Technical Notes
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, and then turn the camera on
again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon representative.
Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result in the loss of any
data not recorded to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem occurred.
Data already recorded will not be affected.
