If the inside of the camera becomes wet, this could result in camera
malfunction and the camera may not be repairable. To prevent water seeping
(water submersion) accidents, make sure to observe the following cautions
when using the camera.
• When the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is closed, make sure
that the camera strap, hair, lint, dust, sand grains, other foreign substances,
or dirt are not attached on the waterproofing packing and portions that
make a contact with the waterproofing packing.
• Do not open and close the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover in
areas exposed to water spray, high winds, dust or sand.
• When an external force is applied on the camera, it could become deformed
or the airtight seals may become damaged and cause water to seep inside
the camera. Do not place a heavy object on the camera, drop the camera,
or apply excessive force on the camera.
• If water seeps inside the camera, immediately stop using the camera. Wipe
off moisture from the camera, and at once take the camera to your Nikonauthorized service representative.
B
Shock and Vibration
Do not drop the camera, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw
it at a water surface. Do not leave the camera in an area subject to vibration. If
the camera is subjected to excessive shock, this could result in camera
malfunction or damage.
30
Notices
B Maximum Depth
This camera is designed to withstand water pressure up to a depth of 18 m
(59 ft) for approximately 60 minutes. At greater depth, water could seep inside
the camera, resulting in camera malfunction.
B Precautions on Handling the Camera in Cold Locations
• The operation of this camera has been confirmed at temperatures of –10°C
(14°F). If the camera is left with snow or water droplets adhered to the
exterior, snow or water droplets between the gaps may become frozen and
it may be difficult to operate parts of the camera.
• At temperatures from –10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), the performance of the
batteries (number of images shot and shooting time) will drop temporarily.
• If the camera becomes extremely cold in cold locations, the monitor
performance may drop temporarily immediately after the power is turned
on (i.e., the monitor appears darker than usual or a residual image occurs).
• When using the camera in cold locations or at high altitudes, keep the
camera warm inside a protection against cold or clothing.
B Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care
Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or
battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens
cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens.
B Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature
Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated
building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To
prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag
before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.
Do not expose the camera to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or
in direct sunlight before entering the water.
B Keep away from Strong Magnetic Fields
Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates
strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or
the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could
interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card, or affect
the product’s internal circuitry.
Notices
31
B
Do Not Point the Lens at Strong Light Sources for Extended
Periods
Avoid pointing the lens at the sun or other strong light sources for extended
periods when using or storing the camera. Intense light may cause
deterioration of the image sensor, producing a white blur effect in
photographs.
B
Turn the Product off Before Removing or Disconnecting the
Power Source
Do not remove the battery while the product is on, or while images are being
saved or deleted. Forcibly cutting power in these circumstances could result
in loss of data or in damage to product memory or internal circuitry.
B
Notes About the Monitor
• Monitors and electronic viewfinders are constructed with extremely high
precision; at least 99.99% of pixels are effective, with no more than 0.01%
being missing or defective. Hence while these displays may contain pixels
that are always lit (white, red, blue, or green) or always off (black), this is not
a malfunction and has no effect on images recorded with the device.
• Due to the general characteristics of OLED monitors, prolonged or repeated
display of the same screen or image may result in screen burn. Screen burn
can be recognized by decreased brightness in portions of the monitor or
mottled display. In some cases, screen burn may become permanent.
However, images are in no way affected by screen burn.
To prevent screen burn, do not set monitor brightness higher than
necessary and do not display the same screen or image for an extended
period of time.
• Images in the monitor may be difficult to see under bright lighting.
• The monitor is lit by an LED backlight. Should the monitor begin to dim or
flicker, contact your Nikon-authorized service representative.

About the Manuals
Nikon will not be held liable for any damages resulting from the use of this
product.
32
Notices
Before Taking Important Pictures
Before taking pictures on important occasions (such as at weddings or before
taking the camera on a trip), take a test shot to ensure that the camera is
functioning normally. Nikon will not be held liable for damages or lost profits
that may result from product malfunction.
Disposing of Data Storage Devices
Please note that deleting images or formatting data storage devices such as
memory cards or built-in camera memory does not completely erase the
original image data. Deleted files can sometimes be recovered from discarded
storage devices using commercially available software, potentially resulting in
the malicious use of personal image data. Ensuring the privacy of such data is
the user’s responsibility.
Before discarding a data storage device or transferring ownership to another
person, erase all data using commercial deletion software, or set the Record
location data of the Location data options to Off after formatting the
device and then completely refill it with images containing no private
information (for example, pictures of empty sky). Be sure to also replace any
pictures selected for the Select an image option in the Welcome screen
setting. Care should be taken to avoid injury or damage to property when
physically destroying data storage devices.
For the COOLPIX AW120, the log data saved on the memory card is handled
in the same way as other data. To erase the log data that is obtained but not
stored on the memory card, select Create log ➝ End all logs ➝ Erase logs.
You can clear the Wi-Fi setting using Restore default settings in the Wi-Fi
options menu.

Notes About Shockproof Performance
This camera has passed Nikon’s in-house test (drop test from a height of 202
cm (6 ft 6 in.) 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).
b Do not subject the camera to excessive shock,
vibration or pressure by dropping or hitting it.
Failure to observe this precaution could cause water to seep inside the
camera and result in camera malfunction.
• Do not use the camera deeper than 18 m (59 ft) underwater.
• Do not subject the camera to water pressure by exposing it to running
water.
• Do not sit down with the camera in the pocket of your trousers.
Do not forcibly stuff the camera into a bag.
