: The FT1 allows NIKKOR F mount lenses to
be used with Nikon 1 interchangeable lens format digital
cameras. The angle of view of an F mount lens mounted on
the FT1 is equivalent to that of a 35 mm format lens with a
focal length about 2.7 × longer. See page 235 for informa-
tion on using the FT1; be sure to update to the latest version
of the FT1 firmware before use. For information on attaching
and removing the FT1 and on precautions for use, see the
FT1 Mount Adapter User’s Manual .

Storage
If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove
the battery and store it in a cool, dry area with the terminal cover
in place. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry,
well-ventilated area. Do not store your camera with naphtha or
camphor moth balls or in locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic
fields, such as televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures above +50 °C (122 °F) or below –10 °C
(14 °F)
Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals . 
Storage and Cleaning
Camera bodyUse a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with
a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or sea-
side, wipe off sand or salt with a cloth lightly dampened in
distilled water and dry thoroughly. 
Important: Dust or other
foreign matter inside the camera may cause damage not cov-
ered under warranty .
LensLenses are easily damaged. Remove dust and lint with a
blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to
prevent the discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and
other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft
cloth and clean with care.
Monitor
Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing finger-
prints and other stains, wipe 
the surface lightly with a soft
cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as this
could result in damage or malfunction.
Dust shield The dust shield is easily damaged. Remove dust and lint
with a blower.

Do not drop: The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or
vibration.
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.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature : Sudden changes in temperature, such
as those that 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 plastic bag before exposing it to
sudden changes in temperature.
Keep away from stro ng magnetic fields: Do not use or store this device in the
vicinity of equipment that generate s strong electromagnetic radiation
or magnetic fields. Strong static ch arges or the magnetic fields produced
by equipment such as radio transmitte rs could interfere with the display,
damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal
circuitry.
Keep the lens mount covered : Be sure to attach the body cap if the camera is
without a lens.
Do not touch the dust shield : The dust shield covering the image sensor is
easily damaged. Under no circumst ances should you exert pressure on
the shield or poke it with cleaning tools. These actions could scratch or
otherwise damage the shield.
Turn the product off before removing  or disconnecting the power source: Do not
unplug the product or remove the battery while the product is on or
while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in
these circumstances could result in lo ss of data or in damage to product
memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption of
power, avoid carrying the product from one location to another while
the AC adapter is connected.
Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions 
						

							208
n
Cleaning: When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove
dust and lint, then wipe gently with  a soft, dry cloth. After using the cam-
era at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly
dampened in pure water and then dry the camera thoroughly.
Lenses are easily damaged. Dust and lint should be gently removed with
a blower. When using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent
discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and other stains from the
lens, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a clean, soft cloth and wipe
the lens carefully.
Storage : To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a cool, dry, well-
ventilated area. If you are using an AC adapter, unplug the adapter to
prevent fire. If the product will not be used for an extended period,
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 mate rial to deteriorate. Note that des-
iccant gradually loses its capacity  to absorb moisture and should be
replaced at regular intervals.
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 it away.
Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Replace the terminal cover before
putting the battery away.
Notes on the monitor : The monitor is constructed with extremely high pre-
cision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01%
being missing or defective. Hence wh ile these displays may contain pix-
els that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or alwa ys 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 in a bright light.
Do not apply pressure to the display, as this could cause damage or mal-
function. Dust or lint on the display can be removed with a blower. Stains
can be removed by wiping lightly wi th a soft cloth or chamois leather.
Should the monitor break, care should  be taken to avoid injury from bro-
ken glass and to prevent liquid crysta l from the display touching the skin
or entering the eyes and mouth.
