Caring for your Camera and Battery
To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following precau-
tions when using or storing the device.Keep dry
The device will be damaged if immersed
in water or subjected to high levels of
moisture.
Handle the lens and all moving
parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens or to the
battery, card, and connector covers.
These parts are especially susceptible to
damage.
Turn the product off before re-
moving 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 de-
leted. Forcibly cutting power to the
product in these circumstances could
result in loss 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.
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subject-
ed to strong shocks or vibration. Keep away from strong magnet-
ic fields
Do not use or store this device in the vi-
cinity of equipment that generates
strong electromagnetic radiation or
magnetic fields. Strong static charges or
the magnetic fields produced by equip-
ment such as radio transmitters could
interfere with the monitor, damage
data stored on the memory card, or af-
fect the product’s internal circuitry.
Avoid sudden changes in tem-
perature
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 de-
vice in a carrying case or a plastic bag
before exposing it to sudden changes in
temperature.
Connect the tripod directly tothe camera tripod socket
For stability when using a tripod, re-
move the camera from the COOL-STA-
TION and connect the tripod directly to
the camera tripod socket. The camera
tripod socket is located on the bottom
of the camera.

Cleaning
Lens
Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber
bulb attached to one end that you pump to produce a stream of air out
the other). To remove fingerprints or other stains that can not be re-
moved with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral mo-
tion that starts in the center of the lens and works out to the edges.
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 and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry
cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand
or salt with a cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thor-
oughly.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors and does not indicate a
malfunction. Images recorded with the product will not be affected.
• When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either end may appear in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as “smear,”
does not appear in the final photograph and does not indicate a malfunction.
Some smearing may appear in movies.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flick- er, contact your Nikon service representative.

Storage
Turn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp
is off before putting the camera away. To prevent mold or mildew, store
the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. If you will not be using the
product for long periods, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and
store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not store the
camera case (available separately) 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 your camera with
naphtha or camphor moth balls or in locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or damp
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures below -10 °C (14 °F) or above 50 °C (122 °F; for
example near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a sunny day)
• are subject to humidity of over 60%
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 batteries in a cool, dry place.
Batteries
• When you turn the device on, check the battery-level displayed in the monitor to determine whether the battery needs to be replaced. A warning will be dis-
played when the battery needs to be replaced.
• Ready a spare battery and keep it fully charged when taking pictures on impor- tant occasions. Depending on your location, you may find it difficult to pur-
chase replacement batteries on short notice.
• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure the battery is fully charged before taking pictures outside in cold weather. Keep a spare bat-
tery 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.
• Used batteries are valuable resources. Please recycle used batteries in accor- dance with local regulations.
