A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, the display may not respond as expected
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 sepa-
rately), disconnect and reconnect the adapter and turn the camera on
again. If the problem persists after the battery has been removed and
replaced, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representa-
tive.
