• Do not disassemble. Touching the internal parts of the camera or lens 

could result in injury. In the event of malfunction, the product should 

be repaired only by a qualified technician. Should the product break 

open as the result of a fall or other accident, remove the camera battery 

and/or disconnect the AC adapter and then take the product to a 

Nikon-authorized service center for inspection.

• Turn the camera off immediately in the event of malfunction. Should you 

notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the equipment, 

immediately unplug the AC adapter and remove the camera battery, 

taking care to avoid burns. Continued operation could result in fire or 

injury. After removing the battery, take the equipment to a Nikon-

authorized service center for inspection.

• Do not use in the presence of flammable gas. Operating electronic 

equipment in the presence of flammable gas could result in explosion 

or fire.

• Do not look at the sun through the lens or the camera viewfinder. Viewing the 

sun or other bright light source through the lens or viewfinder could 

cause permanent visual impairment.

• Keep out of reach of children. Failure to observe this precaution could 

result in injury.

• Observe the following precautions when handling the lens and camera:

- Keep  the  lens  and  camera  dry. Failure to observe this precaution 

could result in fire or electric shock.

- Do not handle the lens or camera with wet hands. Failure to observe 

this precaution could result in electric shock.

- Keep the sun well out of the frame when shooting backlit subjects. 

Sunlight focused into the camera when the sun is in or close to the 

frame could cause a fire.

- If the lens will not be used for an extended period, attach the front 

and rear lens caps and store the lens out of direct sunlight. If left in 

direct sunlight, the lens could focus the sun’s rays onto flammable 

objects, causing fire.

• Do not carry tripods with a lens or camera attached. You could trip or 

accidentally strike others, resulting in injury.

• Do not leave the lens where it will be exposed to extremely high temperatures, 

. Failure to observe this 

precaution could adversely affect the lens’ internal parts, causing fire.
