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” (A29) when using or storing the device.
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
Keep Dry
The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high
humidity.
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.
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 product’s internal circuitry.
34
Notices
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 image sensor, producing a white blur effect in
photographs.
B
Turn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the
Power Source or the 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.
• 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.

Before Taking Important Pictures
Before taking pictures 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 user’s 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, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also
replace any pictures 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.
You can clear the Wi-Fi settings using Restore default settings in the
Wi-Fi options menu (A26).
