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, 
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.
