Notes on operating temperature and humidity and
condensation
Tile operation of this carnera has been tested at ternperatures frorn -10°Q to +40°Q
(14°F to 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 monitor 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.
• Operating environmental conditions such as
temperature and humidity may cause fogging
(condensation) on the inside of the monitor or lens.
This is not the camera malfunction or defect.
• Environmental conditions that are likely to cause
condensation inside of the camera
Fogging (condensation) may occur on tile inside of the rnonitor or lens in tile
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.
• The camera is brought to a warm place such as inside a building from the cold climate
outside.
• The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed in a high-humidity
environment.
• Clearing the fogging
• Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover after turning offthe 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.
