Notes About Shockproof Performance
This camera has passed Nikon’s in-house test (drop test from a height of 1.5 m
(5 ft) on a 5 cm (2 in.) thick plywood panel) compliant with MIL-STD 810F
Method 516.5-Shock*.
This test does not guarantee the waterproof performance of the camera or that
the camera will be free from damage or trouble under all conditions.
Changes in appearance, such as paint peeling off and deformation of the drop
shock portion are not subject to the Nikon’s in-house test.
* U.S. Department of Defense test method standard.
This drop test drops 5 cameras in 26 directions (8 edges, 12 corners, and 6 faces)
from a height of 122 cm (48 in.) to make sure that one to five cameras pass the test
(if any defect is detected during the test, another five cameras are tested to make
sure that the test criteria are satisfied for one to five cameras).

by dropping or hitting it, or by placing heavy objects on it.
Deformation may damage the airtight seals and water may seep inside the
camera, resulting in camera malfunction.
