purchase, a plug adapter may be sup-
plied with the charger. The shape of the
adapter varies with the country or region
of purchase. If a plug adapter is supplied,
raise the wall plug and connect the plug
adapter as shown at right, making sure
the plug is fully inserted. Attempting to forcibly remove the plug
adapter could damage the product.

DThe Battery and Charger
Read and follow the warnings and cautions on pages ix–xi and 207–
210 of this manual . Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures
below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 40 °C (104 °F); failure to observe this pre-
caution could damage the battery or impair its performance.
Capacity may be reduced and charging times may increase at bat-
tery temperatures from 0 °C (32 °F) to 10 °C (50 °F) and from 45 °C
(113 °F) to 60 °C (140 °F); the battery  will not charge if its tempera-
ture is below 0 °C (32 °F) or above 60 °C (140 °F).
Charge the battery at ambient temperatures between 5 °C (41 °F)
and 35 °C (95 °F). If the  CHARGE lamp flashes quickly during charging,
cease use immediately and take batte ry and charger to your retailer
or a Nikon-authorized service representative.
Do not move the charger or touch the battery during charging. Fail-
ure to observe this precaution could in very rare instances result in
the charger showing that charging  is complete when the battery is
only partially charged. Remove and reinsert the battery to begin
charging again.
Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug when not
in use.

The camera stores pictures on microSD, microSDHC, and
microSDXC memory cards (available separately; 0203).
Before inserting the battery or memory cards, check that they
are in the correct orientation. Using the battery to keep the
orange battery latch pressed to one side, slide the battery in
until it latches, and then slide in the memory card until it
clicks into place. Do not attempt to insert the card at an angle;
failure to observe this precaution could damage the product.

DInserting and Removing Batteries and Memory Cards
Always turn the camera off before inserting or removing batteries
or memory cards. Note that the battery and memory cards may be
hot after use; observe due caution when removing the battery and
memory cards.
AFormatting Memory Cards
If this is the first time the memory card
will be used in the camera or if the card
has been formatted in another device,
select  Format memory card  in the setup
menu and follow the on-screen instruc-
tions to format the card ( 0195).  Note
that this permanently deletes any data the
card may contain . Be sure to copy any photographs and other data
you wish to keep to a computer before proceeding ( 0140).

off, or remove or disconnect the power source during formatting
or while data are being recorded, deleted, or copied to a com-
puter. Failure to observe these precautions could result in loss of
data or in damage to the camera or card.
• Do not touch the card terminals with your fingers or metal
objects.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject to strong physical shocks.
• Do not apply force to the card casing. Failure to observe this pre-
caution could damage the card.
