B
Servicing
the
Camera
and
Accessories
The camera
is
a precision device and requires regular servicing. Nikon
recommends
that
the
camera be inspected by
the
original retailer
or
a
Nikon-authorized service representative once every one
to
two
years,
and
that
it
be serviced once every three
to
five years (note
that
fees
apply
to
these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particu-
larly recommended
if
the
camera
is
used professionally. Any accesso-
ries regularly used
with
the
camera, such
as
lenses, should be included
when
the
camera
is
inspected
or
serviced.
B
Before
Taking
Important
Pictures
Before taking pictures on
important
occasions (such
as
at weddings or
before taking
the
camera on a trip), take a test shot
to
ensure
that
the
camera
is
functioning
normally. Nikon will
not
be held liable
for
dam-
ages
or
lost profits
that
may result from
product
malfunction.
