152Technical NotesCaring for Your CameraTo ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following pre-cautions when storing or using the device:Keep dryThe device will be damaged if immersed inwater or subjected to high levels of mois-ture.Handle the lens and all mov-ing parts with careDo not apply force to the lens, monitor, or tothe connector, card slot, or battery chambercovers. These parts are especially susceptibleto damage.Do not point the lens atstrong light sources for ex-tended periodsAvoid pointing the lens at the sun or otherstrong light sources for extended periodswhen using or storing the camera.Intense light may cause deterioration in theCCD image sensor, producing a white blureffect in photographs.Turn the product off beforeremoving or disconnectingthe power sourceDo not unplug the product or remove thebatteries while the product is on, or whileimages are being recorded or deleted. Forc-ibly cutting power in these circumstancescould result in loss of data or in damage toproduct memory or internal circuitry. To pre-vent an accidental interruption of power,avoid carrying the product from one place toanother while the AC adapter (available sep-arately) is connected.Do not dropThe product may malfunction if subjected tostrong shocks or vibration.Keep away from strong mag-netic fieldsDo not use or store this device in the vicinityof equipment that generates strong electro-magnetic radiation or magnetic fields.Strong static charges or the magnetic fieldsproduced by equipment such as radio trans-mitters could interfere with the monitor,damage data stored on the memory card, oraffect the product’s internal circuitry.Avoid sudden changes in tem-peratureSudden changes in temperature, such as oc-cur when entering or leaving a heated build-ing on a cold day, can cause condensationinside the device.To prevent condensation, place the device ina carrying case or a plastic bag before expos-ing it to sudden changes in temperature.AF-Assist IlluminatorThe light-emitting diode (LED) used in theAF-assist illuminator (c125) conforms tothe following IEC standard:en_q3175.book Page 152 Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:54 AM
153Technical NotesCleaningLensOne key to cleaning the lens is to not touch it with your fingers. Remove dust orlint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one endthat you pump to produce a stream of air out the other). To remove fingerprintsor other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a softcloth, using a spiral motion that starts in the center of the lens and works out tothe edges.MonitorRemove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains, cleanthe monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.BodyUse a blower to remove dust, dirt or sand then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt with adry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water, then dry thoroughly. The camera may be damaged if foreign matter gets inside the camera body. Nikoncannot accept liability for damage caused by dirt or sand.Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.Avoid contact with liquid crystalShould the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury due to broken glass and toprevent the liquid crystal from the monitor touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.Notes on the Monitor•The monitor may contain a few pixels that are always lit or that do not light. This is a char-acteristic common to all TFT LCD monitors, and does not indicate a malfunction. Imagesrecorded using the product will not be affected.•When you frame bright subjects, vertical comet-like streaks that whiten toward either endmay appear in the monitor. This phenomenon, known as “smear,” does not appear in thefinal photograph and does not indicate a malfunction. Some smear may appear in movies.•Images in the monitor may be difficult to see in a bright light.•The monitor is lit by an LED backlit. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contactyour Nikon service representative.en_q3175.book Page 153 Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:54 AM
154Technical NotesStorageTurn the camera off when not in use and check that the power-on lamp is off be-fore putting the camera away. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in adry, well-ventilated area. If you will not be using the product for long periods, re-move the battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag con-taining a desiccant. Do not store the camera case (available separately) in a plasticbag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant graduallyloses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals.Do not store your camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in locationsthat:•are poorly ventilated or damp•are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as tele-visions or radios•are exposed to temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above 50°C (122°F; forexample near a space heater or in a closed vehicle on a sunny day)•are subject to humidities of over 60%To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month.Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting the cameraaway again.When the battery is not in use, replace the terminal cover and store the battery ina cool, dry place. The battery should be recharged at least once a year; run thebattery flat before returning it to storage.Batteries•Check the battery level when taking the camera out and charge the battery if necessary(c8). Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged, as this will result in re-duced battery performance. If possible, carry a spare EN-EL8 battery when taking pictureson important occasions.•On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that the battery is fullycharged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather. Keep spare batteries ina warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover someof its charge.•Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning.•Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with lo-cal regulations.en_q3175.book Page 154 Thursday, June 16, 2005 10:54 AM
