Notes on Safety Operations
CAUTION
Do not disassemble
Touching the internal parts of the camera or lens could result in injury. Repairs
should be performed only by qualified technicians. Should the camera or lens
break open as the result of a fall or other accident, take the product to a Nikon-
authorized service representative for inspection after unplugging the product
and/or removing the battery.
Turn off immediately in the event of malfunction
Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the camera or lens,
remove the battery immediately, taking care to avoid burns. Continued operation
could result in injury. After removing or disconnecting the power source, take the
equipment to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection.
Do not use the camera or lens in the presence of flammable gas
If the electronic equipment is operated in the presence of flammable gas, it could
result in an explosion or a fire.
Do not look at the sun through the lens or viewfinder
Viewing the sun or other strong light sources through the lens or viewfinder could
cause permanent visual impairment.
Keep out of reach of children
Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the batteries or
other small parts into their mouths.
Observe the following precautions when handling the camera
and lens
• Keep the camera or lens unit dry. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock.
• Do not handle or touch the unit with wet hands. Failure to do so could result in
electric shock.
• In backlit shooting, keep the sun well out of the frame.
The sunlight could focus into the lens body and cause a fire. When the sun gets
close to the frame, it can also cause a fire.
• When the lens will not be used for a long time, attach both front and rear lens
caps and store the lens away from direct sunlight. Failure to do so could result
in a fire, as the lens might focus sunlight onto an object.
