A Note on Electronically-Controlled Cameras
In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the control panel
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 turn the camera on again, or, if you are using an AC
adapter (available separately), disconnect and reconnect the adapter and 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 loss of any data not recorded to the memory card
at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded to the memory card
will not be affected.
