precautions when handling batteries for use in this product:

• Be sure the product is off before replacing the battery. If you are using an AC

adapter, be sure it is unplugged.

• Use only the supplied Nikon EN-EL1lithium-ion battery or a 6V 2CR5 (DL245)

lithium battery (available separately).

• When inserting the battery, do not attempt to inser t it upside down or back-

wards.

• Do not short or disassemble the battery.

• Do not expose the battery to flame or to excessive heat.

• Do not immerse in or expose to water.

• Do not transport or store with metal objects such as necklaces or hairpins.

• Batteries are prone to leakage when fully discharged. To avoid damage to the

product, be sure to remove the battery when no charge remains.

• When the battery is not in use, attach the terminal cover and store in a cool

place.

• Immediately after use, or when the product is used on battery power for an

extended period, the battery may become hot. Before removing the battery,

turn the camera off and allow the battery to cool.

• When used with a 2CR5 (DL245) lithium battery, the camera grip may be-

come noticeably warm, but this does not indicate a malfunction.

• Discontinue use immediately should you notice any changes in the battery,

such as discoloration or deformation.

Use appropriate cables

When connecting cables to the input and output jacks, use only the cables

provided or sold by Nikon for the purpose, to maintain compliance with prod-

uct regulations.

Keep out of reach of children

Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the battery or

other small parts into their mouths.

Removing memory cards

Memory cards may become hot during use. Observe due caution when re-

moving memory cards from the camera.

CD-ROMs

The CD-ROMs on which the software and manuals are distributed should not

be played back on audio CD equipment. Playing CD-ROMs on an audio CD

player could cause hearing loss or damage the equipment.

Observe caution when operating the flash

Using the flash close to your subject’s eyes could cause temporary visual impair-

ment. Paticular care should be observed if photographing infants, when the

flash should be no less than one meter (39˝) from the subject.

When using the viewfinder

When operating the mode dial with your eye to the viewfinder,care should be

taken not to put your finger in your eye accidentally.

Avoid contact with liquid crystal

Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken

glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or enter-

ing the eyes or mouth.

CAUTIONS

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.

Keep free of salt, sand, and dust

After using your camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt with

a lightly dampened cloth and then dry your camera thoroughly.

Do not touch the lens with your fingers

The proper procedure for cleaning the lens is described in “Technical Notes:

Caring forYour Camera.”

Do not apply force to the lens cover

The lens cover may break if excessive force is applied.

Handle the lens and all moving parts with care

Do not apply force to the lens or to the battery, card, connector, or lens covers.

These parts are especially susceptible to damage.

Turn the product off before removing the battery or unplugging

the AC adapter

Do not unplug the product or remove the battery while the product is on,or

while images are being recorded or deleted from memory. Forcibly cutting

power to the product in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in

damage to the internal circuitry or memory. To prevent an accidental interrup-

tion of power, avoid carrying the product from one location to another while

the AC adapter is connected.

Do not drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.

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 inter-

fere with the monitor, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the

product’s internal circuitry.

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 expos-

ing it to sudden changes in temperature.

Notes on the Monitor

• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light.

This is a characteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors and does not indi-

cate a malfunction. Images recorded with the product will not be affected.

• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.

• The monitor is lit by a fluorescent backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim

or flicker, contact your Nikon service representative.

• Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunc-

tion. Dust or lint adhering to the monitor can be removed with a blower

brush. Stains can be removed by rubbing the surface lightly with a soft cloth

or chamois leather.

• Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken

glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or

entering the eyes or mouth.

Batteries

• When you turn the device on,check the battery-level displayed in the moni-

tor to determine whether the battery needs to be replaced. The battery

needs to be replaced a icon appears in the monitor.

• Ready a spare battery and keep it fully charged when taking pictures on im-

portant occasions. Depending on your location, you may find it difficult to

purchase replacement batteries on short notice.

vii

• On cold days,the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure the battery

is fully charged before taking pictures outside in cold weather. Keep a spare

battery in a warm place and exchange the two as necessary. Once warmed, a

cold batter y may recover some of its charge.

• Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry

cloth before use.

Memory cards

• Turn the power off before inserting or removing memory cards. Inserting or

removing cards with the power on could render them unusable.

• Insert memory cards as shown in the illustration at right.

Inserting cards upside down or backwards could damage

the camera or the card.

Storage

• To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dr y, well-ventilated area. If

you will not be using the product for a long period of time,remove the bat-

tery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag containing a

desiccant. Do not,however, store the camera case in a plastic bag, as this may

cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradually loses its

capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals.

• Do not store the camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls, close to equip-

ment that produces strong magnetic fields, or in areas subject to extremes of

temperature, for example near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a hot

day.

• To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a

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

the camera away again.

•Store the batter y in a cool, dry place.
