Failure to observe this precaution could cause damage or fire.

Observe caution when handling the battery

The battery may leak, overheat or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following precautions when handling the battery for use in this product: Before replacing the battery, turn the

product off. If you are using the Charging AC Adapter/AC adapter, be sure it is unplugged.

Use only a Rechargeable Li-ion Battery EN-EL19 (included). Charge the battery by using a camera that supports battery charging. To perform this operation, use either Charging AC Adapter EH-70P (included) or the Charge by computer function. The Battery Charger MH-66 (available separately) is also available to charge the battery without using a camera.

When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside down or backwards.

Do not short or disassemble the battery or attempt to remove or break the battery insulation or casing.

Notices 37

Caring for the Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in For Your Safety (A32-35) when using or storing the device.

B Keep Dry The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.

B Do Not Drop The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.

B Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care

Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens. 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.

B Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods

Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause deterioration of the CCD image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.

B Keep Away from Strong Magnetic Fields

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card, or affect the products internal circuitry.

B 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.

Notices 38

B Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source or Memory Card

Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.

B Notes About the Monitor Monitors and 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.

White or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as smear, occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor; it is characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also take the form of partial

discoloration in the monitor during shooting. It does not appear in images saved with the camera except in the cases of movies and of images saved with Multi-shot 16 selected for Continuous. When shooting in these modes, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such as the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.

Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.

The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your Nikon-authorized service representative.

B About the Manuals Nikon will not be held liable for any damages resulting from the use of this product.

Notices 39

Before Taking Important Images Before taking images on important occasions (such as at weddings or before taking the camera on a trip), take a test shot to ensure that the camera is functioning normally. Nikon will not be held liable for damages or lost profits that may result from product malfunction.

Disposing of Data Storage Devices Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or built in camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the users responsibility.

Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images containing no private information (for example, images of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any images selected for the Select an image option in the Welcome screen setting. Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices.
