Introduction • 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 batterychamber/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 Nikonauthorized service representative. xvii
