291 n •Charge the battery before use. When taking photographs on important occasions, ready a spare EN-EL15 battery and keep it fully charged. Depending on your location, it may be difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice. Note that on cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure the battery is fully charged before taking photographs outside in cold weather. Keep a spare battery in a warm place and exchange the two as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge. • Used batteries are a valuable resource; recycle in accord with local regulations.

When matrix metering is used, values over 161/3EV are reduced to 161/3EV. f/1.4 f/1 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22f/32 -4 -5 -3 1213 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 78 9 10 11 30 15 8 4 2 1248 153060125 250 50010002000 40008000 2221 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 [ EV ] 23 161/3 f/1.4 f/16 ISO 100; lens with maximum aperture of f/1.4 and minimum aperture of f/16 (e.g., AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4G) Shutter speed (seconds) Aperture
299 n Troubleshooting If the camera fails to function as expected, check the list of common problems below before consulting your retail er or Nikon representative. Display Viewfinder is out of focus: Adjust viewfinder focu s or use optional eyepiece correction lenses ( 0 34, 281). Viewfinder is dark : Insert a fully-charged battery ( 021, 35). Displays turn off without warning : Choose longer delays for Custom Setting c2 ( Auto meter-off delay ) or c4 ( Monitor off delay ) (0 214, 215). Camera does not respond to controls : See “A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras,” below. Control panel and viewfinder disp lays are unresponsive and dim: The response times and brightness of these displays vary with temperature. Fine lines are visible around active focus point or display turns red when focus point is highlighted: These phenomena are normal for this type of viewfinder and do not indicate a malfunction. AA Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the control panel and the camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and replace the battery, taking care to avoid burns, and turn the camera on again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (available separately), disconnect and reconnect the adapter and turn the camera on again. If the problem persists, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative.
