Thank you for choosing a Nikon product. This guide describes how to update distortion control lens data. If you are not confident that you can perform the update successfully, the update can be performed by a Nikon-authorized service representative. See the camera manual for information on camera operations.


Important
The camera may be damaged if power is interrupted or camera controls are operated during the update.
