A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, a strong external static charge
may cause the camera to stop functioning. Turn the
camera off, remove and replace the battery (note that the
battery may be hot) or disconnect and reconnect the AC
adapter, and turn the camera on again. If the problem
persists, turn the camera off and press the reset switch (see
right; note that this resets the clock). Note that any data
not recorded to the memory card at the time the problem
occurred may be deleted. In the event of continued
malfunction, contact your retailer or a Nikon-authorized service representative.
Adjust viewfinder focus or use optional diopter adjustment
lenses.
Choose a longer auto off delay in the auto off timers option in
the Custom Settings menu.
