Notes About Operating Temperature and Humidity
and Condensation
The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures –10°C – +40°C (14°F–
104°F).
When you use the camera in cold climate regions, observe the following precautions.
Keep the camera and spare batteries in a warm place before use.
The performance of the batteries (number of pictures shot and shooting time) will
drop temporarily.
If the camera is in a very cold state, the performance may drop temporarily, for
example, the screen may be darker than normal immediately after the camera is
turned on or residual images may be produced.
When snow or water droplets adhere to the exterior of the camera, immediately
wipe them off.
- If the buttons or switches are frozen, they may not operate smoothly.
- If the microphone or speaker openings are clogged with water droplets, the
sound may deteriorate or become distorted.
b Operating environmental conditions such as
temperature and humidity may cause fogging
(condensation) on the inside of the monitor, lens, or
flash window.
This is not a camera malfunction or defect.
b Environmental conditions that are likely to cause
condensation inside of the camera
Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor, lens, or flash window
in the following environmental conditions where there are sharp temperature
changes or high humidity.
The camera is suddenly immersed in low temperature underwater from high
temperature on land such as the beach or places under direct sunlight.
The camera is moved from a cold place to a warm place, such as inside a building.
The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is open or closed in a high-humidity
environment.
b Clearing the fogging
Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover after turning off the camera in
a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid any place that has high
temperature/high humidity, sand or dust).
To clear the fogging, remove the battery and memory card, and leave the camera
with the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the camera to
adjust to the ambient temperature.
If the fogging does not clear, consult your retailer or Nikon-authorized service
representative.
