Troubleshooting
Problem
Date not imprinted on
pictures even when
Date imprint is enabled.
Camera settings reset.
Monitor turns off, and
the power-on lamp
blinks rapidly.
Battery inserted into the
camera is not charged
when the camera is
connected to a
computer.
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.
Shooting
Problem
No picture taken when the
shutter-release button is
pressed.

support Date imprint.

A button, the shutter-release button, or the

button.
