Troubleshooting Problem Cause/Solution A The camera becomes hot. The camera may become hot when used for an extended period of time to shoot movies or send images using an Eye-Fi card, or when - used in a hot environment; this is not a malfunction. Electronically Controlled Cameras In extremely rare instances, unusual characters may appear in the monitor and the camera may stop functioning. In most cases, this phenomenon is caused by a strong external static charge. Turn the camera off, remove and reinsert the battery, then turn the camera on again. In the event of continued malfunction, contact your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative. Note that disconnecting the power source as described above may result in the loss of any data not recorded to internal memory or the memory card at the time the problem occurred. Data already recorded will not be affected. Shooting Problem No image captured when shutter-release button is pressed. The camera cannot focus. Images are blurred.
