The KeyMission 360 is a new concept camera that is slightly
different from the cameras before it.
• Create 360° content
The camera combines two images captured by lenses
with an angle of view of about 180 degrees so that you
can enjoy creating 360° content (except when shooting
underwater).
• Easy shooting with just one button
You can press a button to simultaneously turn on the
camera and shoot.
• Connect to a smart device
Perform various operations and settings using a dedicated app due to the camera's
lack of a screen.
• A wide variety of accessories that expands shooting capabilities
The Images
The two captured images are processed in the camera and saved as a single image.
You can shoot at a 4K UHD size.
• The camera may be unable to capture subjects within about 60 cm (2 ft) from the
camera’s top, bottom, or sides.
• Under some shooting conditions, the boundaries of the composited areas may be
noticeable.
• Under some shooting conditions, images may not match perfectly at the
composite boundaries.

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.
● Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation
Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the lenses, lens protectors, or
underwater lens protectors 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, lens protector, or underwater lens protector are still wet when they are
attached to each other.
• The camera is used for an extended period of time in a low-temperature
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 on the lens, 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 a lens protector or underwater lens protector is
fogged, remove the protector, and attach it to the camera again after the fogging
has cleared.
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 waterproofing packing begins to deteriorate, consult your retailer or Nikonauthorized service representative. The waterproof performance of the
waterproofing 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.

Maximum Movie Recording Time
The available recording time for a single movie depends on the remaining space in a
memory card.
• The remaining recording time for a single movie is displayed on the shooting
screen of the SnapBridge 360/170 app.
• The actual remaining recording time may vary depending on the movie content,
subject movement, or type of memory card.
• microSDXC memory cards with an SD Speed Class rating of 6 or faster are
recommended for recording movies.
- Memory cards with a UHS Speed Class rating of 3 or faster are recommended
when the image size/frame rate is 2160/24p (4K UHD) or 1920/24p.
- When using a memory card with a lower Speed Class rating, movie recording
may stop unexpectedly.
B Camera Temperature
• The camera may become hot when recording movies for an extended period of time or
when the camera is used in a hot area.
• If the inside of the camera becomes extremely hot when recording movies, the status
lamps will quickly flash red and the camera will automatically stop recording.
After the camera stops recording, it turns itself off.
Leave the camera off until the inside of the camera has cooled.
C Movies Over 4 GB in Size
When a movie with a file size of more than 4 GB is recorded, the movie is divided into files
with a maximum size of 4 GB each.
Notes About Movie Recording
B Notes About Recorded Movies
• The following phenomena may be saved in movies.
- Banding may occur in images under fluorescent, mercury-vapor, or sodium-vapor
lighting.
- Subjects that move quickly from one side of the frame to the other, such as a moving
train or car, may appear skewed.
- The entire movie image may be skewed when the camera is panned.
- Lighting or other bright areas may leave residual images when the camera is moved.
• Depending on the distance to the subject, colored stripes may appear on subjects with
repeating patterns (fabrics, lattice windows, etc.) during movie recording and playback.
This occurs when the pattern in the subject and the layout of the image sensor interfere
with each other; it is not a malfunction.

Use to record a movie while moving the camera. The camera compresses the time
of changes in the subject and saves the movie.
At 6×, a movie recorded for six minutes is played back as a one-minute movie.
• Loop recording:
After recording a movie for a specified time, the camera continues recording the
movie while deleting the recorded movie data from the beginning (the movie is
recorded as five separate files). Only the most recent data is saved on the memory
card, resulting in a movie of the specified length.
When playing back the recorded movies saved in the camera on a TV, split movies
are played back continuously.

Declaration of Conformity
This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and Industry Canada licence-exempt
RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.
FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement
This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are
associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that
these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices
emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being
used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),
exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known
adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any
biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might
occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
KeyMission 360, which is equipped with a TYPE1FJ (FCC ID:VPYLB1FJ / IC ID:772CLB1FJ) Wireless LAN Module, has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC

Pairing the Camera and Remote Control
Before using the remote control for the first time, it must be paired with the camera.
* In this manual, “pairing” refers to the establishment of a Bluetooth connection between
the camera and remote control.
• The camera can only be paired with one remote control at a time. When the
camera is paired to a different remote control, only the most recent pairing
information is saved.
1 Launch the SnapBridge 360/170 app on your smart device, and
tap c Camera M Remote options M Pair remote.
• When the status lamps on the camera flash green at the same time for a while and
then alternately flash green, the camera enters pairing standby mode for the
remote control.
• If pairing fails, the status lamps on the camera flash red six times at the same time,
and then turn off. Turn off the camera, and then press and hold the movie button
on the camera for about 7 seconds. The camera turns on in pairing standby mode
for the remote control. Proceed to step 2.
2 Check that the remote control is off, and then press and hold (for
at least 3 seconds) the power button on the remote control.
• Pairing starts for the camera and remote control. While the process is being
performed, the status lamp on the remote control flashes green.
• When pairing is complete, the status lamp on the remote control turns off, and the
status lamps on the camera flash green twice at the same time.
• If pairing fails, the status lamps on the camera flash red six times at the same time.
Perform the procedure again from step 1.

Notes About Waterproof Performance of the Remote Control
The remote control is rated equivalent to JIS/IEC waterproof class 7 (IPX7), and it is
confirmed that water does not seep inside when soaked underwater at a depth of 1 m
(3.2 ft) for up to 30 minutes.
- The remote control cannot be used underwater.
Notes About Condensation and Waterproof Performance of the
Remote Control
• Do not drop the remote control, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or
throw it against a water surface.
• Do not take the remote control underwater.
- If the remote control is dropped in water by accident, immediately pick it up
and wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not insert a wet battery in the remote control.
- Do not open the battery-chamber cover when the remote control or your hands
are wet. Doing so may cause water to seep inside the remote control and result
in malfunction.
• If moisture such as water droplets or a foreign substance adheres to the outside of
the remote control or the inside of the battery-chamber cover, immediately wipe it
off with a soft dry cloth.
• Make sure that the battery-chamber cover is firmly closed.
- Make sure that the battery-chamber cover is in the CLOSE position.
- Make sure that no foreign substance such as lint is caught in the battery-
chamber cover. Failure to observe this precaution could cause water to seep
inside the remote control.
• Do not leave the remote control 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.
• Do not suddenly bring the remote control to high-humidity environment if it is
exposed to extreme cold for an extended period.
- Condensation may form inside the remote control.
