Use Only Nikon Brand Electronic Accessories
Nikon COOLPIX cameras are designed to the highest standards and include complex
electronic circuitry. Only Nikon brand electronic accessories (including battery chargers,
batteries, Charging AC Adapters, AC adapters, and USB cables) certified by Nikon specifically

operational and safety requirements of this electronic circuitry.
THE USE OF NON-NIKON ELECTRONIC ACCESSORIES COULD DAMAGE THE CAMERA AND
MAY VOID YOUR NIKON WARRANTY.
The use of third-party rechargeable Li-ion batteries not bearing the Nikon holographic seal
could interfere with normal operation of the camera or result in the batteries overheating,
igniting, rupturing, or leaking.
For more information about Nikon brand accessories, contact a local authorized Nikon
dealer.

<Important> Notes About Shockproof,
Waterproof, and Dustproof Performance and
Condensation
• The shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof performance described here do not
guarantee that the camera will remain completely waterproof or free from damage
and trouble under all conditions.
• Do not subject the camera to excessive shock, vibration or pressure by dropping it,
hitting it, or placing a heavy object on it. Failure to observe this precaution could
deform the camera, cause water to seep inside, or damage the airtight seals,
resulting in camera malfunction.
• Your Nikon warranty may not cover troubles caused by water seeping inside the
camera due to improper handling of the camera.
Notes About Shockproof Performance
This camera has passed Nikon’s in-house test (drop test from a height of 180 cm (5 ft
10 in.) on a 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood panel) compliant with the MIL-STD 810F
Method 516.5-Shock* standard.
Changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the camera, are
not measured in 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 (4 ft) 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).
Notes About Waterproof and Dustproof Performance
The camera is rated equivalent to JIS/IEC waterproof class 8 (IPX8) and JIS/IEC
dustproof class 6 (IP6X) and can shoot images underwater at a depth of 10 m (33 ft)
for up to 60 minutes.*
* 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.
- The waterproof performance of this camera was tested in fresh water (swimming
pools, rivers, and lakes) and salt water only.
- The inner portion of this camera is not waterproof. Water seeping inside the camera
could cause the components to rust, resulting in high repair costs or irreparable damage.
B Precautions When Cleaning
• Do not puncture the microphone or speaker openings with a sharp implement. If the
inside of the camera is damaged, the waterproof performance will deteriorate.
• Do not use soap, neutral detergents, or chemicals such as benzene for cleaning.

Waterproof packing
Performance
• Do not drop the camera, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw it
against a water surface.
• Do not subject the camera to shock when using it underwater.
- Do not subject the camera to water pressure by exposing it to rapids or
waterfalls.
- Do not expose to depths greater than 10 m (33 ft) underwater.
- Make sure not to drop the camera underwater. This camera does not float in
water.
• Do not continuously use the camera underwater for 60 minutes or more.
• Do not insert a wet memory card or battery in the camera.
- Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover when the camera or
your hands are wet. Doing so may cause water to seep inside the camera or
result in camera malfunction.
• Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover underwater.
• If moisture such as water droplets adheres to
the outside of the camera or inside of the
battery-chamber/memory card slot cover,
immediately wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.
- If a foreign substance adheres to the
outside of the camera or inside of the
battery-chamber/memory card slot cover,
immediately remove it with a blower or a
soft cloth.
- If a foreign substance adheres to the
waterproof packing inside the batterychamber/memory card slot cover, remove it
with the included brush. Do not use the
included brush for anything other than
cleaning the waterproof packing.
• Do not leave the camera in cold conditions or in
hot conditions of 40°C (104°F) or more for a long
period of time.
- Doing so could cause deterioration of the
waterproof performance.
- When using the camera underwater, make sure the water temperature is from
0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F).
• Do not use the camera at hot springs.

Introduction
<Important> Notes About Shockproof, Waterproof, and Dustproof
Performance and Condensation
Before Using the Camera Underwater
Check the items below before using the camera underwater.
• Make sure that there are no foreign substances inside the battery-chamber/
memory card slot cover.
• Make sure that the waterproof packing of the battery-chamber/memory card slot
cover is not cracked or deformed.
- Make sure that the waterproof packing is not detached from the camera.
• Make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is firmly closed.
- Make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover security lock is in
the LOCK position.
Notes About Operating Temperature, Humidity, and
Condensation
The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures from –10°C to +40°C
(14°F to 104°F).
When you use the camera in cold climate regions or at high altitudes, observe the
following precautions.
• Battery performance deteriorates temporarily when cold. Keep the camera and
batteries warm under your clothing before use.
• Camera performance may deteriorate temporarily if it is exposed to extreme cold
for an extended period. For example, the monitor may appear darker than normal
immediately after the camera is turned on, or residual images may be produced.
● Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation inside of
the camera
Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor or lens when there
are sharp temperature changes or high humidity, such as in the environmental
conditions described below. This is not a camera malfunction or defect.
• The camera is suddenly immersed in cold water after being in a hot place on land.
• The camera is brought to a warm place such as inside a building after being in the
cold outdoors.
• The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed in a highhumidity environment.
● Clearing the fogging
• Turn off the camera and open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while
in a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid places with high
temperature, high humidity, sand, or dust).
To clear the fogging, remove the battery and memory card, and leave the batterychamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the camera to adjust to the
ambient temperature.

<Important> Notes About Shockproof, Waterproof, and Dustproof
Performance and Condensation
Inspection and Repair
• If the camera is exposed to shock, it is recommended to consult your retailer or
Nikon-authorized service representative to confirm the waterproof performance
(charged service).
• If the waterproof packing begins to deteriorate, consult your retailer or Nikonauthorized service representative. The waterproof performance of the waterproof
packing may start to deteriorate after one year.
• If water seeps inside the camera, immediately stop using it and take it to your
Nikon-authorized service representative.
