In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear on 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,
then turn the camera on again. Note that disconnecting the power source as
described above may result in the loss of any data not recorded on the internal
memory or memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded
is not affected. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or
Nikon-authorized service representative.

the correct date and time using Time zone and date in the

When functions such as movie recording or sending images
