Foreign Matter on the Low-Pass Filter Nikon takes every possible precaution to prevent foreign matter from coming into contact with the low-pass filter during production and shipping. The D50, however, is designed to be used with interchangeable lenses, and foreign matter may enter the camera when lenses are removed or exchanged. Once inside the camera, this foreign matter may adhere to the low-pass filter, where it may appear in photographs taken under certain conditions. To prevent foreign matter from entering the camera, do not exchange lenses in dusty environments. To protect the camera when no lens is in place, be sure to replace the body cap provided with the camera, being careful to first remove all dust and other foreign matter that may be adhering to the body cap. Should foreign matter find its way onto the low-pass filter, clean the low-pass filter as instructed on pages 116-117 of this manual, or have the low-pass filter cleaned by authorized Nikon service personnel. Photographs affected by the presence of foreign matter on the low-pass filter can be retouched using Nikon Capture 4 version 4.3 or later (available separately) or the clean image options available in some third-party imaging software. Take Test Shots Before taking pictures on important occasions (for example, at weddings or before taking the camera with you on a trip), take a test shot to ensure that the camera is functioning normally. Nikon will not be held liable for damages or lost profits that may result from product malfunction.

Foreign Matter on the Low-Pass Filter
Nikon takes every possible precaution to prevent foreign matter from coming into
contact with the low-pass filter during production and shipping.
The D50, however,
is designed to be used with interchangeable lenses, and foreign matter may enter the
camera when lenses are removed or exchanged.
Once inside the camera, this foreign
matter may adhere to the low-pass filter, where it may appear in photographs taken
under certain conditions.
To prevent foreign matter from entering the camera, do
not exchange lenses in dusty environments.
To protect the camera when no lens is in
place, be sure to replace the body cap provided with the camera, being careful to first
remove all dust and other foreign matter that may be adhering to the body cap.
Should foreign matter find its way onto the low-pass filter, clean the low-pass filter as
instructed on pages 116–117 of this manual, or have the low-pass filter cleaned by
authorized Nikon service personnel.
Photographs affected by the presence of foreign
matter on the low-pass filter can be retouched using Nikon Capture 4 version 4.3 or
later (available separately) or the clean image options available in some third-party
imaging software.
Take Test Shots
Before taking pictures on important occasions (for example, at weddings or before
taking the camera with you on a trip), take a test shot to ensure that the camera is
functioning normally.
Nikon will not be held liable for damages or lost profits that
may result from product malfunction.
