<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 150 cm (5 ft)
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.
Accessories are not shockproof.

* 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 7 (IPX7) and JIS/IEC
dustproof class 6 (IP6X). Waterproofing prevents water from entering the camera
underwater up to 30 minutes at a depth of 1 m (3 ft 3 in.).*

However, the camera cannot be used underwater.

Accessories are not waterproof.

* 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.

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

B Precautions When Cleaning

Waterproofing packing

• 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 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 underwater.

- Do not subject the camera to water pressure by exposing it to rapids or
waterfalls.

- Do not expose to depths greater than 1 m (3 ft 3 in.) underwater.

- Make sure not to drop the camera underwater. This camera does not float in
water.

• Do not continuously immerse the camera in water for 30 minutes or more.

• Do not insert a wet memory card in the camera.

- Do not open the memory card slot/connector 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 memory card slot/connector cover underwater.

• If moisture such as water droplets

adheres to the outside of the camera or
inside of the memory card slot/connector
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
memory card slot/connector cover,
immediately remove it with a blower
or a soft cloth.

• 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.

• Do not use the camera at hot springs.

Introduction

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

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 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 lenses 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 memory card slot/connector cover is opened or closed in a high-humidity
environment.

● Clearing the fogging

• Turn off the camera and open the memory card slot/connector 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 memory card, and leave the memory card slot/
connector 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 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.

cause a malfunction.

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.

environment or with wet hands. If the cover is closed without removing foreign particles,
water may seep inside the camera or the camera may become damaged (Axii).

B Inserting or Removing a Memory Card

Be careful not to quickly release your finger when pushing in a memory card because it may
pop out. Do not point the memory card slot toward your face.

Adapter. Once the two are connected, attempting to forcibly remove the plug adapte r
could damage the product.

* The shape of the plug adapter varies according to the country or region in which the

camera was purchased.
This step can be omitted if the plug adapter comes permanently bonded to the
Charging AC Adapter.

• Charging starts when the camera is connected to an electrical outlet as shown in the

illustration. The status lamp (A3) slowly flashes green while the battery is charging.

• The camera cannot be charged when it is set in the included Camera Holder.

• When charging is complete, the status lamp turns off. Unplug the Charging AC

Adapter from the electrical outlet, and disconnect the USB cable.
Charging time is about 2 hours 30 minutes for a fully exhausted battery.

• The battery cannot be charged (error) when the status lamp is quickly flashing
green, possibly due to one of the reasons described below.

- The ambient temperature is not suited to charging. Charge the battery indoors

- The USB cable or Charging AC Adapter is not properly connected.

- The battery is damaged.

• The camera can be operated while the battery is charging, but the charging time
increases.

• Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other than
the EH-73P/EH-73PCH Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially available
USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

C External Rechargeable Battery
