Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white,red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effecton images recorded with the device.• Due to the general characteristics of OLED monitors, prolonged or repeateddisplay of the same screen or image may result in screen burn. Screen burn can berecognized by decreased brightness in portions of the monitor or mottled display.In some cases, screen burn may become permanent. However, images are in noway affected by screen burn.To prevent screen burn, do not set monitor brightness higher than necessary anddo not display the same screen or image for an extended period of time.• Images in 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 your Nikon-authorized service representative.The BatteryBe sure to read and follow the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Avii-ix) beforeuse.• Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge thebattery if necessary. Do not continue charging once the battery is fullycharged as this will result in reduced battery performance. Wheneverpossible, carry a fully charged spare battery when taking images onimportant occasions.• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below −10°C (14°F) orabove 40°C (104°F).• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C(41°F to 95°F) before use.
