<Important> Shockproof, Waterproof, Dustproof, Condensation
• Make sure to read the following instructions as well as the instructions provided in
“Caring for the Product” (A113).
Notes About Shockproof Performance
This camera has passed Nikon’s in-house test (drop test from a height of 1.5 m (5 ft) on
a 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood panel) compliant with MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5Shock*.
This test does not guarantee the waterproof performance of the camera or that the
camera will be free from damage or trouble under all conditions.
Changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the drop shock
portion are not subject to the Nikon’s in-house test.
* U.S. Department of Defense test method standard.
This drop test drops 5 cameras in 26 directions (8 edges, 12 corners, and 6 faces) from a
height of 122 cm (48 in.) to make sure that one to five cameras pass the test (if any defect
is detected during the test, another five cameras are tested to make sure that the test
criteria are satisfied for one to five cameras).
bDo not subject the camera to excessive shock, vibration or pressure by
dropping or hitting it, or by placing heavy objects on it.
Deformation may damage the airtight seals and water may seep inside the camera,
resulting in camera malfunction.
• Do not use the camera deeper than 10 m (33 ft) underwater.
• Do not subject the camera to water pressure by exposing it to high-pressure
running water.
• Do not sit down with the camera in the pocket of your trousers.
Do not forcibly stuff the camera into a bag.
Notes About Waterproof and Dustproof Performances
The camera is equivalent to IEC/JIS waterproof grade 8 (IPX8) and IEC/JIS dustproof
grade 6 (IP6X) and enables shooting pictures underwater at a depth of 10 m (33 ft) for
up to 60 minutes.*
This rating does not guarantee the waterproof performance of the camera or that the
camera will be free from damage or trouble under all conditions.
* This rating indicates that the camera has been designed to withstand the specified water
pressure for the specified period of time when the camera is used according to the
methods defined by Nikon.
