Notes About Waterproof and Dustproof Performances
The camera is equivalent to IEC/JIS waterproof grade 8 (IPX8) and IEC/JIS dustproof grade 6
(IP6X) and enables shooting pictures underwater at a depth of 10 m (33 ft) for up to 60
minutes.*
This rating does not guarantee the waterproof performance of the camera or that the camera
will be free from damage or trouble under all conditions.
* 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.
bIf the camera is subjected to excessive shock, vibration or pressure by dropping
or hitting 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 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.
• 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. Water seeping inside the camera could
cause a malfunction.
• 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.
