A Note on 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, taking
care to avoid burns, and turn the camera on again, or, if
you are using an AC adapter (available
separately),
disconnect
and reconnect
the adapter and turn the
_
emorycard
slot cover
- Reset button
camera on again. If the problem
persists, turn the camera off, open the memory
card slot
cover and, using a paper clip, press the reset button
by the memory
card slot (this also resets
the camera clock).
Note that disconnecting
the power source or pressing the reset button
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.
In the event of continued
malfunction,
contact
your retailer or Nikon-authorized
service representative.
