Technical Notes
Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For
Your Safety” (Avi–viii) when using or storing the device.
The Camera
Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition,
do not touch or apply force to the lens or lens cover.
Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
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.
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. Doing so could result in loss of data or
camera malfunction.
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 cause the image sensor to
deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs.
Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power
Source or Memory Card
Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved
or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data
or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.

Technical Notes
Notes About the Monitor
•Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high precision;
at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or
defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white,
red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect
on images recorded with the device.
•Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
•Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction.
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken
glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or
entering the eyes or mouth.
Notes About Smear
White or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the
monitor. This phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light
strikes the image sensor; it is characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a
malfunction. Smear may also take the form of partial discoloration in the monitor
during shooting. It does not appear in images saved with the camera except in the
cases of movies. When recording movies, we recommend that you avoid bright
subjects such as the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.
The Battery
Precautions for Use
•Note that the battery may become hot after use.
•Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C
(104°F) as this could cause damage or malfunction.
•If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell
coming from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or
Nikon-authorized service representative.
•After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the
battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.
Charging the Battery
Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if
necessary.
•Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to
95°F) before use.
•A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or
completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may
become hot after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging.
When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the Charging AC
Adapter or a computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below
0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
•Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in
reduced battery performance.
•The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a
malfunction.
![](/img.php?id=2497865&img=bg33.png)
116
Technical Notes
Carrying Spare Batteries
Whenever possible, carry fully charged spare batteries when taking pictures on
important occasions.
Using the Battery When Cold
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is
used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a
warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover
some of its charge.
Battery Terminals
Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the
battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
Charging an Exhausted Battery
Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera
may result in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.
Storing the Battery
•Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is
not being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in
the camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and
complete loss of function.
•Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it
before returning it to storage.
•Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place.
The battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature of 15°C
to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.
Battery Life
A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge, when used at
room temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new
battery.
Recycling Used Batteries
Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable
resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
The Charging AC Adapter
•The Charging AC Adapter EH-70P is for use only with compatible devices. Do not
use with another make or model of device.
•Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other

recommended memory cards.
•Be sure to follow the precautions described in the documentation included with
the memory card.
•Do not put labels or stickers on memory cards.
Formatting
•Do not format the memory card using a computer.
•The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into
this camera, be sure to format it with this camera. We recommend formatting new
memory cards with this camera before using them with this camera.
•Note that formatting a memory card permanently deletes all images and
other data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish
to keep before formatting the memory card.
•If the message Card is not formatted. Format card? is displayed when the
camera is turned on, the memory card must be formatted. If there is data that you
do not want to delete, select No. Copy the necessary data to a computer, etc. If you
want to format the memory card, select Yes. The confirmation dialog will be
displayed. To start formatting, press the k button.
•Do not perform the following during formatting, while data is being written to or
deleted from the memory card, or during data transfer to a computer. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in the loss of data or in damage to the camera
or memory card:
- Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover to remove/insert the battery
or memory card.
-Turn off the camera.
- Disconnect the AC adapter.

Technical Notes
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage
Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period. To
prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month.
Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the
camera away again. Do not store the camera in any of the following locations:
•Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%
•Exposed to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below –10°C (14°F)
•Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
For storing the battery, follow the precautions in “The Battery” (A115) in
“Caring for the Product” (A114).
Cleaning and Storage
Lens
Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with
a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one
end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To
remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a
blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that
starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges. If this
fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened with commercial
lens cleaner.
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, dirt, or sand, then wipe gently with a
soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or other sandy or
dusty environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth
lightly dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that
foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not
covered by the warranty.
