Cautions
To ensure continued enjoyment of your Nikon product, observe the following
precautions when storing or using the device.
Preventing Leakage
WATER INSIDE THE CASE COULD NOT ONLY EXPOSE THE CAMERA TO IRREPARABLE DAMAGE BUT ALSO RESULT
IN FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR EXPOSURE TO POISONOUS GASES. THE ENTRY OF WATER INTO THE CASE CAN
BE PREVENTED BY OBSERVING THE FOLLOWING PRECAUTIONS:
•Before sealing the FJ-CP1, examine the seal and any parts of the case that are in
contact with the seal carefully to ensure that they are free of dirt, hair, lint, dust,
sand, and other foreign objects. Make sure that the seal is not twisted or out of
position.
•The seal requires periodic replacement. Replace the seal immediately if it is
damaged, cracked, warped, or has lost elasticity.
•Be careful not to damage the seal when removing it from the case. Do not use
metal objects or objects with sharp points when removing the seal.
•Do not use force when removing or positioning the seal. Excessive force may
permanently stretch the seal, causing the case to leak.
•Do not use O-ring lubricant (grease).
•Do not open the FJ-CP1 in areas exposed to spray, high winds, dust, or sand.
•Do not drop, place under heavy objects, or subject to excessive force. Failure to
observe this precaution could cause the case to warp, resulting in leakage.
•In the event of leakage, stop use immediately, dry the camera and the interior of
the case, and take the camera and FJ-CP1 to a Nikon-authorized service represen-
tative.
Shock and Vibration
The FJ-CP1 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 holding 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.
Maximum Depth
The FJ-CP1 is waterproof to 3m (9ft. 10in.). At greater depths, the case could
leak, break, or change shape, resulting in damage to the camera. Do not use at
depths greater than 3m (9ft. 10 in.).
Before using the FJ-CP1 in or near water, test for leaks as described on pages
6–7 and 12 of this manual.

iv
Temperature
Do not leave the FJ-CP1 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 precau-
tion 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:
•Before exposing the FJ-CP1 to sudden changes in temperature, place it in a sealed
plastic bag. Do not open the bag until the FJ-CP1 has reached the same tempera-
ture as its surroundings.
•Place the supplied desiccant (silica gel) in the case with the camera as directed on
page 10 of this manual.
•Do not expose the FJ-CP1 to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in
direct sunlight before entering the water.
Chemicals
•Do not expose the FJ-CP1 to volatile chemicals or their vapors. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in damage to the case.
•Do not use chemical detergents, rust inhibitors, thinner, alcohol, or other volatile
chemicals when cleaning the case. Wash in fresh water only.
•Use only desiccants designated for use with this product (see page 19).
•Do not use sealants or anti-fog chemicals.
•Do not handle the FJ-CP1 after applying sunscreen. Sunscreen can damage the
clear plastic parts of the case.
•Do not apply stickers to the FJ-CP1, as the adhesive could cause the case to dete-
riorate.
Travelling by Air
If possible, include the FJ-CP1 in your carry-on baggage when travelling by air.
When packing the FJ-CP1 with checked luggage, leave the case open or remove
the seal. If the case is sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the product or
prevent the case from opening.
High Altitudes
When travelling from high to low altitudes, open the case periodically to equalize
the pressure. If the case is kept sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the
case or prevent the case from opening.

Before placing the camera in the FJ-CP1, 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. Note that leaks may result if
the case is cracked or damaged. Check for cracking and other damage before
use, and consult with a Nikon service representative in the event that any crack-
ing or damage is found.
Important!
Close the case
After making sure that the seal is in place, clean,
and unobstructed ( 10), slowly close the case,
being careful not to pinch your fingers in the gap.
Latch the case
With front and rear halves of the case lightly
touching, flip the buckle onto the front half of
the case.
Press the buckle closed until it clicks shut. Check
that the case is tightly closed, that the seal is in
place, and that no foreign objects are caught in
the seal.

Immerse the case
Slowly immerse the FJ-CP1 in water, stopping
if water enters the case. Test in a shallow area
(1m/3ft. or less) or in a tub or bucket. Do not
use hot water, as this could exceed the operating
temperature range of 0–40°C (32–104 °F).
After checking for leaks, dry the case thoroughly before inserting the camera.
Test the shooting controls
Immerse the case and operate the controls
underwater for two to three minutes, checking
whether any bubbles are emitted or any water
enters the case.
Check for water inside the case
Take the FJ-CP1 out of the water and check for
water inside the case. If water has entered the
case, check the seal ( 10). If the cause of the
leak can not be determined, take the product to a
Nikon-authorized service representative.
Check for leaks
Keep the case immersed and check whether any
bubbles are emitted. After two to three seconds,
take the case out of the water and check whether
any droplets are inside.

3. Insert Desiccant
To prevent condensation from forming inside
the case, insert the silica gel desiccant between
the bottom of the camera and the case. Slide
the desiccant to the front of the case, where it
will not interfere with proper closure. Improper
placement could cause the case to leak.
Replacing the Desiccant
Used desiccant loses its ability to absorb moisture.
We recommend replacing the desiccant each
time the FJ-CP1 is used ( 19).
