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, taking care to avoid burns, and 
turn the camera on again, or, if you are using an AC adapter (available separately), disconnect 
and reconnect the adapter and turn the camera on again. If the problem persists after 
removing the battery from the camera, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service 
representative.
