If the camera fails to function as expected, check this list of com-
mon problems before consulting your retailer or Nikon repre-
sentative.

Battery/Display

The camera is on but does not respond:
• Controls are locked (0 195).
• The camera is busy. Wait for recording or any other processing to end.
If the problem persists, turn the camera off. If the camera still does not
respond, remove and replace the battery or disconnect and reconnect
the AC adapter, but note that this will delete any data not yet saved.
Data already saved to the memory card are unaffected.
The display is off:
• The camera is off (0 22) or the battery is exhausted (0 14, 27).
• The display has turned off automatically to save power (0 195). The

camera to cool before turning it on again.
