Caring for the Camera and Battery

To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when using or storing the device:
Keep dry
This product is not waterproof, and may malfunction if immersed in water
or exposed to high levels of humidity. Rusting of the internal mechanism
can cause irreparable damage.
Do not drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.
Handle all moving parts with care
Do not apply force to the lens, to the monitor, or to the battery, card, or
connector covers. These parts are especially susceptible to damage.
Avoid sudden changes in temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as occur when entering or leaving
a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the device.
To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic
bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source
Do not unplug the product or remove the battery while the product is on,
or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power to
the product in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage
to product memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental
interruption of power, avoid carrying the product from one location to
another while the AC adapter is connected.
Keep away from strong magnetic fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates
strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges
or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters
could interfere with the monitor, damage data stored on the memory card,
or affect the product's internal circuitry.
