Cautions Cautions To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following precautions when storing or using the device. ❚❚ Waterproo ng Observe the following precautions when using the case in or around water:

  • Before use, test the case for leaks as described on pages 11 and 17 of this manual.
  • The case 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 45m (147ft) or to rapids, waterfalls, water fl owing at full force from a tap, or other water under high pressure. Failure to observe these precau- tions could expose the case to pressures high enough to cause damage, deformation, and water entry.
  • Exposure to water will damage the camera. To prevent water entry, do not open the case with wet hands, when the case is wet, or in, on, or by the water or in locations exposed to spray, wind, sand or dust. Ensure that the camera is dry before insertion. Should the case leak, cease use immediately, dry the camera and the interior of the case, and take the camera and case to a Nikon-authorized service representative.
  • Before sealing the case or when installing the O-ring, make sure that the O-ring is not twisted or out of position and examine the interior of case and the O-ring, watertight channel, and any parts of the case that are in contact with the O-ring carefully to ensure that they are free of liquid, dirt, hair, lint, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Water and other liquids on these surfaces 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 channel. Foreign matter on the exterior of the case 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 apply stickers to the case or use sealants, anti-fog chemicals, or O-ring lubricants or silica gels not specifi cally designated for use with the WP-N3 (
  • Do not leave the case for extended periods in locations that are exposed to freezing tem- peratures or in hot locations such as enclosed vehicles, on board boats, on the beach, in direct sunlight, or near heating equipment. Failure to observe this precaution may make the case vulnerable to water entry.
  • The case is not guaranteed waterproof if struck, dropped, placed under heavy objects, or oth- erwise subjected to strong pressure or violent physical shocks or vibration. If the case does suff er 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.vi

❚❚ Shock-Proo ng The waterproof case is not designed to protect the camera from blows or vibration. Do not drop the case, strike it against hard objects, throw it into the water, jump into the water hold- ing the case, or leave the case in an area subject to extreme vibration. Failure to observe these precautions could result in damage to the camera. ❚❚ Operating Environment Note the following precautions:

  • At low temperatures, the camera may not perform as expected immediately after being turned on and battery performance may drop. Keep spare batteries in a warm location and exchange as necessary.
  • In cold environments, remove any snow or rain immediately. The controls may become dif- fi cult to operate if allowed to freeze.
  • Prolonged contact with cold metal can damage exposed skin. Wear gloves when handling the case for extended periods at low temperatures.
  • Do not leave the case in areas exposed to high temperatures, such as inside a car, near a heater, on a beach, or in direct sunlight. Failure to observe this precaution could weaken or warp the case, resulting in damage to the camera. Sudden changes in temperature could result in condensation inside the case, which could also damage the camera. To prevent condensation: - When moving from one location to another that is noticeable warmer or colder, leave the camera in the case until it has reached the same temperature as its surroundings. - Place the supplied desiccant (silica gel) in the case with the camera as directed on page 14 of this manual. - Do not expose the case to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct sun- light before entering the water.vii

❚❚ O-Rings Observe the following precautions when handling O-rings:

  • The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is damaged, cracked, warped, or has lost elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once a year; do not use a worn O-ring or a type of O-ring not designated for use in this product.
  • To prevent damage to the O-ring, use the O-ring remover when removing the ring from the case. Do not use metal objects or objects with sharp points when removing the O-ring.

Insert the camera. Center the camera in the camera guides with the lens positioned in the lens window.Camera guides The Camera StrapTo ensure that the camera strap does not get caught in the seal and cause a leak, be sure to remove the strap before placing the camera in the case. Underwater Flash UnitsIf you will be using an optional SB-N10 underwater fl ash unit, raise the camera’s built-in fl ash before placing the camera in the case, as once placed in the case the fl ash may fail to pop up on its own. Insert desiccant.To prevent condensation from forming in-side the case, insert the supplied silica gel desiccant between the bottom of the cam-era and the case. Slide the desiccant to the front, where it will not interfere with the case closing. Improper placement could cause the case to leak. Replacing the DesiccantUsed desiccant loses its capacity to absorb moisture. We recommend replacing the desiccant each time the case is used ( 25).15

Perform a nal check. Check the O-ring:

  • Is it cracked or damaged? Replace it.
  • Is it twisted or out of position? Reposition it.
  • Remove any hair, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Check the built-in fl ash: If you are using an underwater fl ash unit, check that the built-in fl ash is raised; otherwise, be sure the fl ash is lowered. Check the camera:
  • Be sure the camera is in the correct orientation
  • Remove the camera strap. Check the O-ring seal and watertight channel: Remove any liquid, hair, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Check the desiccant: Check that the desiccant is correctly placed (
  • Does the zoom ring rotate smoothly and does it adjust zoom? If not, reposition the zoom gear sleeve.
  • Confi rm that the inner-refl ection prevention sticker or ring is in place (

Close the case. Close and latch the case.16

Underwater Flash Units The waterproof case is equipped with 2 fi ber-optic cable sockets, permitting optional SB-N10 underwater fl ash units to be connected via optional SC-N10A underwater fi ber-optic cables and controlled by the camera’s built-in fl ash. When us- ing an underwater fl ash unit, remove either of the fi ber-optic cable socket caps (

; note that although there is no risk of leaks when the caps are removed, the caps for unused sockets should be left in place) and connect the underwater fi ber- optic cable (

). Before using the fl ash underwater, take a test shot and confi rm that the fl ash is functioning normally. For more information, see the camera manual and the documen- tation provided with the fl ash unit.17

The Final Leak Test The Final Leak Test After inserting the camera and closing the case, perform a nal check for leaks.

Important!Before use, be sure that the camera is functioning normally and that the case does not leak. Failure to check for leaks before use could result in irreparable damage to the camera. Immerse the case in water and check for leaks as described in “The Preliminary Leak Test” (

11). After completing the test, open the case and check that the desiccant is dry and that no water has entered. If a leak is detected, immediately dry the camera and case thoroughly and check that the O-ring is intact and the case properly sealed.

After Use After Use Clean the case and remove the camera.

Wash the case. Clean the case as soon as possible after use. Without opening the case or removing the camera, wash the case in a basin of fresh wa- ter.

Wipe dry. Dry the exterior of the case thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

Drying the CaseBe careful to remove water that may have collected in the buckle, controls, or strap eyelet.

Remove the camera. Remove the camera and wipe the interior of the case with a soft, dry cloth. Do not wash the interior of the case with water.

Removing the CameraNever operate the buckle or buckle release button underwater. Before opening the case, be sure that your hands are dry and free from salt or sand; do not open the case in areas exposed to blown sand or spray. When removing the camera, be careful not to drop the device and make sure that droplets from your hair, body, or other objects do not fall into the case or onto the camera. If water does fall onto the camera or into the waterproof case, dry it immediately with a soft cloth. Be sure that your hands are dry and free from salt or sand before handling the camera or battery.Keep the case upright; do not place the open case with the O-ring or O-ring seal face down.21

Soak the case in fresh water. Reseal the case and leave it in a basin of fresh water for two to three hours. Operate each of the controls a few times to remove salt. If salt drys on the controls, they may cease to function or their metal parts may rust, caus- ing the case to leak.

Wipe dry. Dry the case thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use a cloth to which salt has adhered.

Let the case dry in the shade. Leave the case out to dry in a shady, well- ventilated area.

Do Not Expose to Sunlight or Heat Do not use a hair dryer or other heat source or place the case in direct sunlight. Heat could cause the case or O-ring to deteriorate, resulting in leakage.

Cleaning the Interior of the Case Use a blower, brush, or a damp, soft cloth to remove foreign objects from the interior of the case. Liquid can be removed with a damp, soft cloth. When using a cloth, be careful not to scratch the case; do not use unnecessary force. Do not use water, detergents, or chemical agents of any kind. Water can damage the coating on the inside of the lens window.22

Maintenance Maintenance This section describes how to maintain the O-ring and waterproof case. Caring for the O-Ring Caring for the O-Ring The WP-N3 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 de- scribed below before each use, and check for the presence of foreign ob- jects on the O-ring each time the case is opened, however brie y.

Remove the O-ring. Use the O-ring remover to remove the O-ring as shown.

Do Not Use Force or Sharp ObjectsThe case may leak if the O-ring is forcibly stretched or damaged through the use of edged or pointed objects, including fi ngernails and metal tools.

Inspect the O-ring. Remove old silicon grease and other foreign objects with a soft cloth, taking care not to leave tissue or threads on the O-ring. Gen- tly bend the O-ring to check for cracking or other damage. Cracking

Inspect the O-ring guide. Use a blower or cotton swab to remove any foreign objects from the watertight channel and all parts of the case that come into con- tact with the O-ring. Be sure to remove any threads left behind by the swab.23

Grease the O-ring. If the O-ring is not properly greased, it may crack or peel, causing leaks. Grease the ring if the surface appears dry. First, squeeze about a centimeter (half an inch) of silicon grease into a plastic bag and use your ngers to spread the grease throughout the bag

). Next, insert the O-ring and massage the bag to coat the ring (

). Use only grease designated for use with the WP-N3. Do not apply grease using cloth or paper, as these may leave bers on the O-ring. Note that ap- plying too much grease may cause foreign objects to adhere more readily to the ring, preventing the case from sealing properly.

Replace the O-ring. Making sure the 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 or twisting and without protrud- ing from the guide.

O-RingsThe 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. Use only silicon grease designated for use in this product; replacement O-rings and silicon grease can be purchased from a Nikon camera retailer or Nikon-authorized service agent. Do not use COOLPIX or NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease). CleaningDo not use detergents or volatile chemicals such as alcohol or thinner when cleaning the case or O-ring. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the case or O-ring.24

Storage Storage Store the case in a cool, well-ventilated area, leaving the case open to prevent the O-ring deteriorating. When leaving the case unused for an extended period, remove the O-ring, remove all old silicon grease, apply fresh silicon grease, and place the O-ring in a clean plastic bag to ensure that it maintains it elasticity. Do not store the case in direct sunlight or where it will be exposed to sudden changes in temperature or high levels of humidity. Do not store the case or O-ring under other objects, close to open ames, in the vicinity of ammable items, or with naphtha or cam- phor moth balls.

Servicing Nikon recommends that the case be serviced by a Nikon-authorized service representative at least once a year. A fee is charged for this service.25
