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.
