Notes on the monitor and viewfinder • The monitor and viewfinder 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 with the product will not be affected. • Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light. • The monitor and viewfinder are lit by a fluorescent backlight. Should the monitor or viewfinder begin to dim or flicker, contact your Nikon service representative. • Do not apply pressure to the monitor or viewfinder, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Dust or lint adhering to the monitor or viewfinder can be removed with a blower brush. Stains can be removed by rubbing the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. 160
