Troubleshooting

Technical Notes

Electronically Controlled Cameras

In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the

camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a

strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery,

then turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact

your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative. Note that disconnecting

the power source as described above may result in the loss of any data not

recorded to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem

occurred. Data already recorded will not be affected.
