A
marked
drop
in
the
time
a fully charged battery retains its charge
when used at room temperature indicates
that
it
requires replacement.
Purchase a new
EN-EL21
battery.
• Charge
the battery before
use.
When taking photographs on impor-
tant
occasions, ready a spare
EN-EL21
battery and keep
it
fully
charged.
Depending on
your
location,
it
may be
difficult
to
purchase
replace-
ment
batteries on short notice. Note
that
on cold
days,
the
capacity
of
batteries tends
to
decrease.
Be
sure the battery
is
fully charged before
taking photographs outside in
cold weather. Keep a spare battery in a
warm
place and exchange the
two
as
necessary.
Once warmed, a
cold
battery may recover some
of
its charge.

Used
batteries are a
valuable resource; recycle
in accord
with
local reg-
ulations.

Image
Sensor
Cleaning
Each
time
it
is
turned on or off,
the
camera performs image sensor
cleaning
to
remove dust from the image sensor (note
that
operating
camera
controls
before
cleaning
is
complete interrupts this process,
and
that
image sensor
cleaning
may be temporarily disabled
if
the
camera
is
turned on and
off
several
times in succession). Dust
not
removed by this method may appear in images recorded
with
the
cam-
era,
in which
case
you
should
have
the
sensor
cleaned
by Nikon-autho-
rized service
personnel.

Servicing
the
Camera
and
Accessories
The camera
is
a precision device and requires
regular
servicing. Nikon
Iii
recommends
that
the camera be inspected by the
original retailer
or
-
1'
Nikon-authorized service representative once every one
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 particu-
larly recommended
if
the camera
is
used professionally.
Any accesso-
ries regularly used
with
the
camera, such
as
lenses
or
optional flash
units,
should
be
included when
the
camera
is
inspected or serviced.
