Caring for the Camera

Technical Notes

Cleaning

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Storage

Turn the camera off when not in use. Check that the power-on lamp is off before

putting the camera away. Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an

extended period. Do not store the camera with naptha or camphor moth balls, or

in any of the following locations:

• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as

televisions or radios

• Exposed to temperatures below –10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F)

• Poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60 %

To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month.

Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera

away again.

B Use Only Nikon Flash Accessories

Use only Nikon Speedlights. Negative voltages or voltages over 250 V applied to the accessory shoe

could not only prevent normal operation, but damage the sync circuitry of the camera or flash.

Before using a Nikon Speedlight not listed in this section, contact a Nikon-authorized service

representative for more information.

C Notes on the Monitor

• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic

common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded using the

product will not be affected.

• When framing bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may

appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as “smear,” does not appear in the final

photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.

• 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.

Lens/

viewfinder

Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a

blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is

pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints

or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a

soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and

working toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly

dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

Monitor

Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains,

clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

Body

Use a blower to remove dust, dirt or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry

cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt

with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly. Note

that foreign matter inside the camera could cause damage not covered by

the warranty.
