Troubleshooting
Problem
Camera becomes hot.
Electronically Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the
camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a
strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and reinsert the battery,
then turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact
your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative. Note that disconnecting
the power source as described above may result in the loss of any data not
recorded to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem
occurred. Data already recorded will not be affected.
Shooting
Problem
No picture taken.
Camera cannot focus.
Images are blurred.
F8
Cause/Solution
The camera may become hot when used for an
extended period of time to shoot movies or send
images using an Eye-Fi card, or when used in a hot
environment; this is not a malfunction.
Cause/Solution
• When camera is in playback mode, or setting
items or the setup menu are displayed, press the
shutter-release button.
• Battery is exhausted.
• When flash lamp flashes, flash is charging.
• The subject is too close to the camera. Try
shooting using macro mode, or Scene auto
selector or Close-up scene mode.
• The intended subject is one with which
autofocus does not perform well.
• Set AF assist in the setup menu to Auto.
• Turn camera off and then on again.
• Use flash.
• Increase the ISO sensitivity value.
• Enable electronic vibration reduction or motion
detection.
• Use BSS (Best Shot Selector).
• Use a tripod to stabilize the camera when
shooting (using the self-timer at the same time is
more effective).
