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 saved 
to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data 
already saved will not be affected.

Monitor turns off, and the 
power-on lamp blinks rapidly.

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

Camera becomes hot.

The camera may become hot when shooting 
movies for an extended period of time or when 
the camera is used in a hot area; this is not a 
malfunction.
