction.BNotes About Vibration Reduction During Movie Recording•When Movie VR (A85) in the movie menu is set to On (hybrid), the angle of view (i.e., the area visible in the frame) becomes narrower during movie recording.•When using a tripod to stabilize the camera during shooting, set Movie VR to Off to prevent potential errors caused by this function.BNotes About Autofocus for Movie RecordingAutofocus may not perform as expected (A46). Should this occur, try the following:1. Set Autofocus mode in the movie menu to Single AF (default setting) before starting movie recording.2. Frame another subject (positioned at the same distance from the camera as the intended subject) in the center of the frame, press the b (e movie-record) button to start recording, and modify the composition.
