Shockproof, Waterproof, Dustproof, Condensation • Make sure to read the following instructions as well as the instructions provided in “Caring for the Product” (page 33). Notes About Shockproof Performance This camera has passed Nikon’s in-house test (drop test from a height of 1.5 m (5 ft) on a 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood panel) compliant with MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5Shock*.
b If 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.
• 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. • Do not leave the camera in high-temperature conditions of 40°C (104°F) or more (in particular, a place exposed to direct sunlight, inside the cabin of a car, on a boat, on the beach, or near a heating device) for a long period of time.
Cleaning After Using the Camera Underwater After using the camera underwater or at the beach or other sandy or dusty environment, wipe off any sand, dust, or salt with a dry cloth lightly dampened with fresh water and dry thoroughly within 60 minutes. If you leave the camera in wet conditions where salt particles or other foreign substances adhere to it, this could cause damage, discoloration, corrosion, a bad smell or deterioration of waterproof performance.
3 After making sure that there are no water droplets on the camera, open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, gently wipe off any water remaining inside the camera with a dry soft cloth, and use the blower to remove any foreign substances. • If you open the cover before the camera is thoroughly dried, water droplets may fall on the memory card or battery.
Notes About Operating Temperature and Humidity and Condensation The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures –10°C – +40°C (14°F–104°F). When you use the camera in cold climate regions, observe the following precautions. Keep the camera and spare batteries in a warm place before use. • The performance of the batteries (number of pictures shot and shooting time) will drop temporarily.
Caring for the Product Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your Safety” (pages 23-25) and “ Shockproof, Waterproof, Dustproof, Condensation” (pages 27-32) when using or storing the device. The Camera Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition, do not touch or apply force to the lens.
The Battery Precautions for Use • Note that the battery may become hot after use. • Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°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 Nikon-authorized service representative.
Charging an Exhausted Battery Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera may result in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use. Storing the Battery • Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is not being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in the camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and complete loss of function.
Memory Cards Precautions for Use • Use only Secure Digital memory cards. See “Approved Memory Cards” (page 43) for recommended memory cards. • Be sure to follow the precautions described in the documentation included with the memory card. • Do not put labels or stickers on memory cards. Formatting • Do not format the memory card using a computer. • The first time you insert a memory card that has been used in another device into this camera, be sure to format it with this camera.
Cleaning and Storage Cleaning Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals. Lens Avoid touching glass parts with your fingers. Remove dust or lint with a blower (typically a small device with a rubber bulb attached to one end that is pumped to produce a stream of air out the other end). To remove fingerprints or other stains that cannot be removed with a blower, wipe the lens with a soft cloth, using a spiral motion that starts at the center of the lens and working toward the edges.
