Servicing the Camera and Accessories
The camera is a precision device and requires regular servicing. Nikon
recommends that the camera be inspected by the original retailer or a
Nikon-authorized service representative once every one to two years,
and that it be serviced once every three to five years (note that fees
apply to these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particu-
larly recommended if the camera is used professionally. Any accesso-
ries regularly used with the camera, such as lenses, should be included
when the camera is inspected or serviced.
A
Before Taking Important Pictures
Before taking pictures on important occasions (such as at weddings or
before taking the camera on a trip), take a test shot to ensure that the
camera is functioning normally. Nikon will not be held liable for dam-
ages or lost profits that may result from product malfunction.
