WARNINGS

Turn off in the event of
malfunction

Should you notice smoke or an
unusual smell coming from the
camera or AC adapter, unplug the AC
adapter and remove the battery
immediately, taking care to avoid
burns. Continued operation could
result in injury. After removing or
disconnecting the power source, take
the equipment to a Nikon-authorized
service representative for inspection.

Do not disassemble

Touching the internal parts of the
camera or AC adapter could result in
injury. Repairs should be performed
only by qualified technicians. Should
the camera or AC adapter break open
as the result of a fall or other accident,
take the product to a Nikon-authorized
service representative for inspection,
after unplugging the product and/or
removing the battery.

ii

Do not use the camera or AC
adapter in the presence of
flammable gas

Do not use electronic equipment in
the presence of flammable gas, as this
could result in explosion or fire.

Handle the camera strap with
care

Never place the strap around the neck
of an infant or child.

Keep out of reach of children

Particular care should be taken to
prevent infants from putting the
battery or other small parts into their
mouths.

For Your Safety

Observe caution when
handling the battery

The battery may leak or explode if
improperly handled. Observe the
following precautions when handling
the battery for use in this product:

• Before replacing the battery, turn
the product off. If you are using the
AC adapter (available separately), be
sure to unplug the AC adapter from
an electrical power outlet.

• Use only a Rechargeable Li-ion
Battery EN-EL12 (supplied). Charge
the battery by inserting it in a
Battery Charger MH-65 (supplied).

• When inserting the battery, do not
attempt to insert it upside down or
backwards.

• Do not short or disassemble the
battery or attempt to remove or
break the battery insulation or
casing.

• Do not expose the battery to flame
or to excessive heat.

• Do not immerse in or expose to
water.

• Replace the terminal cover when
transporting the battery. Do not
transport or store with metal objects
such as necklaces or hairpins.

• The battery is prone to leakage
when fully discharged. To avoid
damage to the product, be sure to
remove the battery when no charge
remains.

• Discontinue use immediately should
you notice any change in the
battery, such as discoloration or
deformation.

• If liquid from the damaged battery
comes in contact with clothing or
skin, rinse immediately with plenty
of water.

Observe the following
precautions when handling
the battery charger

• Keep dry. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in fire 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 fire.

• Do not handle the power cable or
go near the battery charger during
lightning storms. Failure to observe
this precaution 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 flames. Should the insulation
be damaged and the wires become
exposed, take it to a Nikon­authorized service representative for
inspection. Failure to observe these
precautions could result in fire or
electric shock.

• Do not handle the plug or battery
charger with wet hands. Failure to
observe this precaution could result
in electric shock.

• Do not use with travel converters or
adapters designed to convert from
one voltage to another or with DC­to-AC inverters. Failure to observe
this precaution could damage the
product or cause overheating or fire.

iii

For Your Safety

Use appropriate cables

When connecting cables to the input
and output jacks, use only the cables
provided or sold by Nikon for the
purpose, to maintain compliance with
product regulations.

Handle moving parts with
care

Be careful that your fingers or other
objects are not pinched by the lens
cover or other moving parts.

CD-ROMs

The CD-ROMs supplied with this
device should not be played back on
audio CD equipment. Playing CD­ROMs on an audio CD player could
cause hearing loss or damage the
equipment.

Observe caution when using
the flash

Using the flash close to your subject’s
eyes could cause temporary visual
impairment. Particular care should be
observed if photographing infants,
when the flash should be no less than
one meter (3 ft. 4 in.) from the subject.

Do not operate the flash with
the flash window touching a
person or object

Failure to observe this precaution
could result in burns or fire.

Avoid contact with liquid
crystal

Should the monitor break, care should
be taken to avoid injury caused by
broken glass and to prevent liquid
crystal from the monitor touching the
skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

Turn the power off when
using inside an airplane or the
hospital

Turn the power off while inside the
airplane during take off or landing.
Follow the instructions of the hospital
when using while in a hospital. The
electromagnetic waves given out by
this camera may disrupt the electronic
systems of the airplane or the
instruments of the hospital.

Observe caution when using
the projector or movie light

• Do not look directly into the
projector window or project images
or shine the movie light in or near
human eyes. This could damage the
eyes or result in visual impairment.

• Do not project images or shine the

Information and Precautions

Notice Concerning Prohibition of Copying or Reproduction

Note that simply being in possession of material that was digitally copied or reproduced by means
of a scanner, digital camera or other device may be punishable by law.

• Items prohibited by law from being copied or reproduced

Do not copy or reproduce paper money, coins, securities, government bonds or local government
bonds, even if such copies or reproductions are stamped “Sample.” The copying or reproduction
of paper money, coins, or securities which are circulated in a foreign country is prohibited. Unless
the prior permission of the government was obtained, the copying or reproduction of unused
postage stamps or post cards issued by the government is prohibited. The copying or
reproduction of stamps issued by the government and of certified documents stipulated by law is
prohibited.

• Cautions on certain copies and reproductions

The government has issued cautions on copies or reproductions of securities issued by private
companies (shares, bills, checks, gift certificates, etc.), commuter passes or coupon tickets, except
when a minimum of necessary copies are to be provided for business use by a company. Also, do
not copy or reproduce passports issued by the government, licenses issued by public agencies
and private groups, ID cards and tickets, such as passes and meal coupons.

• Comply with copyright notices

The copying or reproduction of copyrighted creative works such as books, music, paintings,
woodcut prints, maps, drawings, movies and photographs is governed by national and
international copyright laws. Do not use this product for the purpose of making i llegal cop ies or to
infringe copyright laws.

Disposing of Data Storage Devices

Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as memory cards or built­in camera memory does not completely erase the original image data. Deleted files can sometimes
be recovered from discarded storage devices using commercially available software, potentially
resulting in the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is the user’s
responsibility.

Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another person, erase all data
using commercial deletion software, or format the device and then completely refill it with images
containing no private information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any
pictures selected for the welcome screen (A 144). Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage
to property when physically destroying data storage devices.
