Notes on Safety Operations
CAUTION
Do not disassemble
Touching the internal parts of the camera or lens could result in injury.
Repairs should be performed only by qualified technicians. Should the
camera or lens break open as the result of a fall or other accident, take the
product to a Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection after
unplugging the product and/or removing the battery.
Turn off immediately in the event of malfunction
Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from the camera or
lens, remove the battery immediately, taking care to avoid burns. Continued
operation could result in injury.
After removing or disconnecting the power source, take the product to a
Nikon-authorized service representative for inspection.
Do not use the camera or lens in the presence of flammable gas
Operating electronic equipment in the presence of flammable gas could
result in an explosion or fire.
Do not look at the sun through the lens or viewfinder
Viewing the sun or other strong light sources through the lens or viewfinder
could cause permanent visual impairment.
Keep out of reach of children
Particular care should be taken to prevent infants from putting the batteries
or other small parts into their mouths.
Observe the following precautions when handling the
camera and lens
• Keep the camera and lens unit dry. Failure to do so could result in fire or
electric shock.
• Do not handle or touch the camera or lens unit with wet hands. Failure to
do so could result in electric shock.
• When shooting with back-lighting, do not point the lens at the sun or
allow sunlight to pass directly down the lens as this may cause the camera
to overheat and possibly cause a fire.
• When the lens will not be used for an extended period of time, attach
both front and rear lens caps and store the lens away from direct sunlight.
Failure to do so could result in a fire, as the lens may focus sunlight onto a
flammable object.
• When shifting and/or tilting, handle the lens with care. Failure to do so, may
result in your fingers being nipped between the lens and the camera body.
