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.
B
Shock and Vibration
Do not drop the camera, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw
it at a water surface. Do not leave the camera in an area subject to vibration. If
the camera is subjected to excessive shock, this could result in camera
malfunction or damage.
