Viewing the sun or other strong light
source through the viewfinder could
cause permanent visual impairment.
A
Using the viewfinder diopter adjustment control
When operating the viewfinder diopter
adjustment control with your eye to the
viewfinder, care should be taken not to
put your finger in your eye accidentally.
A
Turn off immediately in the event of malfunction
Should you notice smoke or an unusual
smell coming from the equipment or AC
adapter (available separately), unplug the
AC adapter and remove the battery
immediately, taking care to avoid burns.
Continued operation could result in injury.
After removing the battery, take the

take the product to a Nikon-authorized
service center for inspection.
A
Do not place the strap around the neck of an infant

Placing the camera strap around the neck
of an infant or child could result in
strangulation.
A
Observe caution when using the flash

A
Observe proper precautions when handling
