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 using the WP-CP2 in or near water, test for leaks as described on pages 6–7  
and 12 of this manual.  
• Before sealing the case, examine the O-ring, watertight channel, and any parts of  
the case that are in contact with the O-ring carefully to ensure that they are free of  
dirt, hair, lint, dust, sand, and other foreign objects. Make sure that the O-ring is not  
twisted or out of position.  
• The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is dam-  
aged, cracked, warped, or has lost elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once  
a year; do not use a worn O-ring or a type of O-ring or O-ring grease not designated  
for use in this product. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).  
• Be careful not to damage the O-ring when removing it from the case. Do not use  
metal objects or objects with sharp points when removing the O-ring.  
• Do not use force when removing or positioning the O-ring. Excessive force may per-  
manently stretch the ring, causing the case to leak.  
To prevent wear, use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use with this prod-  
uct. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease) or other types of O-ring grease.  
• Do not open the waterproof case in areas exposed to spray, high winds, dust, or  
sand.  
• Do not drop the case, 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 case to a Nikon-authorized service representative.  
Shock and Vibration  
The waterproof case 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 WP-CP2 is waterproof to 40m (130´). At greater depths, the case could leak,  
break, or change shape, resulting in damage to the camera.  
iii  
Temperature  
Do not leave the case 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 precaution 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 case to sudden changes in temperature, place it in a sealed plastic  
bag. Do not open the bag until the case has reached the same temperature 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 case to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct  
sunlight before entering the water.  
Chemicals  
• Do not expose the case 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).  
• Use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use with this product (see page 19).  
Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).  
• Do not use sealants or anti-fog chemicals.  
• Do not handle the case after applying sunscreen. Sunscreen can damage the clear  
plastic parts of the case.  
• Do not apply stickers to the case, as the adhesive could cause the case to deterio-  
rate.  
Travelling by Air  
If possible, include the case in your carry-on baggage when travelling by air. When  
packing the case with checked luggage, leave the case open or remove the O-ring. If  
the case is sealed, changes in air pressure may damage the case 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.

Check for Leaks  
Important!  
Before placing the camera in the case, be sure that the camera is function-  
ing normally and that the case does not leak. Failure to check for leaks  
before use could result in irreparable damage to the camera.  
Close the case  
After making sure that the O-ring is in place,  
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 but the case not fully closed (), flip the  
buckle onto the front half of the case ().  
Press the case closed until the latch clicks shut.  
Check that the case is properly sealed, that the  
O-ring is in place, and that no foreign objects are  
caught in the seal.  
Immerse the case  
Slowly immerse the case in water, stopping if  
water enters the case. Test the case in a shallow  
area (1m/3´ 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).  
6
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.  
Test the shooting controls  
Immerse the case and operate the controls under-  
water 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 case out of the water and check for wa-  
ter inside the case. If water has entered the case,  
check the O-ring ( 10, 17–18). If the cause of  
the leak can not be determined, take the case to a  
Nikon-authorized service representative.  
After checking for leaks, dry the case thoroughly before inserting the cam-  
era.  
7
Insert the Camera  
1. Ready the Camera  
Insert the battery and memory card  
Before using the camera, check the battery level  
and number of exposures remaining.  
Batteries  
Make sure that the battery is undamaged. Failure  
to observe this precaution could result in fire or  
in damage to the camera. For more information,  
see the camera Guide to Digital Photography.  
Remove the Camera Strap  
To ensure that the camera strap does not get  
caught in the seal and cause a leak, be sure to  
remove the strap before placing the camera in  
the case.  
8
2. Insert the Camera  
Turn the camera off  
Release the buckle  
Pressing the buckle release button (), slide the  
latch forward () and open the buckle ().  
Open the case  
Opening the Case  
Do not open the case in areas exposed to blown  
sand or spray. Keep the case upright; do not  
place the open case with the O-ring or O-ring seal  
face down.  
Insert the camera  
Position the camera in the camera guides with the  
lens in the lens window.  
9
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 closing of the case. Im-  
proper 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 case is used ( 19).  
4. Perform a Final Check  
Is the camera in the  
correct orientation?  
Has the camera strap  
been removed?  
Is the O-ring cracked or damaged?  
Is the O-ring twisted or out of position?  
Is the O-ring free of hair, dust, sand, and other  
foreign objects?  
Is the desiccant correctly placed?  
Are the O-ring seal and watertight  
channel free of hair, dust, sand, and  
other foreign objects?  
10  
5. Close the Case  
Close the case  
After making sure that the O-ring is in place,  
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 but the case not fully closed (), flip the  
buckle onto the front half of the case ().  
Press the case closed until the latch clicks shut.  
Check that the case is properly sealed, that the  
O-ring is in place, and that no foreign objects are  
caught in the seal.  
11  
Check for Leaks Again  
Important!  
Before use, 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.  
After sealing the case, perform a final check for leaks.  
Immerse the case in water and check for leaks as  
described in Steps 3–6 of “Check the Case for  
Leaks” ( 6). Check that the desiccant stays dry  
and that no water enters the case. If a leak is  
detected, immediately remove the case from the  
water, dry the camera and case thoroughly, and  
check that the O-ring is intact and the case prop-  
erly sealed. If the cause of the leak can not be  
determined, take the case to a Nikon-authorized  
service representative.

3. Take Pictures  
Ready the camera  
Hold the case steadily in both hands.  
Don’t Block the Shot  
Keep fingers and other objects away from the lens  
window and diffusion panel.  
Frame the picture  
Use the zoom buttons on the case to frame the  
subject in the monitor.  
Use the Monitor  
The viewfinder can not be used when the cam-  
era is in the case. Use the monitor to frame  
pictures.  
Zoom out Zoom in  
Focus and shoot  
Press the shutter-release button on the case half-  
way to focus. Smoothly press the button the rest  
of the way down to shoot. Pictures can be played  
back using the  
button on the case.  
Underwater Photography  
The best time for underwater photography is when the sun is directly overhead (note  
that pictures taken underwater may have a blue cast). While shooting, avoid exhaling  
bubbles into the frame.  
Close-up shots can be taken at ranges of as little as 4cm (1.6˝) when the camera is  
zoomed out to where the icon in the monitor turns green. Note that the flash may  
be unable to light the entire subject when the camera is zoomed out, and its range may  
vary with depth and clarity. It may also reflect from suspended materials, producing  
brights spots in the picture. Take a test shot and view the results in the monitor.  
Reactivating the Monitor  
If the monitor has turned off to save power, it can be reactivated by pressing the power  
button or by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. By default, the monitor will  
turn off automatically if no operations are performed for one minute. The length of  
time the monitor remains active can be adjusted using the Auto off option in the  
camera setup menu.  
14  
Clean the Case  
Wash the case in fresh water  
The case should be cleaned immediately after use.  
Before opening the case and removing the cam-  
era, wash the case in a basin of fresh water.  
Wipe dry  
Dry the exterior of the case thoroughly with a  
soft, dry cloth.  
Drying the Case  
Be careful to remove water that may have col-  
lected in the buckle, controls, or strap eyelet.  
Remove the camera  
Remove the camera and dry the inside of the case  
with a soft, dry cloth.  
Removing the Camera  
Do not open the case in areas exposed to blown  
sand or spray. When removing the camera, be  
careful not to drop the device and make sure that  
droplets from your hair, body, or other objects do  
not fall into the case or onto the camera. If water  
does fall on the camera, dry it off immediately.  
Keep the case upright; do not place the open case  
with the O-ring or O-ring seal face down.  
Soak the case in fresh water  
Reseal the case and leave it in a basin of fresh  
water for two to three hours. Operate each of the  
controls a few times to remove salt. If salt drys on  
the controls, they may cease to function or their  
metal parts may rust, causing leakage.  
15  
Wipe dry  
Dry the case thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth. Do  
not use a cloth to which salt has adhered.  
Let the case dry in the shade  
Leave the case out to dry in a shady, well-venti-  
lated area.  
Do Not Exposure to Sunlight or Heat  
Do not use a hair dryer or other heat source or  
place the case in direct sunlight. Heat could cause  
the O-ring to deteriorate, resulting in leakage.  
Cleaning the Interior of the Case  
Use a blower or a soft, dry cloth to clean the interior of the case. Do not use water,  
detergents, or chemical agents of any kind. Water can damage the coating on the  
inside of the lens window.  
16  
Maintenance  
Caring for the O-ring  
The WP-CP2 uses an O-ring to form a watertight seal. Improper handling of  
the O-ring can produce leaks. Check the condition of the O-ring as described  
below before each use, and check for the presence of foreign matter on the  
O-ring each time the case is opened, however briefly.  
Remove the O-ring  
Pinch the O-ring lightly between two fingers to  
form a loop. Take hold of the loop and remove  
the O-ring from the case.  
Do Not Use Force or Sharp Objects  
The case may leak if the O-ring is forcibly stretched  
or damaged through the use of edged or pointed  
objects, including fingernails and metal tools.  
Inspect the O-ring  
Cracking  
Remove old O-ring grease and other foreign mat-  
ter with tissue paper or a soft, dry cloth, taking  
care not to leave tissue or threads on the O-ring.  
Gently bend the O-ring to check for cracking or  
other damage.  
Inspect the O-ring guide  
Use a blower or cotton swab to remove any for-  
eign objects from the watertight channel and all  
parts of the case that come into contact with the  
O-ring. Be sure to remove any threads left behind  
by the swab.  
Replacing the O-ring  
The O-ring requires periodic replacement. Replace the O-ring immediately if it is dam-  
aged, cracked, warped, or has lost its elasticity. O-rings should be replaced at least once  
a year. Use only COOLPIX O-ring grease designated for use in this product; replacement  
O-rings and O-ring grease can be purchased from a Nikon camera retailer or Nikon-au-  
thorized service agent. Do not use NIKONOS O-ring lubricant (grease).  
17  
Grease the O-ring  
If the O-ring is not properly greased, it may crack  
or peel, causing leaks. If the bottom of the O-ring  
appears dry, place a drop of O-ring grease on your  
index finger and spread grease on the O-ring by  
sliding it between your thumb and index finger,  
gently stretching the ring. Do not use cloth or  
paper, as these may leave fibers on the O-ring.  
Note that applying too much grease may cause  
foreign matter to adhere more readily to the ring,  
preventing the case from sealing properly.  
Replace the O-ring  
Making sure the O-ring and guide are free of  
foreign objects, place the O-ring so that it runs  
evenly at the same level all the way round the O-  
ring guide, without undue stretching and without  
protruding from the guide.  
Check the seal  
Close the case and check that the case is fully  
sealed. If the O-ring does not form a perfect seal,  
open the case and adjust the O-ring to prevent  
leaks.  
Cleaning  
Do not use detergents or volatile chemicals such as alcohol or thinner when cleaning  
the case. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to the case or O-  
ring.  
18  
Storage  
Store the case in a cool, well-ventilated area, leaving the case open to prevent  
the O-ring from deteriorating. When leaving the case unused for an extended  
period, remove the O-ring, wipe off any O-ring grease, and place the O-ring  
in a clean plastic bag to ensure that it maintains it elasticity. Do not store  
the case in direct sunlight or where it will be exposed to sudden changes in  
temperature or high levels of humidity. Do not store the case or O-ring under  
other objects, close to open flames, in the vicinity of flammable items, or with  
naptha or camphor moth balls.
