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 batteries, 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. In the event of continued malfunction, contact
your retailer or Nikon representative. Note that disconnecting the power
source as described above may result in the loss of any data not recorded to
the memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded
to the memory card will not be affected.
