When the finder image is bright, the focus brackets are displayed in black and when the finder image is dark, the focus brackets are momentarily illuminated in red. The selected focus area can be identified easily in both bright and dark conditions with this function. Also, the new Advanced Focusing Screen Display allows the superimposition of On-Demand Grid Lines. The grid lines can be displayed by using Custom Setting Menu #2 (P.96). These grids assist you in composing the frame, in taking landscape pictures or in shifting/tilting PC-Nikkor lenses. Due to characteristics of the LCD used in the Vari-Brite Focus Area display system, a thin line outside the selected focus area may also be displayed or the entire viewfinder may be illuminated in red under certain conditions. These are not malfunctions. N About Advanced Focusing Screen Display N 15 MOUNTING THE CAMERA LENS 1 Check the lens type.

N About the Batteries N h Never use a battery when the outer casing is split or peeling as Outer casing this could result in a short-circuit and cause major problems due to battery fluid leakage or overheating. h Do not use AA-size lithium, manganese or nickel-cadmium (NiCd) batteries. h Do not use batteries of different types or brands together and do not use new batteries together with used batteries. h The useful life of alkaline batteries varies depending on the brand. The life of some batteries may be considerably shorter than the batteries supplied with the camera. Due to the nature of alkaline batteries, the time for which they can be used is shorter in cold locations (+10°C (+50°F) or below). h Soiling such as fingermarks or grease on the poles of batteries can significantly reduce the number of shots that can be taken. h See P.112 for other precautions concerning the use of batteries.

You should replace the batteries. 3The batteries are fully depleted. You must replace the batteries. The display switches off and the camera stops operating, after which the display lights again. Loss of power while an image is being saved will prevent the image from being saved successfully. Take note of the battery level when you are taking shots where image saving will take some time (continuous shooting or when the quality is set to "HIGH"). 1 To switch the camera on, set the Power switch to "ON".

When you are using only the four AA-size Ni-MH batteries, remove the used lithium batteries from the camera. The time for which the camera can be used is shorter, and as far as possible this should only be used as an emergency measure. Note that the displays on the top and rear display panels both function as battery level indicators for the AA-size Ni-MH batteries. When you are taking pictures in locations where you think you will have difficulty purchasing lithium batteries, it is a good idea to take along some spare lithium batteries or carry some fully charged Ni-MH batteries for emergencies.
