Nikon 1 AW1 Quick Start Guide

Before using the waterproof Nikon 1 AW1 and its attached waterproof lens, do a quick
waterproof integrity test by placing the camera in a basin of water and looking for any escaping
air bubbles. After the camera is removed from the water, dry it off and check for leaks.
As a final check, immerse the camera with its waterproof lens attached in a sink or
basin of water to make sure that you don’t see leaks. Turn the camera on and test
the zoom ring and camera controls. Air may escape from the pressure-
equalization vent and microphone and speaker covers, and that’s normal.
If however, you see air escaping from the lens mount or the connector and battery-
chamber/media card slot covers, immediately remove the camera from the water
and dry it thoroughly. Check to see that the O-ring and connector and battery
chamber/media card slot covers are properly sealed. If you find the camera to be
leaking during normal use, consult a Nikon-authorized service center.
If the camera passes the water submersion test, you’re ready to take it shooting
under the sea or in a pool.
