[] A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the control
panel 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 replace the battery, and turn the camera on again,
or, if you are using an AC adapter (available separately), disconnect and
reconnect the adapter and 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 loss of any data not recorded to the memory card at
the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the card will not
be affected.
