Introduction Notes About Operating Temperature and Humidity and Condensation The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). b Operating environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity may cause fogging (condensation) on the inside of the monitor, lens, or flash window. This is not a camera malfunction or defect. b Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation inside of the camera Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor, lens, or flash window in the following environmental conditions where there are sharp temperature changes or high humidity. • The camera is suddenly immersed in low temperature underwater from high temperature on land. • The camera is moved from a cold place to a warm place, such as inside a building. • The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is open or closed in a high-humidity environment. b Clearing the fogging • Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and internal cover after turning off the camera in a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid any place that has high temperature/high-humidity, sand or dust). To clear the fogging, remove the batteries and memory card, and leave the camera with the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and internal cover open to allow the camera to adjust to the ambient temperature. • If the fogging does not clear, consult your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative. xxi
