Setup, Compatibility & Care

To get started, insert the provided EN-EL14a battery and a compatible SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card into the side slot. Attach your Nikon F-mount lens, ensuring the white dots on the lens and body are aligned before twisting until it clicks. Charge the battery using the included MH-24 charger; a full charge typically takes a few hours. To keep your camera in top condition, use a soft, dry cloth to clean the body, and a specialized blower for the sensor if you notice dust spots in your photos. When storing the camera for long periods, remove the battery to prevent leakage, and keep the device in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup.
