Caring for the Product The Camera To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Aviii-x) when using or storing the device. B Do Not Drop The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. B Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged.
B Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended Periods Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when using or storing the camera.
