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 saved
to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data
already saved will not be affected.
Shooting

power-on lamp blinks rapidly.
Battery temperature is high. Turn off camera and
allow battery to cool down before resuming use.
After the lamp blinks for three minutes, the
camera will turn off automatically. Pressing the
power switch also turns off the camera.

Camera becomes hot.
The camera may become hot when shooting
