Troubleshooting
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.
