Technical Notes and Index
B The Monitor
• The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a characteristic
common to all TFT LCD displays, and does not indicate a malfunction. Images saved using the
product will not be affected.
• White or colored streaks of light may be visible on the monitor with framing of bright subjects.
This phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor.
This is due to characteristics of the image sensor and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may
also cause partial discoloration on monitor display with shooting. Smear does not affect recorded
images except when shooting with Continuous set to Multi-shot 16 and when recording movies.
When shooting in these modes, avoiding bright objects such as the sun, reflections of the sun, and
electric lights is recommended.
• Images on the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your
Nikon-authorized service representative.
The Battery
• Be sure to read and follow the warnings of “For Your Safety” (Avi to Aviii)
thoroughly before using the battery.
• Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the
battery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged
as this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever possible, carry a
fully charged spare battery when taking pictures on important occasions.
• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C
(104°F).
• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to
95°F) before use.
• When the battery temperature is between 0°C and 10°C (32°F to 50°F) or 45°C to
60°C (113°F to 140°F), the chargeable capacity may decrease.
• The battery is not charged at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above
60°C (140°F).
• Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to cool
before charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage the
battery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally.
• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the
battery is fully charged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather.
Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed,
a cold battery may recover some of its charge.
• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Should
the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before
use.
