<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 240 cm (7 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 test is defined by preparing 5 cameras and making sure that the test is passed within
5 cameras by dropping in 26 directions (8 corners, 12 edges, and 6 faces) from a height of
122 cm (4 ft).
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 30 m (100 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.
- Accessories are not waterproof.
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.

Notes About Shockproof, Waterproof, and Dustproof
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 30 m (100 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
battery-chamber/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.
• Remove the camera strap for land use.
• 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 latch indicator indicates the “Close” status.
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
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.
● Reducing condensation
•
Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, put the camera and a commerciallyavailable desiccant in a container such as a plastic bag, and seal the container.
Condensation is less likely to occur if the humidity inside the camera is reduced.
• Before using the camera underwater, avoid storing it in locations where the camera
may become hot (such as under direct sunlight).
If you submerge the camera underwater while it is hot, the sudden change in
temperature may cause condensation.

Introduction
<Important> Notes About Shockproof, Waterproof, and Dustproof
Performance and Condensation
● 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.
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.

B Formatting a Memory Card
The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this
camera, make sure to format it with this camera.

data on the memory card. Be sure to make copies of any images you wish to keep
before formatting the memory card.
• Insert the memory card into the camera, press the d button, and select Format card in
the setup menu (A119).
Removing the Battery or Memory Card
Turn the camera off and make sure that the power-on lamp and screen have turned
off, and then open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover.
• Move the battery latch to eject the battery.
• Gently push the memory card into the camera to partially eject the memory card.
• Be careful when handling the camera, battery, and memory card immediately after
using the camera, as they may be hot.
