• Make sure to read the following instructions as well as the instructions provided in
“Caring for the Products” (F2).
Notes on shockproof performance
This camera has passed Nikon’s in-house test (drop test from a height of 152 cm
(60 in.) on a 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood panel) compliant with MIL-STD 810F Method
516.5-Shock*.
This test does not guarantee the waterproof performance of the camera or that the
camera will be free from damage or trouble under all conditions.
Changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the drop
shock portion are not subject to the Nikon’s in-house test.
* U.S. Department of Defense test method standard.
This drop test drops 5 cameras in 26 directions (8 edges, 12 corners, and 6 faces) from a height of 122 cm
(48 in.) to make sure that one to five cameras pass the test (if any defect is detected during the test,
another five cameras are tested to make sure that the test criteria are satisfied for one to five cameras).
b Do not subject the camera to excessive shock, vibration or pressure by
dropping or hitting it.
Failure to observe this precaution could cause water to seep inside the camera and
result in camera malfunction.
• Do not use the camera deeper than 10 m (33 ft) underwater.
• Do not subject the camera to water pressure by exposing it to running water.
• Do not sit down with the camera in the pocket of your trousers.
Do not forcibly stuff the camera into a bag.
Notes on 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.
b
If the camera is subjected to excessive shock, vibration or pressure by
dropping or hitting it, the waterproof performance is not guaranteed.
