Troubleshooting
A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the control panel 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 (available sepa-
rately), disconnect and reconnect the adapter and turn the camera on again.
If the
problem persists, press the reset switch (see right) and then reset the camera clock
to the correct date and time (
68).
In the event of
continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon
representative.
Note that disconnecting the power
source as described above may result in loss of any
data not recorded to the memory card at the time the
problem occurred.
Data already recorded to the card
will not be affected.
