F10Caring for the ProductsTechnical Notes and IndexB 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 thesedisplays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this isnot a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.• Images on 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 yourNikon-authorized service representative.The Battery• Be sure to read and follow the warnings of “For Your Safety” (Avi to Aviii)thoroughly before using the battery.• Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge thebattery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fully chargedas this will result in reduced battery performance. Whenever possible, carry afully charged spare battery when taking pictures on important occasions.• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C(104°F).• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to95°F) before use.• When the battery temperature is between 0°C and 10°C (32°F to 50°F) or 45°C to60°C (113°F to 140°F), the chargeable capacity may decrease.• The battery is not charged at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above60°C (140°F).• Note that the battery may become hot during use; wait for the battery to coolbefore charging. Failure to observe these precautions could damage thebattery, impair its performance, or prevent it from charging normally.• On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure that thebattery is fully charged before heading outside to take pictures in cold weather.Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed,a cold battery may recover some of its charge.• Dirt on the battery terminals can prevent the camera from functioning. Shouldthe battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth beforeuse.
