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 Nikons 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 Nikons 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.

29For your safety

Notes about shockproof, waterproof, and dustproof performance Do not drop the camera, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw it

against a water surface. Do not subject the camera to shock when using it underwater.

- Do not subject the camera to water pressure by exposing it to rapids or waterfalls.

- Do not expose to depths greater than 10 m (33 ft) underwater. - Make sure not to drop the camera underwater. This camera does not float in

water. Do not continuously use the camera underwater for 60 minutes or more. Do not insert a wet memory card or battery in the camera.

- Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover when the camera or your hands are wet. Doing so may cause water to seep inside the camera or result in camera malfunction.

Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover underwater. If moisture such as water droplets

adheres to the outside of the camera or inside of the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, immediately wipe it off with a soft dry cloth. - If a foreign substance adheres to the

outside of the camera or inside of the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, immediately remove it with a blower or a soft cloth.

- 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.

Do not leave the camera in cold conditions or in hot conditions of 40C (104F) or more for a long period of time. - Doing so could cause deterioration of the

waterproof performance. - When using the camera underwater, make sure the water temperature is from

0C to 40C (32F to 104F). Do not use the camera at hot springs.

Waterproof packing

30 For your safety

Before using the camera underwater Check the items below before using the camera underwater. Make sure that there are no foreign substances inside the battery-chamber/

memory card slot cover. Make sure that the waterproof packing of the battery-chamber/memory card slot

cover is not cracked or deformed. - Make sure that the waterproof packing is not detached from the camera.

Make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is firmly closed. - Slide the cover until it locks in place with a click.

Notes about operating temperature, humidity, and condensation The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures from 10C to +40C (14F to 104F). When you use the camera in cold climate regions or at high altitudes, observe the following precautions. Battery performance deteriorates temporarily when cold. Keep the camera and

batteries warm under your clothing before use. Camera performance may deteriorate temporarily if it is exposed to extreme cold

for an extended period. For example, the monitor may appear darker than normal immediately after the camera is turned on, or residual images may be produced.

Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the monitor or lens when there are sharp temperature changes or high humidity, such as in the environmental conditions described below. This is not a camera malfunction or defect. The camera is suddenly immersed in cold water after being in a hot place on land. The camera is brought to a warm place such as inside a building after being in the

cold outdoors. The battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed in a high-

humidity environment.

Reducing condensation Open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, put the camera and a

commercially-available desiccant in a container such as a plastic bag, and seal the container. Condensation is less likely to occur if the humidity inside the camera is reduced.

Before using the camera underwater, avoid storing it in locations where the camera may become hot (such as under direct sunlight). If you submerge the camera underwater while it is hot, the sudden change in temperature may cause condensation.

31For your safety

Clearing the fogging Turn off the camera and open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover while

in a place where the ambient temperature is stable (avoid places with high temperature, high humidity, sand, or dust). To clear the fogging, remove the battery and memory card, and leave the battery- chamber/memory card slot cover open to allow the camera to adjust to the ambient temperature.

Inspection and repair If the camera is exposed to shock, it is recommended to consult your retailer or

Nikon-authorized service representative to confirm the waterproof performance (charged service).

If the waterproof packing begins to deteriorate, consult your retailer or Nikon- authorized service representative. The waterproof performance of the waterproof packing may start to deteriorate after one year.

If water seeps inside the camera, immediately stop using it and take it to your Nikon-authorized service representative.

Notes about the monitor Monitors (including electronic viewfinders) are constructed with extremely high

precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01% being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.

Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting. Do not apply pressure to the monitor, as this could cause damage or malfunction.

Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury caused by broken glass and to prevent the liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes or mouth.

The battery Precautions for use Note that the battery may become hot after use. Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0C (32F) or above 40C

(104F) as this could cause damage or malfunction. If you notice any abnormalities such as excessive heat, smoke, or an unusual smell

coming from the battery, immediately discontinue use and consult your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative.

After removing the battery from the camera or optional battery charger, put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it.

Charging the battery Check the battery level before using the camera and replace or charge the battery if necessary. Charge the battery indoors with an ambient temperature of 5C to 35C (41F to

95F) before use. A high battery temperature may prevent the battery from charging properly or

completely, and may reduce battery performance. Note that the battery may become hot after use; wait for the battery to cool before charging. When charging the battery inserted into this camera using the Charging AC Adapter or a computer, the battery is not charged at battery temperatures below 5C (41F) or above 55C (131F).

When the battery temperature is between 45C55C (113F131F), the chargeable capacity may decrease.

Do not continue charging once the battery is fully charged as this will result in reduced battery performance.

The battery temperature may increase during charging. However, this is not a malfunction.

Carrying spare batteries Whenever possible, carry fully charged spare batteries when taking pictures on important occasions.

Using the battery when cold On cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. If an exhausted battery is used at a low temperature, the camera may not turn on. Keep spare batteries in a warm place and exchange as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

Battery terminals Dirt on the battery terminals may prevent the camera from functioning. Should the battery terminals become dirty, wipe them off with a clean, dry cloth before use.

36 For your safety

Charging an exhausted battery Turning the camera on or off while an exhausted battery is inserted in the camera may result in reduced battery life. Charge the exhausted battery before use.

Storing the battery Always remove the battery from the camera or optional battery charger when it is

not being used. Minute amounts of current are drawn from the battery while it is in the camera, even when not in use. This may result in excessive battery drain and complete loss of function.

Charging a used battery within six months is recommended. When storing the battery for long periods, recharge it at least once every six months and use the camera until the battery level indicator is U before returning it to storage.

Put the battery in a plastic bag, etc. in order to insulate it and store it in a cool place. The battery should be stored in a dry location with an ambient temperature of 15C to 25C (59F to 77F). Do not store the battery in hot or extremely cold locations.

Battery life A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge, when used at room temperature, indicates that the battery needs to be replaced. Purchase a new battery.

Recycling used batteries Recycle rechargeable batteries in accord with local regulations, being sure to first insulate the terminals with tape.

The Charging AC Adapter The EH-73P Charging AC Adapter is for use only with compatible devices. Do not

use with another make or model of device. Do not use any USB cable other than the UC-E21. Using a USB cable other than the

UC-E21 could result in overheating, fire or electric shock. Do not, under any circumstances, use another make or model of AC adapter other

than the EH-73P Charging AC Adapter, and do not use a commercially available USB-AC adapter or a battery charger for a mobile phone. Failure to observe this precaution could result in overheating or in damage to the camera.

The EH-73P is compatible with AC 100240 V, 50/60 Hz electrical outlets. When using in other countries, use a plug adapter (commercially available) as necessary. For more information about plug adapters, consult your travel agency.
