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 ex-
ternal static charge.
Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery (note that the
battery may be hot), and turn the camera on again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (avail-
able separately), disconnect and reconnect the adapter and turn the camera on again.
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.
