Notes about shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof performance and condensation • The shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof performance described here do not guarantee that the camera will remain completely waterproof or free from damage and trouble under all conditions. • Do not subject the camera to excessive shock, vibration or pressure by dropping it, hitting it, or placing a heavy object on it. Failure to observe this precaution could deform the camera, cause water to seep inside, or damage the airtight seals, resulting in camera malfunction. • Your Nikon warranty may not cover troubles caused by water seeping inside the camera due to improper handling of the camera. Notes about shockproof performance This camera has passed Nikon's in-house test (drop test from a height of 180 cm (5 ft 10 in.) on a 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood panel) compliant with the MIL-STD-810G w/ Change 1 Method 516.7-Shock* standard. Changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the camera, are not measured in Nikon's in-house test. * U.S. Department of Defense test method standard. This test is defined by preparing 5 cameras and making sure that the test is passed within 5 cameras by dropping in 26 directions (8 corners, 12 edges, and 6 faces) from a height of 122 cm (4 ft). Notes about waterproof and dustproof performance The camera is rated equivalent to JIS/IEC waterproof class 8 (IPX8) and JIS/IEC dustproof class 6 (IP6X) and can shoot images underwater at a depth of 10 m (33 ft) for up to 60 minutes.* * 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. • The waterproof performance of this camera was tested in fresh water (swimming pools, rivers, and lakes) and salt water only. • The inner portion of this camera is not waterproof. Water seeping inside the camera could cause the components to rust, resulting in high repair costs or irreparable damage. • Accessories are not waterproof. B Precautions when cleaning • Do not puncture the microphone or speaker openings with a sharp implement. If the inside of the camera is damaged, the waterproof performance will deteriorate. • Do not use soap, neutral detergents, or chemicals such as benzene. 28 For your safety
