Troubleshooting
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 replace 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.
