<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 warrantee 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 200 cm (6 ft 6 in.) on a 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood panel) compliant with the MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock1 standard.2
Changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the camera, are not measured in Nikon’s in-house test.
1U.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).
2 When the lens protectors or underwater lens protectors are attached.
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.*

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, lens, or underwater lens protector when there are sharp temperature changes or high humidity, such as in the environmental conditions described below. This is not a 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.
•The camera or underwater lens protector is wet when the underwater lens protector is attached.
● Reducing condensation
•Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, put the camera and a commercially-available 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.
•Avoid storing the camera in places where the camera may become hot (such as places exposed to direct sunlight) before using it underwater. Taking the camera underwater while it is hot causes condensation due to sudden changes in temperature.
● 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 from the lens or monitor, remove the battery and memory card, and leave the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the camera to adjust to the ambient temperature. When the underwater lens protector is fogged, remove it.
•If the underwater lens protector is still fogged, try to clear the fogging by removing the underwater lens protector and using the camera for a while before attaching it again.
