• Batteries are prone to leakage when 
fully discharged.  To avoid damage to 
the product, be sure to remove the bat-
teries when no charge remains.
• Discontinue use immediately should you 
notice any change in the batteries, such 
as discoloration or deformation.
• If liquid from damaged batteries comes 
in contact with clothing or skin, rinse 
immediately with plenty of water.
 
  Observe the following precaution when 
handling the battery charger
If an MH-71 battery charger is provided 
with the camera, observe the following 
precautions:
• Keep dry.  Failure to observe this precau-
tion could result in fi re or electric shock.
• Dust on or near the metal parts of the 
plug should be removed with a dry 
cloth.  Continued use could result in 
fi re.
• Do not handle the power cable or go 
near the battery charger during thun-
derstorms.  Failure to observe this pre-
caution could result in electric shock.
• Do not damage, modify, forcibly tug or 
bend the power cable, place it under 
heavy objects, or expose it to heat or 
fl ame.  Should the insulation be dam-
aged and the wires become exposed, 
take it to a Nikon-authorized service 
representative for inspection.  Failure to 
observe these precautions could result in 
fi re or electric shock.
• Do not handle the plug or battery char-
ger with wet hands.  Failure to observe 
this precaution could result in electric 
shock.
 
  Use appropriate cables
When connecting cables to the input 
and output jacks, use only the cables 
provided or sold by Nikon for the pur-
pose, to maintain compliance with 
product regulations.
 
  Handle moving parts with care
Be careful that your fi ngers or other ob-
jects are not pinched between the lens 
section and camera body or by other 
moving parts.
 
  CD-ROMs
The CD-ROMs supplied with this device 
should not be played back on audio CD 
equipment.  Playing CD-ROMs on an 
audio CD player could cause hearing 
loss or damage the equipment.
 
  Observe caution when operating the 
 fl ash
Using the fl ash close to your subject’s 
eyes could cause temporary visual 
impairment.  Particular care should 
be observed if photographing infants, 
when the fl ash should be no less than 
one meter (39 in.) from the subject.
 
  Do not fi re the fl ash while it is touching 
a person or object
Such use can result in the person being 
burned, and 
or their clothes igniting 
from the heat of the fl ash.
 
  Avoid contact with liquid crystal
Should the  monitor break, care should 
be taken to avoid injury due to broken 
glass and to prevent liquid crystal from 
the monitor touching the skin or enter-
ing the eyes or mouth.
