Nikon Corp. will stop selling a digital camera model in China and offer free repairs, following claims on Chinese state-run television that product defects caused “black spots” on photographs.
The Tokyo-based company received a Chinese government order today to stop selling its D600 cameras and asked dealers to halt sales, Ryota Satake, a Nikon spokesman, said by phone. Nikon had earlier said it would service the models even after warranties expire, after China Central Television showed hidden-camera footage of customers demanding refunds and exchanges while local service staff blamed dust and smog for the spots.
