Notes on the Monitor
• Monitors and 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.
• White or colored streaks may be visible when bright subjects are framed in the monitor. This 
phenomenon, known as “smear,” occurs when extremely bright light strikes the image sensor; it is 
characteristic of image sensors and does not indicate a malfunction. Smear may also take the form 
of partial discoloration in the monitor during shooting. It does not appear in images recorded with 
the camera except in the cases of movies and of images recorded with Multi-shot 16 selected for 
Continuous. When shooting in these modes, we recommend that you avoid bright subjects such 
as the sun, reflected sunlight, and electric lights.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or flicker, contact your 
Nikon-authorized service representative.
