It damages the camera. • Cleaning camera body Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the camera body and clean it with a soft, clean cloth. After using the camera near seawater, wipe the camera body with a soft, clean cloth slightly moistened with pure water to remove salt, and then dry it with a dry cloth. • Cleaning mirror and lens Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the mirror or lens. To remove fingerprints or smudges from the lens' surface, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner. • Do not subject the camera or lens to strong vibration or shock Do not drop the camera body and lens or hit them against a hard surface as this may damage their precision mechanism. • Do not touch the shutter curtains The shutter is made of very thin curtains. Do not hold, poke, or blow strongly with a blower brush. Doing so may scratch, deform or tear the shutter curtains. • Avoid strong electric or magnetic fields The camera may not function properly in strong electric or magnetic fields such as near a transmitter tower. Avoid using the camera in such locations. • Store the camera in a cool, dry place Store the camera in a cool, dry place to prevent mold and mildew. Keep it away from naphthalene or camphor (moth repellent), electrical appliances that generate magnetic fields or an excessively hot place such as inside a vehicle during the summer or near a heater. • Avoid extreme temperature change An extreme temperature change can cause condensation inside the camera body. When taking the camera to a very hot place from a very cold place or vice versa, place it inside an airtight container such as a plastic bag and leave it inside a while to expose the camera gradually to the temperature change. 96 • Remove the batteries and store the camera with a desiccant If you do not intend to use the camera for a long time, remove the batteries to protect the camera from battery leakage. • In a humid environment, store the camera inside a plastic bag with a desiccant to keep out dust, moisture and salt. Note, however, that storing leather cases in vinyl bags may cause the leather to deteriorate. Keep the batteries in a cool, dry place away from heat or humidity. • Change the desiccant occasionally since it does not absorb moisture effectively after a while. • Leaving the camera unused for a long period of time may cause mold to grow and result in malfunction. Turn the power on and release the shutter a few times once per month. Nikon cannot be held responsible for any malfunction resulting from the use of the camera other than as specified in this manual. 97 Miscellaneous
