Performance and Condensation
Notes About Waterproof Performance of the Remote
Control
The remote control is rated equivalent to JIS/IEC waterproof class 7 (IPX7), and it is
confirmed that water does not seep inside when soaked underwater at a depth of 1 m
(3.2 ft) for up to 30 minutes.
- The remote control cannot be used underwater.
Notes About Condensation and Waterproof
Performance of the Remote Control
• Do not drop the remote control, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or
throw it against a water surface.
• Do not take the remote control underwater.
- If the remote control is dropped in water by accident, immediately pick it up
and wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.
• Do not insert a wet battery in the remote control.
- Do not open the battery-chamber cover when the remote control or your hands
are wet. Doing so may cause water to seep inside the remote control and result
in malfunction.
• If moisture such as water droplets or a foreign substance adheres to the outside of
the remote control or the inside of the battery-chamber cover, immediately wipe it
off with a soft dry cloth.
• Make sure that the battery-chamber cover is firmly closed.
- Make sure that the battery-chamber cover is in the CLOSE position.
- Make sure that no foreign substance such as lint is caught in the battery-
chamber cover. Failure to observe this precaution could cause water to seep
inside the remote control.
• Do not leave the remote control in cold conditions or in hot conditions of 40°C
(104°F) or more for a long period of time.
- Doing so could cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.
• Do not suddenly bring the remote control to high-humidity environment if it is
exposed to extreme cold for an extended period.
- Condensation may form inside the remote control.
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.
