Touching the product's internal parts could result in injury. In the event of a malfunction, the product should be repaired only by a qualified technician. Should the product break open as the result of a fall or other accident, remove the battery and then take the product to a Nikon-authorized service center for inspection.
Observe proper precautions when handling batteries
Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following precautions when handling batteries for use in this product:
- Be sure the product is off before replacing the battery.
- Use only a 3 V CR2 lithium battery.
- When inserting the battery, do not attempt to insert it upside down or backwards.
- Do not short or disassemble the battery.
- Do not expose the battery to flame or to excessive heat.
- Do not immerse in or expose to water.
- Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.
- Immediately after use, or when the product is used on battery power for an extended period, the battery may become hot. Before removing the battery, turn the camera off and allow the battery to cool.
- Discontinue use immediately should you notice any changes in the battery, such as discoloration or deformation.
Keep out of reach of children
Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the battery or other small parts into their mouths.
Observe caution when operating the flash
Using the flash close to your subject's eyes could cause temporary visual impairment. Particular care should be observed if photographing infants, when the flash should be no less than one meter (39^ ) from the subject.
Caring for the Camera and Battery
Keep dry
This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in water or exposed to high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal mechanism can cause irreparable damage.
Keep free of salt, sand, and dust
After using your camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt with a lightly dampened cloth and then dry your camera thoroughly.
Do not touch the lens with your fingers
Use a blower brush to remove dirt and dust from the lens. To remove fingerprints or smudges from the lens' surface, use a soft, clean cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with ethanol (alcohol) or lens cleaner.
■ Handle the lens cover and all moving parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens or to the battery or lens covers. These parts are especially susceptible to damage.
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.
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 charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could affect the product's internal circuitry.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation 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.
Batteries
- When you turn the device on, check the battery-level displayed in the LCD panel to determine whether the battery needs to be replaced. The battery needs to be replaced the low battery power indicator appears in the LCD panel.
- Ready a spare battery when taking pictures on important occasions. Depending on your location, you may find it difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice.
- On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Use a fresh battery at low temperatures. Keep a spare battery in a warm place and exchange the two as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
- Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
Storage
- To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. If you will not be using the product for a long period of time, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not, however, store the camera case in a plastic bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradually loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals.
- Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, close to equipment that produces strong magnetic fields, or in areas subject to extremes of temperature, for example near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a hot day.
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. - Store the battery in a cool, dry place.
