Introduction
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. This could cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.
Before Using the Camera Underwater
1. Make sure that there are no foreign substances inside the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover.
Any foreign substances such as sand, dust or hair inside the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover should be removed with a blower.
Any liquid such as water droplets inside the battery-chamber/memory
card slot cover should be wiped off with a soft dry cloth.
2. Make sure that the waterproof packing (A2) of the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover is not cracked or deformed.
The waterproof performance of waterproof packing may start to
deteriorate after one year. If the waterproof packing begins to deteriorate,
consult your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative.
Also make sure that the waterproof packing does not come off.
3. Make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is
firmly closed.
Slide the cover until it clicks into place.
