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, 
then turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact 
your retailer or Nikon-authorized service 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.

the power-on lamp

Battery temperature is high. Turn off camera and allow 
battery to cool down before resuming use. After the 
lamps blink for three minutes, the camera will turn off 
automatically. Pressing the power switch also turns off 
the camera.

mode, and the camera recognizes human faces, 
remote control operation is not available.
