Technical Notes and Index
The Camera
To ensure continued enjoyment of this Nikon product, observe the precautions
described below in addition to the warnings in “For Your Safety” (Avii-ix) and
“<Important> Shockproof, Waterproof, Dustproof, Condensation“ (Axii-xvii)
when using or storing the device.
B Do Not Drop
The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration.
B Do Not Allow Damp to Enter Inside the Camera
This camera is provided with JIS/IEC protection class 8 (IPX8) equivalent
waterproofing. If water seeps inside the camera, however, this could cause the
components to rust and result in a high repair charge or the camera may not be
repairable. After using the camera at the beach or underwater, make sure that the
battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is firmly closed, and then immerse the
camera in a shallow container filled with fresh water for ten minutes. After using the
camera underwater, do not leave the camera wet for 60 minutes or more. This could
cause deterioration of the waterproofing performance.
B Prevent Water from Seeping Inside the Camera
If the inside of the camera becomes wet, this could result in camera malfunction and
the camera may not be repairable. To prevent water seeping (water submersion)
accidents, make sure to observe the following cautions when using the camera.
• When the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is closed, make sure that the
camera strap, hair, lint, dust, sand grains, other foreign substances, or dirt are not
attached on the waterproofing packing and portions that make a contact with the
waterproofing packing.
• Do not open and close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover in areas
exposed to water spray, high winds, dust or sand.
• When an external force is applied on the camera, it could become deformed or the
airtight seals may become damaged and cause water to seep inside the camera.
Do not place a heavy object on the camera, drop the camera, or apply excessive
force on 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.
