PC Mode Precautions Be sure to perform all transfer operations from the computer. • Use PictureProject Transfer when using PictureProject. • If PictureProject is not being used, drag and drop the image from the mounted camera. 148 en_q3175.book Page 149 Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:54 AM Printing Images from a Printer Connected to a Computer - Wireless Printing CHOOSE PROFILE 1/3 CHOOSE PROFILE 1/3 Profile-A Profile-A Profile-B Profile-B Profile-C Profile-C Confirm Help Confirm Help Rotate the mode dial to Y and turn the Highlight the profile to which to connect. camera on.

Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and push the battery latch and remove the EP-62C from the camera. 151 en_q3175.book Page 152 Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:54 AM Caring for Your Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following precautions when storing or using the device: Keep dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high levels of moisture. Handle the lens and all moving 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 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 deterioration in the CCD image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs. Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source Technical Notes Do not unplug the product or remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption of power, avoid carrying the product from one place to another while the AC adapter (available separately) is connected. 152 Do not drop The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration. 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 charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry. Avoid sudden changes in temperature Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when entering or leaving a heated building 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 exposing 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: en_q3175.book Page 153 Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:54 AM 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. • 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 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. 153 Technical Notes Notes on the Monitor en_q3175.book Page 154 Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:54 AM Storage Turn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp is off before 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, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag containing 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 televisions 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 Technical Notes • 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 reduced 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 local regulations. 154 en_q3175.book Page 155 Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:54 AM Error Messages The following table lists the error messages and other warnings that appear in the monitor and how to deal with them.

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 result in the loss of any data not recorded to the memory or memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory or memory card will not be affected. Problem Possible cause • Camera is off. • Monitor is off. • Battery is not correctly inserted or battery-chamber/ memory card slot cover is not properly latched. • Battery is exhausted.
