Technical Notes

Caring for Your Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following pre-

cautions when storing or using the device:

Keep dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in

water or subjected to high levels of mois-

ture.

Handle the lens and all mov-

ing parts with care

Do not apply force to the lens, monitor, or to

the connector, card slot, or battery chamber

covers. These parts are especially susceptible

to damage.

Do not point the lens at

strong light sources for ex-

tended 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 deterioration in the

CCD image sensor, producing a white blur

effect in photographs.

Turn the product off before

removing or disconnecting

the power source

Do not unplug the product or remove the

batteries while the product is on, or while

images are being recorded or deleted. Forc-

ibly cutting power in these circumstances

could result in loss of data or in damage to

product memory or internal circuitry. To pre-

vent an accidental interruption of power,

avoid carrying the product from one place to

another while the AC adapter (available sep-

arately) is connected.

Do not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to

strong shocks or vibration.

Keep away from strong mag-

netic fields

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity

of equipment that generates strong electro-

magnetic radiation or magnetic fields.

Strong static charges or the magnetic fields

produced by equipment such as radio trans-

mitters could interfere with the monitor,

damage data stored on the memory card, or

affect the product’s internal circuitry.

Avoid sudden changes in tem-

perature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as oc-

cur when entering or leaving a heated build-

ing on a cold day, can cause condensation

inside the device.

To prevent condensation, place the device in

a carrying case or a plastic bag before expos-

ing it to sudden changes in temperature.

AF-Assist Illuminator

The light-emitting diode (LED) used in the

AF-assist illuminator (c125) conforms to

the following IEC standard:

Technical Notes

Cleaning

Lens

One key to cleaning the lens is to not touch it with your fingers. 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 cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft

cloth, using a spiral motion 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, dirt or sand 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

dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly.

The camera may be damaged if foreign matter gets inside the camera body. Nikon

cannot accept liability for damage caused by dirt or sand.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Avoid contact with liquid crystal

Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and to

prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

Notes on the Monitor

•The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a char-

acteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images

recorded using 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 smear may appear in movies.

•Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.

•The monitor is lit by an LED backlit. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact

your Nikon service representative.

Technical Notes

Storage

Turn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp is off be-

fore putting the camera away. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a

dry, well-ventilated area. If you will not be using the product for long periods, re-

move the battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag con-

taining a desiccant. Do not store the camera case (available separately) in a plastic

bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradually

loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals.

Do not store your camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in locations

that:

•are poorly ventilated or damp

•are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as tele-

visions or radios

•are exposed to temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above 50°C (122°F; for

example near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a sunny day)

•are subject to humidities of over 60%

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.

When the battery is not in use, replace the terminal cover and store the battery in

a cool, dry place. The battery should be recharged at least once a year; run the

battery flat before returning it to storage.

Batteries

•Check the battery level when taking the camera out and charge the battery if necessary

(c8). Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in re-

duced battery performance. If possible, carry a spare EN-EL8 battery when taking pictures

on important occasions.

•On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fully

charged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries in

a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some

of its charge.

•Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.

•Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with lo-

cal regulations.

Troubleshooting

If your camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems

below before consulting your retailer or Nikon representative. Refer to the page

numbers listed in the right-most column for information on solving the problems

listed here.

Electronically-Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the camera

may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static

charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery, and turn the camera on again,

or, if you are using an AC adapter (optional), disconnect and reconnect the adapter, and turn

the camera on again. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may re-

sult in the loss of any data not recorded to the memory or memory card at the time the prob-

lem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory or memory card will not be affected.
