Jules,
I have always received an answer from Nikon at
Nikon - Digital Imaging <digitalimaging@nikonincmail.com>
Not usually the answer I wanted, but they do answer and quite promptly I
would guess their answer in this case (send it back for repair), so I am
afraid I have not been much help again
Good luck,
Julian.
