Before Using The Camera Underwater - Nikon COOLPIX S30 Reference Manual

• If a foreign substance adheres to the outside of the
camera or the inside of the battery-chamber/memory
card slot cover (such as the hinge, internal cover,
memory card slot, and connectors), remove it
immediately with a blower. If a foreign substance
adheres to the waterproof packing inside the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover, remove it with the
included brush. Do not use the included brush for
anything other than cleaning the waterproof packing.
• If a foreign substance such as suntan oil, sunscreen
lotion, hot spring, bath mix powder, detergent, soap, organic solvent, oil, or alcohol
adheres to the camera, immediately wipe it off.
• 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 or on the internal cover.
• Any foreign substances such as sand, dust or hair inside the battery-chamber/memory
card slot cover or on the internal cover should be removed with a blower.
• Any liquid such as water droplets inside the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover
or internal cover should be wiped off with a soft dry cloth.
2. Make sure that the waterproof packing (A 3) at the entrance of the battery
chamber 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.
