bIf the camera is subjected to excessive shock, vibration or pressure by dropping or hitting it, the waterproof performance is not guaranteed.

•If the camera is exposed to shocks, it is recommended to consult your retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative to confirm the waterproof performance (charged service).

-Do not use the camera deeper than 18 m (59 ft) underwater.

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

-Your Nikon warrantee may not cover troubles caused by water seeping inside the camera due to improper handling of the camera.

•The waterproof performance of this camera is designed to work for fresh water (swimming pools, rivers and lakes) and seawater only.

•The inner portion of this camera is not waterproof. Water seeping inside the camera could cause a malfunction.

•Accessories are not waterproof.

• If a liquid such as water droplets falls on the outside of the camera or inside of the battery-chamber/ memory card slot cover, immediately wipe it off with a soft dry cloth. Do not insert a wet

memory card or battery in the camera.

If the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed

under wet conditions near a waterfront or underwater, this could

cause water to seep inside the camera or result in camera malfunction. Do not open or close the cover with wet hands. This could cause water to seep inside the camera or result in camera malfunction.

•If a foreign substance adheres to the outside of the camera or inside of the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover (in locations such as yellow waterproof packing, hinges, memory card slot, or terminals), immediately remove it with a blower. If a foreign substance adheres to the waterproof packing inside of 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 low temperature conditions in cold climate regions or 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 heating apparatus) for a long period of time. This could cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.
