Technical Notes

Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your

Safety” (Avi-ix) when using or storing the device.

The Camera

Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition, do not

touch or apply force to the lens or lens cover.

Keep Dry

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

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.

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. Doing so could result in loss of data or camera

malfunction.

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 the image sensor to deteriorate or

produce a white blur effect in photographs.

Turn the Product Off Before Removing or Disconnecting the

Power Source or Memory Card

Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being saved or

deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in

damage to the memory card or internal circuitry.

Caring for the Product

Technical Notes

Notes About the Monitor

• Monitors (including electronic viewfinders) are constructed with extremely high precision;

at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective.

Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or

green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded

with the device.

• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.

• Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. 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.

The Battery

Precautions for Use

• Note that the battery may become hot after use.

• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F) as

this could cause damage or malfunction.

• If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell coming

from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or Nikon-

authorized service representative.

• After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the battery in

a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.

Charging the Battery

Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if

necessary.

• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F)

before use.

• A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or

completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may become hot

after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging.

When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the Charging AC Adapter or a

computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above

50°C (122°F).

• Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced

battery performance.

• The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a

malfunction.

Carrying Spare Batteries

Whenever possible, carry fully charged spare batteries when taking pictures on important

occasions.

Using the Battery When Cold

On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is used at a low

temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as

necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

Technical Notes

Battery Terminals

Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery

terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.

Charging an Exhausted Battery

Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera may result

in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.

Storing the Battery

• Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not

being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in the

camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and complete

loss of function.

• Charging a used battery within six months is recommended. When storing the battery for

long periods, recharge it at least once every six months and use the camera until the

battery level indicator is B before returning it to storage.

• Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place. The

battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature of 15°C to 25°C (59°F

to 77°F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.

Battery Life

A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge, when used at room

temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new battery.

Recycling Used Batteries

Recycle rechargeable batteries in accord with local regulations, being sure to first insulate

the terminals with tape.

The Charging AC Adapter

• The EH-73P Charging AC Adapter is for use only with compatible devices. Do not use with

another make or model of device.

• Do not use any USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the UC-E21

could result in overheating, fire or electric shock.

• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than

the EH-73P Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially available USB-AC

adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution could

result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

• The EH-73P is compatible with AC 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When using in

other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as necessary. For more

information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency.

• The symbols on this product represent the following:

D AC, E DC, F Class II equipment (The construction of the product is double-insulated.)

Technical Notes

Cleaning

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Storage

Remove the battery if the camera will not be used for an extended period. 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 camera

away again. Do not store the camera in any of the following locations:

• Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%

• Exposed to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below –10°C (14°F)

• Next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions

or radios

For storing the battery, follow the precautions in “The Battery” (A24) in “Caring for

the Product” (A23).

Cleaning and Storage

Lens/

viewfinder

Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a

blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that

is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove

fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the

lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the

lens and working toward the edges. If this fails, clean the lens using a cloth

lightly dampened with commercial lens cleaner.

Monitor

Remove dust or lint with a blower. To remove fingerprints and other stains,

clean the monitor with a soft, dry cloth, being careful not to apply pressure.

Body

Use a blower to remove dust, dirt, or sand, then wipe gently with a soft, dry

cloth. After using the camera at the beach or other sandy or dusty

environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly

dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly. Note that foreign matter

inside the camera could cause damage not covered by the warranty.
