The Camera
Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the CameraThe product may malfunction if subjected to  strong shock or vibration. In addition, 
do not touch or apply force to the lens or lens cover.
Keep DryThe device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.
Avoid Sudden Changes in TemperatureSudden changes in temperature, such as when entering  or leaving a heated building
on a cold day, can cause  condensation to form 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.
Keep Away from Stro ng Magnetic FieldsDo not use or store this device in the vi cinity of equipment that generates strong 
electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields.  Doing so could result in loss of data or 
camera malfunction.
Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended PeriodsAvoid pointing the lens at the sun or othe r strong light sources for extended periods 
when using or storing the  camera. Intense light may cause the image sensor to 
deteriorate or produce a white  blur effect in photographs.

Notes About the Monitor•Monitors and electronic viewfinders are co nstructed with extremely high precision; 
at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, wi th no more than 0.01% being missing or 
defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, 
red, blue, or green) or always  off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect 
on images recorded with the device.
• Images in the monitor may be diffic ult to see under bright lighting.
• Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. 
Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken 
glass and to prevent the liquid crystal  from the display touching the skin or 
entering the eyes or mouth.
The Battery
Precautions for Use• Note that the battery may become hot after use.
• Do not use the battery at ambient temper atures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C 
(104°F) as this could cause damage or malfunction.
• If you notice any abnormalities such as ex cessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell 
coming from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or 
Nikon-authorized service representative.
• After removing the battery from the camera  or optional battery charger, put the 
battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.
Charging the BatteryCheck the battery level before using the camera and replace or ch arge the battery if 
necessary.
• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 
95°F) before use.
• A high battery temperature may prevent th e battery from charging properly or 
completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may 
become hot after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. 
When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the Charging AC 
Adapter or a computer, the battery is no t charged at battery temperatures below 
0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
• Do not continue charging once the battery  is fully charged as this will result in 
reduced battery performance.
• The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a 
malfunction.
Carrying Spare BatteriesWhenever possible, carry fully charged sp are batteries when taking pictures on 
important occasions. 
						

							Technical Notes and Index

Using the Battery When ColdOn cold days, the capacity of batteries tend s to decrease. If an exhausted battery is 
used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a 
warm place and exchange as necessary.  Once warmed, a cold battery may recover 
some of its charge.
Battery TerminalsDirt on the battery terminals may prevent the  camera from functioning. Should the battery 
terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.
Charging an Exhausted BatteryTurning the camera on or off while an exhaus ted battery is inserted in the camera may 
result in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.
Storing the Battery• Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery  charger when it is 
not being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in 
the camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and 
complete loss of function.
• Recharge the battery at least once ever y six months and completely exhaust it 
before returning it to storage.
• Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order  to insulate it and store it in a cool place. 
The battery should be stored in a dry lo cation with an ambient temperature of 
15°C to 25°C (59°F to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold 
locations.
Battery LifeA marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge, when used at 
room temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new 
battery.
Recycling Used BatteriesReplace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable 
resource. Please recycle used batteries  in accordance with local regulations.
The Charging AC Adapter
•The Charging AC Adapter EH-71P/EH-71PC H is for use only with compatible 
devices. Do not use with another make or model of device.
• Do not use any USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the 
UC-E21 could result in overheat ing, fire or electric shock.
• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than 
Charging AC Adapter EH-71P/EH-71PCH, and do not use a commercially available USB-
AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution 
could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.
•
The EH-71P/EH-71PCH is compatible with AC  100-240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. 
When using in other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as necessary. 
For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency.

Cleaning
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Storage
Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period. 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. Do not store the camera in any of the following locations:
•Places that are poorly ventilated or  subject to humidity of over 60%

• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as 
televisions or radios
For storing the battery, follow the precautions in “The Battery” ( F3) in “Caring 
for the Product” ( F2).
Cleaning and Storage
Lens
Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with 
a blower (typically a small device wi th 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 an d 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 other sandy or dusty 
environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly 
dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly.
