Introduction
<Important> Shockproof, Waterproof, Dustproof, Condensation
bIf the camera is subjected to excessive shock, vibration or pressure by
dropping or hitting it, or by placing heavy objects on it, the waterproof
performance is not guaranteed.
• If the camera is exposed to shocks, it is recommended to consult your retailer or
Nikon-authorized service representative to confirm the waterproof performance
(charged service).
- Do not drop the camera, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw it
at a water surface.
- Do not use the camera deeper than 10 m (33 ft) underwater.
- Do not subject the camera to water pressure by exposing it to rapid flowing
water or waterfalls.
- Your Nikon warrantee may not cover troubles caused by water seeping inside
the camera due to improper handling of the camera.
• If water seeps inside the camera, immediately stop using the camera. Wipe off
moisture from the camera, and at once take the camera to your Nikon-authorized
service representative.
• The waterproof performance of this camera is designed to work for fresh water and
seawater only.
• The inner portion of this camera is not waterproof. If water seeps inside the camera,
this could cause the components to rust and result in a high repair charge or the
camera may not be repairable.
• Accessories are not waterproof.
• If liquids or water droplets come into contact with the outside of the camera or the
inside of the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, immediately wipe the
liquids off with a soft dry cloth. Do not insert wet memory cards or the battery.
If the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed under wet
conditions near a waterfront or underwater, this could cause water to seep inside
the camera or result in camera malfunction.
Do not open or close the cover with wet hands. This could cause water to seep
inside the camera or result in camera malfunction.
• If a foreign substance adheres to the outside of
the camera or the inside of the battery-chamber/
memory card slot cover (such as the hinge,
memory card slot, and connectors), remove it
immediately with a blower. If a foreign substance
adheres to the waterproof packing inside the
battery-chamber/memory card slot cover,
remove it with the included brush. Do not use
the included brush for anything other than
cleaning the waterproof packing.
• If a foreign substance such as suntan oil, sunscreen lotion, hot spring water, bath
mix powder, detergent, soap, organic solvent, oil, or alcohol adheres to the camera,
immediately wipe it off. Failure to do so may cause the camera exterior to
deteriorate.
