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.

• Waterproof and dustproof performance is lost when the battery-chamber/memory

card slot cover is open.

• 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 Nikon’s 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-Shock

standard.

Changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the camera, are

not measured in Nikon’s 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).

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

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 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.

Introduction

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

position (A2).

Introduction

Notes About Operating Temperature, Humidity, and

Condensation

The operation of this camera has been tested at temperatures from −10°C to +40°C

(14°F to 104°F).

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.

Introduction

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.

Notes About Shooting

B Notes About Shooting

• Before shooting, check the orientation of the camera. The side with the Nikon and

KeyMission 360 logos is the front. Subjects appearing at the front are displayed in the

center of the frame during playback.

• Your hands will appear in images during hand-held photography because this camera

captures 360° content. Use the following methods to reduce their appearance.

- Attach the base adapter (A10) to use accessories

- Perform remote photography with SnapBridge 360/170 (A20)

- Use the ML-L6 Remote Control (available separately)

• The camera may be unable to capture subjects within about 60 cm (2 ft) from the

camera’s top, bottom, or sides because the subjects are outside the angle of view (i.e., the

area visible in the frame). Point the lens toward important subjects when shooting.

• If stains such as fingerprints are on the lens protector or underwater lens protector, they

will appear in the images or make images look fogged. Wipe off the stains with a soft dry

cloth before shooting.

Recording Movies or Shooting Still Images

Using the Camera

Although the lens protectors can be used underwater, captured images may be blurred.

• Select SnapBridge 360/170 (A25) M c Camera tab M Camera settings M Shooting

options M Still images M set Underwater to Yes.

• Wireless communication is not available when the camera is underwater. Also, the remote

control cannot be used.

• 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.

B Notes About Saving Movies or Still Images

The status lamps flash red at the same time or flash green at the same time while movies or

still images are being saved. Do not open the battery-chamber/memory card slot

cover or remove the battery or memory card. Doing this could result in loss of data, or

in damage to the camera or the memory card.

C Movies Over 4 GB in Size

When a movie with a file size of more than 4 GB is recorded, the movie is divided into files

with a maximum size of 4 GB each.

Using the Camera

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.

Attaching the Silicone Jacket

Using the Camera

Make sure to attach the lens protectors or underwater lens protectors to protect the

lenses because they are made of glass.

• Lens protector:

Used to protect the lens (attached to the camera at time of

factory shipment). 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).

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).

• Check that the protectors are securely

attached.

• 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 the underwater lens protectors are attached, there are black borders or bands in the

images because the protectors appear in the images.

• 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 is still wet when they are attached to each other, this could cause

condensation.

Attaching the base adapter to the camera allows you to use special accessories such

as a base mount.

• To increase the adhesive strength, attach the base mount for 24 hours or longer

before using the camera.

1 Align the camera screw with the

tripod socket of the camera (1), and

tighten the screw knob (2).

Using the Base Adapter and Base Mount

Using the Camera

2 Attach the buckle of the base adapter

to the base mount.

• While holding the two protrusions of the buckle

at the same time, slide the buckle until it clicks

into place.

• When removing the buckle, hold the two

protrusions at the same time, and slide them in

the direction opposite of that for attachment.

3 Adjust the camera angle.

• Loosen the plate lock (1), set the camera angle

(2), and then tighten the lock (3).

4 Make sure that there are no foreign substances on the surface to

which the base mount will be attached.

• If there are foreign substances such as dust or water, remove them.

5 Peel off the release liner from the back of the base mount, and

firmly press the base mount so that the entire surface is

attached.

Using the Camera

Base Mount

The base mount is an accessory that is used to easily attach and detach a base adapter

mounted with the camera.

Attach the base mount to places where you want to mount the camera.

Use the flat or curved type depending on the surface to which the base mount will be

attached.

The base mount is not designed for use on vehicles. Do not attach it on vehicles.

• Base mount (flat):

Use to attach to flat surfaces.

• Base mount (curved):

Use to attach to curved surfaces such as helmets.

B Notes About Using the Base Adapter and Base Mount

• Do not use the base adapter and base mount so that they are subjected to sudden loads,

such as directly attaching them to skis or snowboards. Subjecting them to sudden loads

will damage the accessories or detach the base mount.

• You cannot reuse a base mount after it has been attached and then removed.

• The surface may be damaged or the paint may peel off depending on the material to

which the base mount is attached. Care should be taken when attaching the base mount.

• The base mount is not suited for attachment to surfaces made of rough material such as

wood or concrete.

FCC/IC RF Exposure Statement

This transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other

antenna or transmitter.

The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are

associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that

these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices

emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being

used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue),

exposure of low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known

adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any

biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might

occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.

KeyMission 360, which is equipped with a TYPE1FJ (FCC ID:VPYLB1FJ / IC ID:772C-

radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the

FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102

of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. Please refer to the SAR test report that

was uploaded to FCC website.

Technical Notes

Observe the precautions described below in addition to the warnings in the For Your

Safety leaflet, “<Important> Notes About Shockproof, Waterproof, and Dustproof

Performance and Condensation” (Avii), and “Notes About Wireless Communication

Functions” (A33) when using or storing the device.

The Camera

Do Not Apply Strong Impact to the Camera

The product may malfunction if subjected to strong shock or vibration. In addition, do not

touch or apply force to the lens.

Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building

on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation,

place the device in a carrying case or a 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. Doing so could result in loss of data or camera

malfunction.

Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended

Periods

Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended periods when

using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause the image sensor to deteriorate or

produce a white blur effect in photographs.

Caring for the Product

Technical Notes

The Battery

Precautions for Use

• Note that the battery may become hot after use.

• Do not use the battery at ambient temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 40°C (104°F) 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 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F)

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 0°C (32°F) or above

50°C (122°F).

• 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.

Technical Notes

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.

• Recharge the battery at least once every six months and completely exhaust it 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 15°C to 25°C (59°F

to 77°F). 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

Replace the battery when it no longer holds a charge. Used batteries are a valuable resource.

Please recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

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 charging 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 100–240 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.

• The symbols on this product represent the following:

D AC, E DC, F Class II equipment (The construction of the product is double-insulated.)

Technical Notes

Cleaning after Using the Camera Underwater

Follow the procedure below to rinse the camera with fresh water within 60 minutes after

using it underwater or at the beach. The underwater lens protectors are used here as an

example.

1. Check that the battery-chamber/memory card

slot cover is securely closed (locked).

• Check that the battery-chamber/memory card slot

cover latch and battery-chamber/memory card slot

cover latch release are positioned as shown in the

figure on the right, and that their orange indicator

marks are not visible.

2. Wash with fresh water while the underwater lens

protectors are attached.

Immerse the camera in a shallow basin filled with fresh

water for 10 minutes.

• Immerse the camera in fresh water and shake it

sufficiently in the water to remove any foreign

substances from the camera. If foreign substances

still remain, remove them with a cotton swab, etc.

• When the camera is immersed in the water, a few air

bubbles may come out from the water drain holes

of the camera such as openings in the microphone or speakers. This is not a

malfunction.

3. Wrap the camera with a soft dry cloth to wipe off water droplets, and dry

the camera in a well-ventilated and shady place.

• Place the camera on a dry cloth to dry it.

• Do not dry the camera with hot air from a hair dryer or clothes dryer.

4. Check that there are no water droplets, remove the underwater lens

protectors, and then remove any water droplets or sand remaining on the

inner side of the underwater lens protectors with a soft dry cloth.

• Attaching an underwater lens protector while the inner side is still wet could

cause condensation or a malfunction.

5. After making sure that there are no water droplets on the camera, open

the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and use a soft dry cloth to

gently wipe off any water or sand remaining on the waterproofing packing

or inside the camera.

• If the cover is closed when the inside is wet, this could cause condensation or a

malfunction.

Cleaning and Storage

Technical Notes

Cleaning after Using the Camera in Conditions Other

than Underwater

Use a blower or air duster to remove any dust or lint that adheres to the lenses, lens

protectors, silicone jacket, camera body, special accessories, etc. To remove fingerprints or

other stains, gently wipe the parts with a soft dry cloth. If you wipe with too much pressure

or with a rough cloth, it may damage the camera or cause a malfunction.

Storage

If you do not intend to use the camera for an extended period, remove the battery and

avoid storing the camera in any of the following types of locations:

• Places that are poorly ventilated or subject to humidity of over 60%

• Places exposed to temperatures above 50°C (122°F) or below –10°C (14°F)

• Places next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as

televisions or radios

To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a month,

and turn it on and release the shutter a few times before putting it away again.

Completely exhaust the battery before storing it, and recharge it at least once every

six months. Also, place the battery in a container such as plastic bag in order to

insulate it, and store it in a cool place.
