For Your Safety
Introduction
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, be sure it is
unplugged.
• Only use a Rechargeable Li-ion
Battery EN-EL8 (supplied). Charge
the battery either by inserting it in
the camera and connecting the
AC Adapter EH-64 (supplied), or
by inserting it in a Battery Charger
MH-62 (available separately from
Nikon).
• 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 lightening 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 flame. Should
the insulation be damaged and
the wires become exposed, take it
to a Nikon-authorized service
representative for inspection.
Failure to observe these
precautions could result in fire or
electric shock.

iv
For Your Safety
Introduction
• Do not handle the plug or battery
charger with wet hands. Failure to
observe this precaution could
result in electric shock.
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 CD-
ROMs 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 (39 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

Declaration of Conformity

Introduction
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence
does not show that any health
problems are associated with using
low power wireless devices. There is
no proof, however, that these low
power wireless devices are
absolutely safe. Low power wireless
devices emit low levels of radio
frequency energy (RF) in the
microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of RF can
produce health effects (by heating
tissue), exposure to low-level RF that
does not produce heating effects
causes no known adverse health
effects. Many studies of low-level RF
exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have
suggested that some biological
effects might occur, but such
findings have not been confirmed
by additional research. Wireless LAN
Module (GC-131) has been tested
and found to comply with FCC/IC
radiation exposure limits set forth
for an uncontrolled equipment and
meets the FCC radio frequency (RF)
Exposure Guidelines in Supplement
C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC
radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules.
Please refer to the SAR test report
that was uploaded at FCC website.
This device should not be co-located
or operated in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Notice for customers in the
U.S.A.
FCC RF Interference Statement
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC rules. These
limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will
not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be
determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
• Increase the separation between
the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an
outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/television
technician for help.

Introduction
CAUTIONS

modifications made to this device
that are not expressly approved by
Nikon Corporation may void the
user’s authority to operate the

provided by Nikon for your
equipment. Using other interface
cables may exceed the limits of Class
B Part 15 of the FCC rules.

Information and Precautions
Introduction
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 illegal
copies 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
built-in 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 (c106). Care should be taken to
avoid injury or damage to property when physically destroying data storage devices.
