or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft
cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working
toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth lightly dampened

Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the camera
away again.

Notes on the Monitor
• The monitor may contairl a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic
common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images recorded using the
product will not be affected.
• When framing bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks tnat whiten toward either end may
appear in the display. This phenomenon, known as "smear," does not appear in the final
photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. In shooting r odes ot er than multi-shot 16
continuous or movie, smear has no effect on the images that are recorded.
When using multi-shot 16 continuous shootin,;) and movie modes, however, we recommend that
you avoid shooting bright objects.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• The
monitor is lit by an
LEO
backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
Nikon-authorized service representative.
