Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or builtin camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the users responsibility. Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images containing no private information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any pictures selected for the welcome screen (A 76). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices.

Caring for the Camera

To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the following precautions when using or storing the device.

Keep Dry

The device will be damaged if immersed in water or subjected to high humidity.

Do Not Drop

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.
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. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.
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. Intense light may cause deterioration of the CCD image sensor, producing a white blur effect in photographs.
Keep Away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the products internal circuitry.
Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the Power Source
Do not unplug the product or remove the batteries while the product is on, or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption of power, avoid carrying the product from one place to another while an AC adapter is connected.
The Self-timer Lamp/AF-assist Illuminator LED
The light-emitting diode (LED; A 4, 28, 83) used in the self-timer lamp/AF-assist illuminator conforms to the following IEC standard:

Batteries

Check the battery level when taking the camera out, and replace the batteries if necessary (A 18). If possible, carry spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions. Battery capacity tends to decrease on cold days. Be sure that the batteries are fresh 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. Used batteries are a valuable resource. Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
