Caring for the Camera
Stor~
When the camera will not be used for an extended period, return the monitor to the
storage position, remove the battery, and store the battery in a cool, dry area with the
terminal cover in place. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-
ventilated area. Do not store your camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in
locations
that:
• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
• are
next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as
televisions or radios
• are exposed
to temperatures above 50°C (122 OF) or below -10°C (14 OF)
Cleaning
Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After
using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off sand or salt with a cloth lightly
dampened in distilled water and dry thoroughly. Important: Dust or other foreign
matter inside the camera may cause damage not covered under warranty.
These glass elements are easily
damaged. Remove dust and lint with a blower. If
using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent the discharge of liquid. To
remove fingerprints and other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft
cloth and clean with care.
Remove
dust and lint with a blower. When removing fingerprints and other stains,
wipe the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure,
as this could result in damage or malfunction.
Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.
~ Servicing the Camera and Accessories
The camera is a precision device and requires regular servicing. Nikon recommends that the
camera be inspected by the original retailer or Nikon service representative once everyone
to two years, and that it be serviced once every three to five years (note that fees apply to
these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particularly recommended if the
camera is used professionally. Any accessories regularly used with the camera, such as
lenses or optional Speedlights, should be included when the camera is inspected or
serviced.
