Caring for the Product

Notes About the Monitor

Monitors (including electronic viewfinders) are constructed with extremely high precision; 
at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. 
Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or 
green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded 
with the device.

Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.

Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Should 
the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to 
prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or 
mouth.

The Battery

Precautions for Use

Note that the battery may become hot after use.

Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F) as 
this could cause damage or malfunction.

If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell coming 
from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or Nikon-
authorized service representative.

After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the battery in 
a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.

Charging the Battery

Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if 
necessary. 

Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F) 
before use.

A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or 
completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may become hot 
after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. 
When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the Charging AC Adapter or a 
computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 
45°C (113°F).

Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced 
battery performance. 

The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a 
malfunction.
