* A plug adapter is attached depending on the country or region of purchase. The shape of the plug adapter varies with the country or region of purchase.
Charging starts when the camera is connected to an electrical outlet while the battery is inserted, as shown in the illustration. The power-on lamp (charge lamp) slowly flashes while the battery is charging.
When charging is complete, the power-on lamp (charge lamp) turns off. Unplug the Charging AC Adapter from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the USB cable. Charging time is about 2 hours and 30 minutes for a fully exhausted battery.
The battery cannot be charged when the power-on lamp (charge lamp) quickly flashes, possibly due to one of the reasons described below. - The ambient temperature is not suited to charging. - The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected. - The battery is damaged.
B Notes About the USB Cable Do not use a USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the UC-E21 could
result in overheating, fire, or electric shock. Check the shape and direction of the plugs and do not insert or remove the plugs at an angle.

B Notes About Saving Images or Movies The indicator showing the number of exposures remaining or the indicator showing the remaining recording time flashes while images or movies are being saved. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover or remove the battery or memory card while an indicator is flashing. Doing this could result in loss of data, or in damage to the camera or the memory card.
C The Auto Off Function When no operations are performed for about one minute, the screen turns off, the camera
enters standby mode, and then the power-on lamp flashes. The camera turns off after remaining in standby mode for about three minutes.
To turn the screen back on while the camera is in standby mode, perform an operation such as pressing the power switch or shutter-release button.
C When Using a Tripod We recommend using a tripod to stabilize the camera in the following situations:

The Camera
Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition, do not touch or apply force to the lens or lens cover.
Keep Dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to the memory card or internal circuitry.
Caring for the Product
24 Technical Notes
Notes About the Monitor Monitors (including electronic viewfinders) are constructed with extremely high precision;
at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.
Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting. Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Should
the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
The Battery Precautions for Use Note that the battery may become hot after use. Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0C (32F) or above 40C (104F) as
this could cause damage or malfunction. If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell coming
from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or Nikon- authorized service representative.
After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.
Charging the Battery Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5C to 35C (41F to 95F)
before use. A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or
completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may become hot after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the Charging AC Adapter or a computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 0C (32F) or above 50C (122F).
Do not continue charging once the battery is fully
