B A
Note
on
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,
taking
care
to
avoid burns, and
turn
the
camera
on
again,
or,
if
you are using an
AC
adapter
(available separately), I
t~
disconnect and reconnect
the
adapter and turn
the
lL
camera
on
again. If
the
problem
persists,
turn
the
camera off,
open
the
memory
card slot
cover and, using a
paper
clip, press
the
reset
button
by
the
memory
card slot (this also resets
the
camera clock).
Note
that
disconnecting
the
power
source
or
pressing
the
reset
button
may
result in loss
of
any data
not
recorded
to
the
memory
card at
the
time
the
problem
occurred. Data already recorded
to
the
card
will
not
be affected. In
the
event
of
continued
malfunction,
contact
your
retailer
or
Nikon-authorized
service representative.
