    Filters• 
    Nikon fi lters can be divided into three types: screw-in, drop-in, and rear-inter-
    change.  Use Nikon fi  lters; other fi  lters may interfere with au to fo cus or elec tron ic 
    range fi nd ing.
    •  The D200 can not be used with linear polarizing fi lters.  Use the C-PL circular 
    polarizing fi lter instead.
    •  The NC and L37C fi lters are recommended for pro tect ing the lens.
    • When using an R60 fi lter, set exposure compensation to +1.•  To prevent moiré, use of a fi lter is not recommended when the sub ject is 
    framed against a bright light, or when a bright light source is in the frame.
    •  Center-weighted metering is recommended with fi  lters with exposure factors 
    (fi lter factors) over 1 × (Y48, O56, R60, X0, X1, C-PL, ND4S, ND8S, A2, A12, B2,

    Caring for the Camera
    Storage
    When the camera will not be used for an extended period, replace the mon-
      i tor cover, remove the battery, and store the battery in a cool, dry area with the 
    terminal cover in place.  To pre vent mold or mil dew, store the cam era in a dry, 
    well-ven ti lat ed area.  Do not store your cam era with naph tha or cam phor moth 
    balls or in lo ca tions that:
    •  are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
    • are next to equipment that produces strong elec tro mag net ic fi elds, such as 
    televisions or radios
    • are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C/122 °F (for example, near a space 
    heater or in a closed ve hi cle on a hot day) or below –10 °C (14 °F)
    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 seaside, wipe off  sand or salt 
    with a cloth lightly dampened in distilled water and dry thor ough ly.IMPORTANT: Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera may cause 
    damage not covered under warranty.
    Lens,
    mirror, and 
    viewfi nderThese elements are made of glass and are easily dam aged.  Remove dust 
    and lint with a blower.  If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to 
    prevent the discharge of liquid.  To remove fi ngerprints and other stains, 
    apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and clean with care.
    MonitorRemove dust and lint with a blower.  When removing fi ngerprints and oth-
    er stains, wipe the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leath er.  Do 
    not apply pressure, as this could result in damage or malfunction. 
     The Monitor
    Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and 
    to prevent liquid crystal from entering your eyes and mouth.
     The Control Panel
    Rarely, static electricity may cause the control panel to brighten or darken.  This does not 
    indicate a malfunction; the display will shortly return to normal.

    Technical Notes—Caring for the Camera
     Use a Reliable Power Source
    The camera shutter curtain is delicate and easily damaged.  If the camera powers off  while 
    the mirror is raised, the shutter curtain will close automatically.  Observe the following pre-
    cautions to prevent damage to the curtain:
    •  Use a fully-charged battery or an EH-6 AC adapter (available separately) for prolonged 
    inspection or cleaning of the low-pass fi lter.
    •  Do not turn the camera off  or remove or disconnect the power source while the mirror is 
    raised.
    •  If the battery runs low while the mirror is raised, a beep will sound and the AF-assist il-
    luminator will blink to warn that the shutter curtain will close and the mirror will lower in 
    about two minutes.  End cleaning or inspection immediately.
    The Low-Pass Filter
    The image sensor that acts as the cam era’s picture element is fi tted with a low-
    pass fi lter to prevent moiré.  Al though this fi lter prevents foreign objects from 
    adhering directly to the image sensor, under certain con di tions dirt or dust on 
    the fi lter may appear in photographs.  If you suspect that dirt or dust in side 
    the camera is aff ecting your pho to graphs, you can clean the fi lter as described 
    below.  Note, however, that the low-pass fi lter is extremely delicate and easily 
    damaged.  Nikon recommends that fi lter be cleaned only by Nikon-authorized 
    service personnel.
    1 Remove the lens and turn the camera on.
    2 Display the Mirror Lock-up menu and press 
    the multi selector right (
     117; note that this 
    option is not available at battery levels of 
     
    or below, while shooting multiple exposures, or 
    when using an optional MB-D200 battery pack 
    with AA batteries).  The message shown at right 
    will be displayed and a row of dashes will appear 
    in the control panel and viewfi nder.  To return 
    to normal operation without raising the mirror, 
    turn the camera off .
    3 Press the shut ter-re lease but ton all the way 
    down.  The mir ror will be raised and the shut ter 
    cur tain will open, re veal ing the low-pass fi l ter, 
    and a row of dashes will blink in the control pan-
    el.  The display in the viewfi nder will turn off .

    Technical Notes—Caring for the Camera
    5 Re move any dust and lint from the fi lter with a 
    blow er.  Do not use a blower-brush, as the bris-
      tles could damage the fi lter.  Dirt that can not 
    be removed with a blower can only be re moved 
    by  Nikon-au tho rized  ser vice  per son nel.    Un der 
    no circumstances should you touch or wipe the 
    fi l  t er. 
    6 Turn the camera off .  The mirror will return to the down position and the 
    shutter curtain will close.  Replace the lens or body cap.
    4 Holding the camera so that light falls on the low-
    pass fi lter, ex am ine the fi lter for dust or lint.  If no 
    foreign objects are present, proceed to Step 6.
     Foreign Matter on the Low-Pass Filter
    Nikon takes every possible precaution to pre vent foreign matter from com ing into con tact 
    with the low-pass fi lter during production and ship ping.  The D200, how ev er, is designed 
    to be used with interchangeable lens es, and for eign matter may enter the camera when 
    lens es are removed or exchanged.  Once inside the camera, this for eign matter may adhere 
    to the low-pass fi lter, where it may appear in photographs tak en under cer tain con di tions.  
    To prevent foreign matter from entering the camera, do not exchange lenses in dusty envi-
    ronments.  To pro tect the camera when no lens is in place, be sure to replace the body cap 
    pro vid ed with the camera, being care ful to fi rst remove all dust and other foreign matter 
    that may be ad her ing to the body cap.
    Should foreign matter fi nd its way onto the low-pass fi lter, clean the low-pass fi lter as in-
    structed on pages 185–186 of this manual, or have the low-pass fi lter cleaned by autho-
    rized Nikon ser vice per son nel.  Pho to graphs aff ected by the presence of for eign matter on 
    the low-pass fi lter can be re touched us ing Nikon Capture 4 Version 4.4 or later (available 
    separately) or the clean image options available in some third-party im ag ing software.
     Servicing the Camera and Accessories
    The D200 is a precision device and requires regular servicing.  Nikon recommends that the 
    camera be inspected by the original retailer or Nikon service representative once every 
    one to two years, and that it be serviced once every three to fi ve years (note that fees ap-
    ply to these services).  Frequent inspection and servicing are particularly recommended if 
    the camera is used professionally.  Any accessories regularly used with the camera, such 
    as lenses or optional Speedlights, should be included when the camera is inspected or 
    serviced.

    Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions
    Do not drop
    The product may malfunction if sub ject ed to 
    strong shocks or vi bra tion.
    Keep dry
    This product is not waterproof, and may mal-
      func tion if im mersed in wa ter or ex posed to 
    high levels of hu mid i ty.  Rust ing of the in ter nal 
    mech a nism  can  cause  ir rep a ra ble  dam age.
    Avoid sudden changes in tem per a tureSud den  chang es  in  tem per a ture,  such  as  oc cur 
    when en ter ing or leav ing a heat ed build ing on 
    a cold day, can cause con den sa tion in side the 
    de vice.  To prevent con den sa tion, place the de-
    vice in a car ry ing case or a plas tic bag be fore 
    ex pos ing it to sud den chang es in tem per a ture.
    Keep away from strong mag net ic fi  eldsDo not use or store this device in the vi cin i ty 
    of equip ment that gen er ates strong elec tro -
    mag net ic  radiation  or  mag net ic  fi  elds.    Strong 
    static charg es or the mag net ic fi elds pro duced 
    by equip ment such as radio trans mit ters could 
    in ter fere with the monitor, dam age data stored 
    on the mem o ry card, or aff ect the prod uct’s in-
      ter nal  cir cuit ry.
    Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun
    Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun or 
    another sight source for an extended period.  
    Intense light may cause the image sensor to 
    deteriorate or produce a white blur eff ect in 
    photographs.
    Blooming
    Vertical white streaks may appear in photo-
    graphs of the sun or other strong light sources.  
    This phenomenon, known as “blooming,” can 
    be prevented by reducing the amount of light 
    that falls on the image sensor, either by choos-
    ing a slow shutter speed and small aperture or 
    by using an ND fi lter. Do not touch the shutter curtain
    The shutter curtain is extremely thin and eas-
    ily damaged.  Under no cir cum stanc es should 
    you exert pres sure on the curtain, poke it with 
    clean ing tools, or sub ject it to powerful air 
    cur rents from a blow er.  These actions could 
    scratch, de form, or tear the curtain.
    Handle all mov ing parts with care
    Do not ap ply force to the bat tery-cham ber, 
    card-slot, or con nec tor cov ers.  These parts are 
    es pe cial ly  sus cep ti ble  to  dam age.
    Cleaning
    •  When cleaning the camera body, use a blow-
      er to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently 
    with a soft, dry cloth.  After using your cam-
    era at the beach or seaside, wipe off  any sand 
    or salt using a cloth lightly damp ened with 
    pure water and then dry your camera thor-
    oughly.  In rare in stanc es, static electricity 
    produced by a brush or cloth may cause the 
    LCD dis plays to light up or dark en.  This does 
    not in di cate a malfunction, and the dis play 
    will shortly return to normal.
    •  When cleaning the lens and mirror, re mem ber 
    that these elements are easily dam aged.  
    Dust and lint should be gen tly removed with 
    a blower.  When using an aerosol blower, 
    keep the can vertical (tilting the can could 
    result in liquid be ing sprayed on the mir ror).  
    If you do get a fi ngerprint or other stain on 
    the lens, apply a small amount of lens cleaner 
    to a soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.
    •  See “Cleaning the Low-Pass Filter” for informa-
    tion on cleaning the low-pass fi lter (
     185).

    Technical Notes—Caring for the Camera
    Storage
    •  To prevent mold or mildew, store the cam era 
    in a dry, well-ven ti lat ed area.  If you will not be 
    us ing the prod uct for long pe ri ods, re move 
    the bat tery to pre vent leak age and store the 
    cam era in a plastic bag con tain ing a des ic cant.  
    Do not, how ev er, store the cam era case in a 
    plas tic bag, as this may cause the ma te ri al to 
    de te ri o rate.    Note  that  des ic cant  grad u al ly  los es 
    its ca pac i ty to ab sorb mois ture and should be 
    re 
    placed  at  reg u lar  in ter vals.
    •  Do not store the camera with naph tha or 
    camphor moth balls, close to equip ment 
    that pro duc es strong mag net ic fi elds, or in 
    areas subject to extremes of tem per a ture, for 
    ex am ple near a space heater or in a closed 
    ve 
    hi cle on a hot day.
    •  To prevent mold or mil dew, take the cam era 
    out of storage at least once a month.  Turn 
    the camera on and re lease the shut ter a few 
    times before putting the cam era away again.
    •  Store the battery in a cool, dry place.  Replace 
    the terminal cover before put ting the battery 
    away.
    Notes on the monitor
    •  The monitor may contain a few pix els that 
    are always lit or that do not light.  This is a 
    char ac ter is tic  com mon  to  all  TFT  LCD  moni-
    tors and does not in di cate a mal func tion.  Im-
      ag es re cord ed with the prod uct will not be 
    aff  ect ed.
    •  Images in the mon i tor may be diffi 
       
    cult to see 
    in a bright light.
    •  Do not apply pressure to the monitor; this 
    could cause dam age or mal func tion.  Dust or 
    lint on the mon i tor can be re moved with a 
    blower.  Stains can be re moved by rub bing 
    the surface light ly with a soft cloth or cham-
      ois leath er.
    • Should the monitor break, care should be 
    taken to avoid injury due to bro ken glass and 
    to pre vent the liq uid crystal from the moni-
    tor touch ing the skin or en ter ing the eyes or 
    mouth.
    •  Replace the monitor cover when trans port ing 
    the camera or leaving it un at tend ed.Turn the product off  before re mov ing or disconnecting 
    the power source
    Do not unplug the product or re move the bat-
    tery while the prod uct is on, or while im ag es 
    are being recorded or deleted.  Forc ibly cut ting 
    pow er to the prod uct in these cir cum stanc es 
    could re sult in loss of data or in damage to 
    product memory or internal circuitry.  To pre-
      vent  an  ac ci den tal  in ter rup tion  of  pow er,  avoid 
    car ry ing the prod uct from one lo ca tion to an-
      oth er while the AC adapter is con nect ed.
    Batteries
    •  Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the 
    camera from functioning.
    •  When you turn the device on, check the bat-
    tery-level dis played in the con trol pan el to 
    de ter mine whether the bat tery needs to be 
    recharged or replaced.  The bat tery needs to 
    be recharged or replaced when the battery-
    level  in di ca tor  is  fl  ash ing.
    •  When tak ing pho to graphs on im por tant oc-
      ca sions, ready a spare EN-EL3e bat tery and 
    keep it ful ly charged.  De pend ing on your 
    lo ca tion, you may fi nd it diffi  cult to pur chase 
    re 
    place ment bat ter ies on short notice.
    •  On cold days, the capacity of bat ter ies tends 
    to de crease.  Be sure the battery is fully 
    charged before tak ing pho to graphs out side 
    in cold weath er.  Keep a spare bat tery in a 
    warm place and ex change the two as nec-
      es sary.  Once warmed, a cold bat tery may 
    re 
    cov er some of its charge.
    •  Continuing to charge the battery after it is ful-
    ly charged can impair battery performance.
    •  Should the bat tery ter mi nals be come dirty, 
    wipe them off  with a clean, dry cloth be fore 
    use.
    •  After removing the battery from the cam era, 
    be sure to replace the ter mi nal cov er.
    •  Used batteries are a valuable resource.  Please 
    recycle used batteries in accord with local 
    regulations.

    able sep a rate ly), dis con nect and re con nect the adapt er and turn the cam era on again.  In 
    the  event  of  con tin ued  mal func tion,  con tact  your  re tail er  or  Nikon  rep re sen ta tive.    Note 
    that dis con nect ing the power source as de scribed above may result in loss of any data not
