<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.

Performance and Condensation
Page 12
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.

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.

- 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.

Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry of Canada (IC)
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 80, which is equipped with a LBEE5ZZ1GV-893 (FCC ID:2AAD3JA0M0P0/ IC
ID: 4634A-6152EC) Wireless LAN Module, has been tested and found to comply with
FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets
the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report
that was uploaded to FCC website.
Notice for Customers in Europe
Declaration of Conformity (Europe)
Hereby, Nikon Corporation, declares that KeyMission 80 is in compliance with the
essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. The

Notes About the Monitor
• Monitors (including electronic viewfinders) are constructed with extremely high precision ;
at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective.
Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or
green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded
with the device.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Should
the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to
prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or
mouth.
The Built-in Rechargeable Battery
Precautions for Use
• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below –10°C (14°F) or above +40°C
(104°F) as this could cause damage or malfunction.
• If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell coming
from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or Nikonauthorized service representative.
Charging the Battery
A rechargeable lithium-ion battery is built into this camera. Charge the battery with the
Charging AC Adapter before using the camera because the battery is not fully charged at
the time of purchase (A10).
• Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F)
before use.
• A high camera temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or
completely, and may reduce battery performance.
• Note that the camera may become hot after use; wait for the camera to cool before
charging.
• The battery is not charged at built-in battery temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 60°C
(140°F).
• If the built-in battery temperature is in the range of 45°C (113°F) to 60°C (140°F), the
rechargeable capacity may decrease.
• Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced
battery performance.
• The camera temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a
malfunction.
Technical Notes
Caring for the Product
65
Page 82
Sufficiently Charge the Battery When Cold
On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Do not cool the camera at low
temperatures. A camera whose battery is exhausted at low temperature may not turn on.
Keep the camera in a warm place. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its
charge.
Charging a Camera That Has an Exhausted Battery
Turning on or off a camera that has an exhausted battery may result in reduced built-in
battery life. Charge the camera that has an exhausted battery before use.
Storing the Battery
• Recharge the camera at least once every six months and completely exhaust it before
returning it to storage.
• Store the camera in a cool place. The battery should be stored in a dry location. Do not
store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.
Rechargeable Battery Life and Replacement
A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge, when used at room
temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. For replacement (charges
apply) with a new rechargeable battery, consult your Nikon-authorized service
representative. You cannot replace the rechargeable battery.
