Shock-, Water-, and Dust-Proofing

The product conforms to the following standards:

Shock-Proofing

The camera, with the special-purpose waterproof lens attached, has passed drop tests compliant ^1 with MIL-STD-810F Method 516.5: Shock. ^2 These in-house tests do not constitute a blanket guarantee of invulnerability to damage or destruction.

Water- and Dust-Proofing

With the special-purpose waterproof lens attached, the camera complies with the JIS IP68 waterproofing standard, allowing it to be used at depths of up to 15 m (49 ft) for as long as 60 minutes at a time. ^3 This is not a blanket guarantee that the product will be water- or dust-proof in all circumstances or invulnerable to damage or destruction.

1 Using a test method derived from MIL-STD-810F Method 516.5: Shock, the product is dropped from a height of 200 cm (6.6 ft) onto a plywood surface 5 cm (2 in.) thick. Exterior deformation and surface damage are not tested.

2 An American military test standard that involves dropping 5 samples at a time from a height of 122 cm (4 ft) to test the effect of impact on a total of 26 surfaces (12 edges, 8 corners, and 6 faces), with the requirement that the test be passed within a total of 5 samples (if a problem occurs during the test, the test is repeated with 5 new samples, with the requirement that the test be passed within a total of 5 samples).

3 This signifies that according to tests performed using Nikon methods, the product can be used at the specified water pressure for the specified period of time.

Important: Waterproof Lenses

The product is not guaranteed shock-, water-, or dust-proof if the special-purpose waterproof lens is not attached. Before using this product, be sure to read the following sections, together with the instructions in "For Your Safety" (7–9) and in "Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions" (115–118).

- Do not expose the product to depths greater than 15 ~m (49 ft) or to rapids, waterfalls, or other water under high pressure.

- Damage due to user error is not covered under warranty.

Precautions: Water- and Dust-Proofing

Observe the following precautions when using the camera with special-purpose waterproof lenses:

- Apart from the special-purpose waterproof lens, the accessories supplied with the camera are not waterproof. Special-purpose waterproof lenses are themselves waterproof only when attached to the camera.

- The product is proof only against fresh water (such as pools, rivers, and lakes) and seawater. Do not take into hot springs or baths.

- Do not expose to depths greater than 15 m (49 ft) or to rapids, waterfalls, water flowing at full force from a tap, or other water under high pressure. Failure to observe these precautions could expose the product to pressures high enough to cause water entry.

- Do not leave immersed for more than 60 minutes at a time.

15 m

- Internal parts will be damaged by water and dust. To prevent water entry, do not remove the lens, open the connector or battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, or operate the lens release button or the latches or security locks on the connector and battery-chamber/memory card slot covers with wet hands, when the camera is wet, or in locations exposed to spray, wind, sand or dust. Ensure that memory cards and batteries are dry before insertion. Should the product leak, cease use immediately, dry the camera and lens, and consult a Nikon-authorized service representative.

- Water and other liquids on the lens O-ring seal or inside the connector and battery-chamber/memory card slot covers should be removed immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Other foreign matter should be removed from these surfaces with a blower, taking care to remove any small particles from the sides and corners of the watertight channels. Foreign matter on the camera body can be removed with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use soap, cleansers, or other chemicals, and be sure to remove suntan oil, sunblock, bath salts, detergent, soap, organic solvents, oil, alcohol, and the like immediately.

- Do not leave the product for extended periods in locations that are exposed to freezing temperatures or temperatures over 50 °C (122 °F), such as in enclosed vehicles, on board boats, on the beach, in direct sunlight, or near heating equipment. Failure to observe this precaution may make the product vulnerable to water entry.

• The product is not guaranteed waterproof if struck, dropped, or otherwise subjected to strong pressure or violent physical shocks or vibration. If the product does suffer a fall or other physical shock, take it to Nikon-authorized service personnel and have it tested to make sure that it is still waterproof. Note that a fee will be charged for this service.
• Damage due to user error is not covered under warranty.

Operating Environment

The camera and special-purpose waterproof lenses have been tested and approved for use at temperatures between -10 ^ and +40 ^ (+14 ^ to 104 ^ ) on land and 0 ^ and +40 ^ (+32 ^ to 104 ^ ) in water. Note the following precautions:

• Battery performance drops at low temperatures. Keep the camera warm, or ready a spare battery and keep it in a warm location.
• At low temperatures, the monitor may not perform as expected immediately after the camera is turned on: for example, after-images may appear or the monitor may seem darker than normal.
• In cold environments, remove any snow or rain immediately. Buttons, switches, and other camera controls may become difficult to operate if allowed to freeze, while sound quality may be affected if water is allowed to accumulate in the holes in the microphone and speaker covers.
• Prolonged contact with cold metal can damage exposed skin. Wear gloves when handling the camera for extended periods at low temperatures.
• Select a dry location when attaching or removing special-purpose waterproof lenses, and avoid leaving the camera with the body cap removed or the battery-chamber/memory slot or connector cover open or the lens with the rear cap removed in humid locations. Failure to observe these precautions could result in condensation forming inside the lens when the product is taken into the water. Condensation may also form inside the lens, monitor, or watertight channel if the product is exposed to rapid changes in temperature, such as occur when the product is taken into cold water from a hot shore location, into a warm room from a cold exterior, or the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed or lenses are attached or removed in a humid location. Such condensation will not cause malfunction or other damage, and should dissipate if the product is first taken to a location with a stable temperature—free from heat, humidity, sand, and dust—and then turned off and left with the battery and memory card removed and the battery-chamber/memory card slot and connector covers open until it has reached the ambient temperature. Consult Nikon-authorized service personnel should the condensation fail to dissipate.

Important: Location Data (GPS/GLONASS)

Observe the following precautions when using the location data and track log features:

- Track logs: While Yes is selected for Location data > Record location data in the setup menu, location data will be recorded with all pictures taken and the camera will continue to monitor location data even while off. Radio waves produced by the device may affect medical equipment and aircraft navigation systems; in situations in which the use of satellite navigation devices is restricted or prohibited, such as in hospitals or aircraft, end the current track log, select No for Record location data, and turn the camera off.

- Sharing location data: Note that addresses and other personal information may be inferred from the location data stored in track logs or embedded in images. Exercise caution when sharing images and track logs or when posting them to the Internet or other locations where they can be viewed by third parties. See “Disposing of Data Storage Devices” (18) for information on erasing location data before disposing of the camera or memory cards.

- Navigation: The position, altitude, depth, and other location data reported by the device are approximations only and are not intended for surveying or navigation. Be sure to take appropriate maps or other navigational devices with you when using the product during such outdoor activities as boating, diving, mountain climbing, or hiking.

- Restrictions on use: The location data function may not perform as expected in some countries or regions, including (as of October, 2013) China and in the vicinity of the Chinese border. Some countries prohibit unauthorized use of satellite navigation and other location data devices; before travelling, check with your travel agent or the embassy or tourism board of the countries you will be visiting. Where use is prohibited, select No for Location data > Record location data.

4 Attach the special-purpose waterproof lens.

The camera is used with special-purpose waterproof lenses that attach as shown below (for information on attaching non-waterproof 1 NIKKOR lenses, see page 110). The lens generally used in this manual for illustrative purposes is a 1 NIKKOR AW 11–27.5mm f/3.5–5.6. When attaching the lens, care should be taken to avoid damage to the camera and lens and to ensure that dust and other foreign matter does not enter the camera or adhere to the O-ring or surrounding area.

Remove the rear lens cap Remove the camera body cap

Inspect the O-ring: • Is it nicked or cracked? If so, replace the O-ring (108). • Is it out of position? If so, reposition the O-ring (73). • Is there dust or other foreign matter on the O-ring? If so, remove it from the O- ring (73).

When placing the lens over the O-ring, be careful not to damage the camera or lens; do not use excessive force.

Detaching the Waterproof Lenses

Be sure the camera is off when removing or exchanging lenses. To remove the lens, press and hold the lens release button (①) while rotating the lens as shown (②) and then detach the lens from the camera. After removing the lens, replace the lens caps and camera body cap.

① ② MILKON

Attaching and Removing Waterproof Lenses

Before attaching or removing a waterproof lens, be sure the lens and camera are completely dry, that the O-ring is not cracked, damaged, twisted, or out of position, and that the camera O-ring and lens O-ring seal are free of hair, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Do not exchange lenses when your hands are wet or have salt on them or in areas exposed to wind, spray, dust, or sand, and be careful that water does not drop into the interior of the camera or lens.

Silicon Grease

The O-ring can be lubricated with the supplied silicon grease or with optional WP-G1000 silicon grease, preventing wear and making waterproof lenses easier to attach and remove (108). To apply, place a bead of grease in a plastic bag and use your fingers to spread the grease throughout the bag (①), then insert the O-ring and massage the bag to coat the ring (②). Use only silicon grease designated for use with this product. Failure to observe this precaution could result in O-ring becoming stretched or otherwise deformed.

In this mode, the camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture for optimal exposure in most situations. This mode is recommended for snapshots and other situations in which you want to leave the camera in charge of shutter speed and aperture.

Choosing a Combination of Shutter Speed and Aperture

Although the shutter speed and aperture chosen by the camera will produce optimal results, you can also choose from other combinations that will produce the same exposure ("flexible program"). Press Q for large apertures (low f-numbers) that blur background details or fast shutter speeds that "freeze" motion, ☐ for small apertures (high f-numbers) that increase depth of field or slow shutter speeds that blur motion. ✱ is displayed while flexible program is in effect.

Continuous Shooting

The selected shutter speed may change if the frame rate for continuous shooting (☐87) is 15 fps or more.

■A Aperture-Priority Auto

In aperture-priority auto, you choose the aperture while the camera automatically selects the shutter speed that will produce the optimal exposure. Large apertures (low f-numbers) reduce depth of field, blurring objects behind and in front of the main subject. Small apertures (high f-numbers) increase depth of field, bringing out details in the background and foreground. Short field depths are generally used in portraits to blur background details, long field depths in landscape photographs to bring the foreground and background into focus.

Backlighting

The method used to capture details in shaded areas of back-lit subjects depends on the option selected for HDR in the shooting menu (📖99).

On	Details in highlights and shadows are preserved using HDR (high dynamic range); HDR appears in the display. Each time the shutter-release button is fully pressed, the camera takes two shots in quick succession and combines them to preserve details in highlights and shadows in high-contrast scenes; the built-in flash does not fire. While the shots are combined, a message will be displayed and the shutter release will be disabled. The final photograph will be displayed when processing is complete.
	+ →
	First exposure (darker)	Second exposure (brighter)	Combined HDR image
Off	The flash fires to “fill in” (illuminate) shadows in back-lit subjects. Only one shot is taken when the shutter-release button is fully pressed, and the flash fires with each shot. No pictures will be taken if the built-in flash is not raised; raise the flash before shooting.

Framing HDR Photographs

The edges of the image will be cropped out. The desired results may not be achieved if the camera or subject moves during shooting. Depending on the scene, shading may be uneven and shadows may appear around bright objects or halos around dark objects. If the camera is unable to successfully combine the two images, a single image will be recorded at normal exposure and Active D-Lighting (☐ 99) will be applied.

Easy Panorama

Follow the steps below to shoot panoramas. During shooting, the camera focuses using auto-area AF; face detection is not available. Exposure compensation can be used, but the built-in flash will not fire.

Underwater Photography

With a special-purpose waterproof lens attached, the camera can be used at depths of up to 15 m (49 ft) for as long as 60 minutes at a time. Before using the camera under water, be sure that you have read and understood the instructions in this section and have removed straps intended exclusively for use on land (hand straps, available separately from third-party suppliers, are recommended to prevent loss during underwater use).

Important: Precautions

To prevent water entry or other damage, observe the following precautions when using the camera underwater:

- Be sure a special-purpose waterproof lens is attached. The camera is not waterproof when a waterproof lens is not attached, while waterproof lenses are only waterproof when attached to the camera. Do not expose the camera to water when a waterproof lens is not attached nor waterproof lens to water when not attached to the camera.

- The sudden change in temperature caused by taking the camera into the water after it has been left on the beach, in direct sunlight, or in other locations exposed to high temperatures could result in water droplets forming inside the camera or lens, potentially damaging the products.

- Do not remove the lens under water, open the connector or battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, or operate the lens release button or the latches or security locks on the connector and battery-chamber/memory card slot covers while the camera is immersed.

- Do not leave the product immersed for more than 60 minutes at a time or expose it to depths greater than 15 m (49 ft) or to rapids, waterfalls, water flowing at full force from a tap, or other water under high pressure. Failure to observe these precautions could expose the product to pressures high enough to cause water entry.

• Do not expose the camera to water colder than 0^ C (32 °F) or warmer than 40^ C (104 °F). Do not take into hot springs or baths.
• Do not dive into the water with the camera, drop it, place it under heavy objects, or otherwise subject it to violent shocks or excessive physical pressure or force. The camera may deform and become vulnerable to leaks under excessive external pressure.
• Failure to follow correct procedures before or during use could result in irreparable damage to the product due to water entry. Should the product leak, cease use immediately, dry the camera and lens, and consult a Nikon-authorized service representative.
• The camera does not float. Be careful not to drop the camera while in or on the water.
• Condensation may form inside the lens or monitor if the product is exposed to rapid changes in temperature, such as occur when the product is taken into cold water from a hot shore location, into a warm room from a cold exterior, or the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed or lenses are attached or removed in a humid location. Such condensation will not cause malfunction or other damage.

Before Using the Camera Underwater

Before using the camera underwater, complete the following checklist.

□ Have you removed the strap intended exclusively for use on land? We recommend that you attach a hand strap (available separately from third-party suppliers) before taking the camera into the water.

Nikon 1 8 8

□ Have you attached the special-purpose waterproof lens (33)?

The Final Check

After going through the pre-shooting checklist on page 62 and confirming that the special-purpose waterproof lens is attached and the connector and battery-chamber/memory card slot covers are closed and secure, immerse the camera in fresh water, turn it on, and test the zoom ring and camera controls to ensure that they operate normally and that the camera does not leak. To prevent water entry and other damage, do not operate the lens release button or the latches or security locks on the connector and battery-chamber/memory card slot covers.

Should you notice air escaping from around the lens mount or the connector and battery-chamber/memory card slot covers, end the test and remove the camera from the water immediately (air escaping from the pressure-equalization vent and microphone and speaker covers is normal and does not indicate a malfunction). Dry the camera and lens thoroughly and check the O-ring and connector and battery-chamber/memory card slot covers are properly sealed. Consult a Nikon-authorized service representative if you find that the camera leaks in normal use.

The O-Ring

The camera uses an O-ring to form a watertight seal. Improper handling of the O-ring can produce leaks. Check the condition of the O-ring as described below whenever the camera has been used under water or whenever foreign matter is found on the O-ring when the lens is removed.

1 Remove the O-ring.

Lightly stretch the O-ring by sliding your fingers along either side and remove it from the camera (you can also use an optional O-ring remover; 108). Do not apply excessive force or use your fingernails, metal objects, or edged or pointed tools.

Mikron

5 Grease the O-ring.

Place a bead of silicon grease in a plastic bag and use your fingers to spread the grease throughout the bag (①), then insert the O-ring and massage the bag to coat the ring (②).

Diagram illustrating two-step steps of a device manipulation or cleaning process, labeled ① and ② with directional arrows and control buttons.

6 Re-insert the O-ring.

After making sure that O-ring and guide are free of foreign objects, place the O-ring so that it runs evenly at the same level all the way round the O-ring guide, without undue stretching and without protruding from the guide.

Illustration of hands installing or adjusting a circular device component (no text or symbols visible)

0-Rings

The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is damaged, cracked, warped, or has lost its elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once a year even if the product has not been used; use only O-rings designated for use in this product. O-rings must be greased before use and whenever the surface appears dry; failure to observe this precaution could result in the O-ring cracking and water entering the camera.

Silicon Grease

Coating the O-ring with the supplied silicon grease prevents wear and ensures that the lens rotates smoothly. Use only the supplied silicon grease or optional WP-G1000 silicon grease (108); failure to observe this precaution could result in O-ring becoming stretched or otherwise deformed. Replacement O-rings and silicon grease can be purchased from a Nikon camera retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative. Do not use grease in excessive amounts or apply using paper or cloth, as this may cause dust or fibers to adhere to the O-ring, making the product vulnerable to leaks.

Maintenance

Observe the following precautions when cleaning the camera and lens after underwater use.

- Never remove the lens or open the connector or battery-chamber/memory card slot cover under water. Before exchanging lenses or opening or closing the covers, wipe off water with a soft, dry cloth and be sure the product is completely dry, as otherwise water from the lens or covers may fall into the battery chamber or memory card slot or onto the battery, memory card, watertight channel, hinges, or connectors. Choose shaded locations free from spray, wind, dust, and sand, and check for water on the inside of the covers before closing them. Water on the inside of the covers could result in condensation or other damage.

• Air may escape from the pressure-equalization vent or microphone and speaker covers when the camera is immersed. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction. Note that water in the holes of the microphone and speaker covers may interfere with sound quality; dry the covers with

Close-up of a camera lens assembly with adjustment knobs and a textured lens (no text or symbols visible)

a soft, dry cloth, but do not insert sharp objects into the holes, as this could damage the camera or make it vulnerable to leaks.

- Do not dry the camera or lens by leaving it in direct sunlight or dry using hair dryers or other powered devices. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the camera, lens, or O-ring, resulting in leaks.

- Benzene, thinner, alcohol, soap, neutral detergents, and other cleaning products may deform the watertight channel or camera body, making the product vulnerable to leaks.

- To ensure that the product remains waterproof, have the watertight channel inspected once a year, and serviced once every 3 to 5 years, by a Nikon-authorized service representative. Fees are charged for these services.

Foreign Matter on the Camera and Lens

Liquid on the lens O-ring seal or inside the connector or battery-chamber/memory card slot cover should be removed immediately with a soft, dry cloth; other foreign matter should be removed with a blower, taking care to remove any small particles from the sides and corners of the watertight channels. Foreign matter on the camera body can be removed with a soft, dry cloth.

Maximum Length

Up to 3 seconds of footage can be recorded; note that depending on memory card write speed, shooting may end before this length is reached (113).

Recording Movies

Flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the display and in the final movie under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or sodium lamps or if the camera is panned horizontally or an object moves at high speed through frame (flicker and banding can be reduced in HD movies by choosing a Flicker reduction option that matches the frequency of the local AC power supply as described on page 101, but slowest shutter speed available is 1100 s at 50 Hz, 160 s at 60 Hz; flicker reduction is not available with slow-motion movies). Bright light sources may leave after-images when the camera is panned. Jagged edges, color fringing, moiré, and bright spots may also appear. When recording movies, avoid pointing the camera at the sun or other strong light sources. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the camera's internal circuitry.

3 Compose the shot and start shooting.

The camera takes pictures while the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

Continuous Mode

The maximum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst varies with the release mode. At frame rates of 30 and 60 fps, the maximum number of shots that can be taken in a single burst is 20.

The built-in flash can be used when 5 fps is selected, but only one picture will be taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed; at settings of 15, 30, and 60 fps, the built-in flash will not fire.

While photographs are being recorded to the memory card, the memory card access lamp will light. Depending on shooting conditions and memory card write speed, recording may take some time. If the battery is exhausted before all photographs are recorded, the shutter release will be disabled and the remaining images transferred to the memory card.

Continuous shooting is not available in creative modes other than P, S, A, M, or 🚫 (underwater; 🎩, ⓤ), in best moment capture, advanced movie, or Motion Snapshot mode, or when live image control is used in auto mode (☐47).

Single Frame

To take only one picture each time the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down, select ☑ (single frame, the default option) for Continuous/self-timer.

Self-Timer Modes

The self-timer is used to delay shutter release until 10, 5, or 2 seconds after the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down.

1 Display release mode options.

Press ◀ (☐) to display release mode options.

2 Select the desired self-timer option.

Flash Modes

The options available vary with the shooting mode.

• (fill flash): The flash fires with every shot.
• (red-eye reduction): Use for portraits. The flash fires with every shot, but before it fires, the red-eye reduction lamp lights to help reduce "red-eye." Not available in 🌐 (underwater; 🌐), 🌐 mode.
• SLOW (red-eye reduction + slow sync): As for “red-eye reduction”, above, except that shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting at night or under low light. Use when you want to include background lighting in portraits. Available only in modes P and A.
• SLOW (fill flash + slow sync): As for "fill flash", above, except that shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting at night or under low light. Use when you want to capture both subject and background. Available only in modes P, A, and 🚫 (underwater; 🚫, 🚫).
• SLOW (rear curtain + slow sync): As for “rear-curtain sync”, below, except that shutter speed slows automatically to capture background lighting at night or under low light. Use when you want to capture both subject and background. Available only in modes P, A, and i (underwater; 📞, 🔊).
• REAR (rear-curtain sync): The flash fires just before the shutter closes, creating a stream of light behind moving light sources as shown below at right. Available only in modes S and M.

Preventing the Built-in Flash from Firing

Lowering the flash prevents it firing. Except in 📋 (night portrait) mode or when HDR is disabled in 📋 (backlighting) mode (📖 57), the flash can also be turned off by selecting a flash mode of Ⓧ (off).

Using the Built-in Flash

The built-in flash can not be used with live image control (☐ 47) and will not fire during continuous shooting at frame advance rates faster than 5 fps (☐ 87) or when On is selected for HDR in the shooting menu (☐ 57). If the flash is fired multiple times in quick succession, the flash and shutter may be temporarily disabled to protect the flash. Shooting can be resumed after a brief pause.

Objects close to the camera may be overexposed in photographs taken with the flash at high ISO sensitivities. Note that the product is not shockproof (10) when the flash is raised.

To avoid vignetting, remove lens hoods. Even without a lens hood, some lenses may cause vignetting or obstruct the red-eye reduction lamp, interfering with red-eye reduction. The following illustrations show the effect of vignetting caused by shadows cast by the lens when the built-in flash is used.

Shadow Shadow

After using the built-in flash in dusty or sandy locations, remove any foreign matter from inside the flash compartment using a blower (or, if this fails, using the technique described on page 71) before lowering the flash. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the flash.

Aperture, Sensitivity, and Flash Range

Flash range varies with sensitivity (ISO equivalency) and aperture. With the standard zoom lens at maximum aperture and ISO sensitivity set to ISO 160 to 6400, the range is approximately 0.6 m–7.0 m (2 ft–23 ft) when the lens is zoomed all the way out, 0.6 m–4.2 m (2 ft–13.8 ft) at maximum zoom.

The (Action) Button

Some operations can be performed by keeping the ⏻ button pressed and tilting the camera left or right.

Storage and Cleaning

Underwater Use

For information on cleaning the camera after use under water or on the seashore, see page 71.

Storage

If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery and store it in a cool, dry area with the terminal cover in place. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do not store your camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in locations that:

• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures above +50 °C (122 °F) or below -10 °C (14 °F)

Cleaning

Camera body	Use a blower to remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off sand or salt with a cloth lightly dampened in distilled water and dry thoroughly. Important: Dust or other foreign matter inside the camera may cause damage not covered under warranty.
Lens	Lenses are easily damaged. Remove dust and lint with a blower. If using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent the discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and other stains, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a soft cloth and clean with care.
Monitor	Remove dust and lint with a blower. When removing fingerprints and other stains, wipe the surface lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Do not apply pressure, as this could result in damage or malfunction.
Dust shield	The dust shield is easily damaged. Remove dust and lint with a blower.

Do not use alcohol, thinner, or other volatile chemicals.

Caring for the Camera and Battery: Cautions

Before using the camera, read the warnings on pages 7–14. Read pages 61–76 before using the camera under water.

Do not drop: The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shocks or vibration.

Avoid sudden changes in temperature:

Sudden changes in temperature, such as those that occur when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

Keep away from strong magnetic fields:

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charges or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the display, damage data stored on the memory card, or affect the product's internal circuitry.

Keep the lens mount covered: Be sure to attach the body cap if the camera is without a lens.

Do not touch the dust shield: The dust shield covering the image sensor is easily damaged. Under no circumstances should you exert pressure on the shield or poke it with cleaning tools. These actions could scratch or otherwise damage the shield.

Turn the product off before removing or disconnecting the power source: Do not unplug the product or remove the battery while the product is on or while images are being recorded or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry. To prevent an accidental interruption of power, avoid carrying the product from one location to another while the AC adapter is connected.

Cleaning: When cleaning the camera body, use a blower to gently remove dust and lint, then wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. After using the camera at the beach or seaside, wipe off any sand or salt using a cloth lightly dampened in pure water and then dry the camera thoroughly.

Lenses are easily damaged. Dust and lint should be gently removed with a blower. When using an aerosol blower, keep the can vertical to prevent discharge of liquid. To remove fingerprints and other stains from the lens, apply a small amount of lens cleaner to a clean, soft cloth and wipe the lens carefully.

Storage: To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. If you are using an AC adapter, unplug the adapter to prevent fire. If the product will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery to prevent leakage and store the camera in a plastic bag containing a desiccant. Do not, however, store the camera case in a plastic bag, as this may cause the material to deteriorate. Note that desiccant gradually loses its capacity to absorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals.

To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month. Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before putting it away.

Store the battery in a cool, dry place. Replace the terminal cover before putting the battery away.

Notes on the monitor: The monitor is 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 in a bright light.

Do not apply pressure to the display, as this could cause damage or malfunction. Dust or lint on the display can be removed with a blower. Stains can be removed by wiping lightly with a soft cloth or chamois leather. Should the monitor break, care should be taken to avoid injury from broken glass and to prevent liquid crystal from the display touching the skin or entering the eyes and mouth.

Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun: Do not leave the lens pointed at the sun or other strong light source for an extended period. Intense light may cause the image sensor to deteriorate or produce a white blur effect in photographs.

Moiré: Moiré is an interference pattern created by the interaction of an image containing a regular, repeating grid, such as the pattern of weave in cloth or windows in a building, with the camera image sensor grid. In some cases, it may appear in the form of lines. If you notice moiré in your photographs, try changing the distance to the subject, zooming in and out, or changing the angle between the subject and the camera.

Lines: Noise in the form of lines may in rare cases appear in pictures of extremely bright or backlit subjects.

Batteries: Batteries may leak or explode if improperly handled. Observe the following precautions when handling batteries:

• Use only batteries approved for use in this equipment.
• Do not expose the battery to flame or excessive heat.

- Keep the battery terminals clean.

- Turn the product off before replacing the battery.

- Remove the battery from the camera or charger when not in use and replace the terminal cover. These devices draw minute amounts of charge even when off and could draw the battery down to the point that it will no longer function. If the battery will not be used for some time, insert it in the camera and run it flat before removing it and storing it in a location with an ambient temperature of 15 °C to 25 °C (59 °F to 77 °F; avoid hot or extremely cold locations). Repeat this process at least once every six months.

- Turning the camera on and off repeatedly when the battery is fully discharged will shorten battery life. Batteries that have been fully discharged must be charged before use.

- The internal temperature of the battery may rise while the battery is in use. Attempting to charge the battery while the internal temperature is elevated will impair battery performance, and the battery may not charge or charge only partially. Wait for the battery to cool before charging.

- Continuing to charge the battery after it is fully charged can impair battery performance.

- A marked drop in the time a fully charged battery retains its charge when used at room temperature indicates that it requires replacement. Purchase a new EN-EL20 battery.

- Charge the battery before use. When taking photographs on important occasions, ready a spare EN-EL20 battery and keep it fully charged. Depending on your location, it may be difficult to purchase replacement batteries on short notice. Note that on cold days, the capacity of batteries tends to decrease. Be sure the battery is fully charged before taking photographs outside in cold weather. Keep a spare battery in a warm place and exchange the two as necessary. Once warmed, a cold battery may recover some of its charge.

- Used batteries are a valuable resource; recycle in accord with local regulations.

- Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F); failure to observe this precaution could damage the battery or impair its performance. Capacity may be reduced and charging times may increase at battery temperatures from 0°C (32°F) to 10°C (50°F) and from 45°C (113°F) to 60°C (140°F); the battery will not charge if its temperature is below 0°C (32°F) or above 60°C (140°F).

The battery charger: Charge the battery at ambient temperatures between 5°C (41°F) and 35°C (95°F). If the CHARGE lamp flashes quickly during charging, cease use immediately and take battery and charger to your retailer or a Nikon-authorized service representative.

Do not move the charger or touch the battery during charging. Failure to observe this precaution could in very rare instances result in the charger showing that charging is complete when the battery is only partially charged. Remove and reinsert the battery to begin charging again.

Use the charger with compatible batteries only. Unplug when not in use.

Memory Cards:

• The camera stores pictures on SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards (available separately).
• Do not remove memory cards from the camera, turn the camera off, or remove or disconnect the power source during formatting or while data are being recorded, deleted, or copied to a computer. Failure to observe these precautions could result in loss of data or in damage to the camera or card.
• Do not touch the card terminals with your fingers or metal objects.
• Do not bend, drop, or subject to strong physical shocks.
• Do not apply force to the card casing. Failure to observe this precaution could damage the card.
• Do not expose to water, heat, high levels of humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Do not format memory cards in a computer.

Servicing the Camera and Accessories

The camera is a precision device and requires regular servicing. Nikon recommends that the camera be inspected by the original retailer or Nikon-authorized service representative once a year, and that it be serviced once every three to five years (note that fees apply to these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particularly recommended if the camera is used professionally. Any accessories regularly used with the camera, such as lenses, should be included when the camera is inspected or serviced.

Waterproof 1 NIKKOR lenses are exclusively for Nikon 1 AW1 interchangeable lens format digital cameras. The angle of view is equivalent to a 35 mm format lens with a focal length about 2.7× longer. When attached to a waterproof camera, the water-, dust-, and shock-proof 1 NIKKOR AW 11–27.5mm f/3.5–5.6 and 1 NIKKOR AW 10mm f/2.8 lenses are compliant with the JIS/IEC Class 8 (IPX8) waterproofing standard, allowing the camera to be used at depths of up to 15 m (49 ft) for as long as 60 minutes at a time. They have also passed drop tests from a height of 2 m (6.6 ft) while attached to the camera. These lenses are not water-, dust-, or shock-proof when not attached to the camera. The foregoing statement regarding water-, dust-, and shock-proofing is not a blanket guarantee that the product will be water- or dust-proof in all circumstances or invulnerable to damage or destruction.

Use the zoom ring to zoom in and out.

Lens Care

• Use only with hoods, lens caps, and other accessories designated for use with this product.
• When using an optional lens hood, do not pick up or hold the lens or camera using only the hood.
• Keep the CPU contacts and O-ring seal clean and immediately remove any foreign matter with a blower.
• Contact a Nikon-authorized service representative should you notice that the O-ring seal is cracked, deformed, or otherwise damaged.
• Use a blower to remove dust and lint from the lens surfaces. To avoid scratches, do not use force when removing sand and other foreign objects.
• Never use organic solvents such as paint thinner or benzene to clean the lens.
• Attach the front and rear caps when the lens is not in use.
• If the lens will not be used for an extended period, store it in a cool, dry location to prevent mold and rust. Do not store in direct sunlight or with naphtha or camphor moth balls.
• Leaving the lens in extremely hot locations could damage or warp parts made from reinforced plastic.
• The lens features a built-in O-ring that should be replaced at least once a year by a Nikon-authorized service representative, regardless how frequently the lens is used. A fee is charged for this service.

Using the Lens Under or Next to Water

• Never remove the lens under water.
• When attaching and removing the lens, carefully inspect the camera O-ring and the lens O-ring seal to be sure that they are free of threads, lint, hair, dust, sand, liquids, and other foreign matter. Be sure that the camera O-ring is not protruding, twisted, or out of position.
• Do not attach or remove the lens with wet or salt-covered hands or in areas exposed to spray, wind, sand, or dust.
• Immediately remove any water or other foreign matter from the lens and lens O-ring seal with a clean, soft, dry cloth.
• The amount of force needed to operate the zoom ring increases with depth.
• Should the product leak, cease use immediately, dry the camera and lens, and take them to a Nikon-authorized service representative.

Battery Life

The number of shots or movie footage that can be recorded with fully-charged batteries varies with the condition of the battery, temperature, the interval between shots, and the length of time menus are displayed. Sample figures for EN-EL20 (1020 mAh) batteries are given below.

• Still images: Approximately 250 shots
  • Movies: Approximately 55 minutes of HD footage at 1080/60i

Measured according to CIPA standards at 23 ± 3 °C ( 73.4 ± 5.4 °F) with the camera at default settings, a fully-charged battery, a 1 NIKKOR AW 11–27.5mm f/3.5–5.6 lens, and a 16 GB Toshiba SD-E016GUX UHS-I SDHC card. Value for still images obtained under the following test conditions: photographs taken at intervals of 30 s with the built-in flash fired with every other shot and the camera turned off and then on after every ten shots. Value for movies obtained under the following test conditions: a series of 20 minute movies with a file size of up to 4 GB were recorded; recording was only interrupted when temperature warning was displayed.

The following can reduce battery life:

• Keeping the shutter-release button pressed halfway
  • Repeated autofocus operations
  • Taking NEF (RAW) photographs
• Slow shutter speeds
• Using a wireless mobile adapter or Eye-Fi cards
• Using vibration reduction mode with VR lenses
  • Using zoom with power zoom lenses
  • Using the location data or track log functions
• Setting monitor brightness to Hi

To ensure that you get the most from rechargeable Nikon EN-EL20 batteries:

• Keep the battery contacts clean. Soiled contacts can reduce battery performance.
• Use batteries immediately after charging. Batteries will lose their charge if left unused.
