<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 180 cm (5 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 10 m (33 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.

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 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 inside of
the camera

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.

● 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.

Using Skin Softening

In the following settings, if human faces are detected, the camera processes the
image to soften facial skin tones before saving the image (up to three faces).

• Smile timer (A39)

Make skin prettier can also be applied to saved images by using Add makeup in

playback mode (A67).

B Notes About Skin Softening

• It may take more time than usual to save images after shooting.

• Under some shooting conditions, the desired skin softening results may not be achieved,

and skin softening may be applied to areas of the image where there are no faces.

Subjects Not Suitable for Autofocus

The camera may not focus as expected in the following situations. In rare cases, the
subject may not be in focus despite the fact that the focus area or the focus indicator
is displayed in green:

• Subject is very dark

• Objects of sharply differing brightness are included in the scene (e.g. the sun

behind the subject makes that subject appear very dark)

• No contrast between the subject and surroundings (e.g. a portrait subject wearing

a white shirt is standing in front of a white wall)

• Several objects are at different distances from the camera (e.g. the subject is inside

a cage)

• Subjects with repeating patterns (window blinds, buildings with multiple rows of

similarly shaped windows, etc.)

• Subject is moving rapidly

In the situations noted above, try pressing the shutter-release button halfway to
refocus several times, or focus on another subject positioned at the same distance
from the camera as the actual desired subject, and use focus lock (A56).
