x Introduction
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 200 cm (6 ft 6 in.) on a 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood panel) compliant with the MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock1 standard.2
Changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the camera, are not measured in Nikons in-house test. 1 U.S. Department of Defense test method standard.
This drop test drops 5 cameras in 26 directions (8 edges, 12 corners, and 6 faces) from a height of 122 cm (4 ft) to make sure that one to five cameras pass the test (if any defect is detected during the test, another five cameras are tested to make sure that the test criteria are satisfied for one to five cameras).
2 When the lens protectors or underwater lens protectors are attached.
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 30 m (100 ft) for up to 60 minutes.1, 2 1 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.
2 The camera can be used up to a water depth of about 20 m (65 ft) when the lens protectors are attached. - 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.
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 for cleaning.
xiIntroduction
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 30 m (100 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.
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.
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 waterproofing packing of the battery-chamber/memory card
slot cover is not cracked or deformed. - Make sure that the waterproofing packing is not detached from the camera.
Make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is firmly closed. - Make sure that the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover latch is in the LOCK
position (A4).
xii Introduction
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.
Environmental conditions that are likely to cause condensation Fogging (condensation) may occur on the inside of the lenses, lens protectors, or underwater lens protectors depending on environments of sharp temperature changes or high humidity, or the condition of the camera, such as described below. This is not a 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. The camera, lens protector, or underwater lens protector are still wet when they are
attached to each other. The camera is used for an extended period of time in a low-temperature
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.
Avoid storing the camera in places where the camera may become hot (such as places exposed to direct sunlight) before using it underwater. Taking the camera underwater while it is hot causes condensation due to sudden changes in temperature.
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 on the lens, 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. When a lens protector or underwater lens protector is fogged, remove the protector, and attach it to the camera again after the fogging has cleared.
xiiiIntroduction
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 waterproofing packing begins to deteriorate, consult your retailer or Nikon- authorized service representative. The waterproof performance of the waterproofing 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.

We recommend attaching the silicone jacket to soften physical impacts to the camera. Attach by inserting the camera from the side of the silicone jacket so that the Nikon logos of the camera and silicone jacket overlap. If the Nikon logos do not overlap, the silicone jacket may appear in the images. When using the camera underwater, remove the silicone jacket because it may
shift out of place and appear in the images.
B Notes About the Silicone Jacket The silicone jacket is made of silicone. Cracking may occur from areas that are damaged. The silicone jacket may stretch or break if subjected to excessive force. Do not store in locations exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures or humidity. Wash in fresh water only. Do not clean with hard brushes or with alcohol, thinner, or other volatile substances. This silicone jacket cannot completely protect the camera or lenses from falls or other
physical shocks.

Make sure to attach the lens protectors or underwater lens protectors to protect the lens because they are made of glass.
Lens protector: Used to protect the lens (attached to the camera at time of factory shipment). Although the camera can be used underwater because it is waterproof, captured images may be blurred. The lens protectors can be used up to a water depth of about 20 m (65 ft).
Underwater lens protector: Used for shooting underwater. The underwater lens protectors can be used up to a water depth of 30 m (100 ft).
Attaching the Lens Protectors/Underwater Lens Protectors The lens protectors are used here as an example. Turn off the camera before attachment or removal.
1 Align the marks of the lens protector and camera (R).
2 Rotate the lens protector in the direction of the arrow until it clicks to align the mark of the lens protector and mark at the center of the camera (S). Attach the same type of protector to
both lenses. For removal, follow the procedure for attachment in reverse order.

B Notes About the Lens Protectors and Underwater Lens Protectors Be careful not to subject the protectors to physical impacts or rubbing. Doing so could
cause scratches or damage. When you are not using the camera, insert it into a case made of soft cloth material with
the lens protectors or underwater lens protectors attached.
B Notes About Attaching the Lens Protector or Underwater Lens Protector Use a soft cloth or air duster to remove foreign substances such as water or dust from the
camera, lens protector, or underwater lens protector. If the camera, lens protector, or underwater lens protector are still wet when they are attached to each other, this could cause condensation.
Check that the protectors are securely attached.
B Notes About the Underwater Lens Protectors When the underwater lens protectors are attached, there are black borders or bands in the images because the protectors appear in the images.
B Using the Camera Underwater Set Underwater in the SnapBridge 360/170 app to Yes (A29). Wireless communication is not available when the camera is underwater. There are shooting ranges that cannot be
captured underwater because the images are magnified compared to images captured on land. Therefore you cannot capture 360 content. On land Underwater
