Importing a Digital Certificate
Before using content provenance recording on your camera for the first time, you must import a digital certificate from Nikon Imaging Cloud.
Connect the Camera to Nikon Imaging Cloud.
Highlight [C2PA/Content Credentials] in the setup menu and press 2.
Select [Manage certificates], highlight [Import certificate (from Nikon Imaging Cloud)], and press J.
The camera will import the digital certificate.
Deleting a Digital Certificate from the Camera
Select [Manage certificates], highlight [Delete certificate], and press J to delete the digital certificate.
- Delete the digital certificate before discarding the camera or transferring ownership to another person.

Cautions: Deleting Digital Certificates
Deleting a digital certificate from the camera and attempting to import a new one will revoke the old digital certificate stored in Nikon Imaging Cloud and will issue a new certificate for import to the camera. Digital certificates can be issued up to three times. If you exceed this limit, you will no longer be able to issue digital certificates. When deleting a digital certificate from your camera, pay attention to the number of digital certificates you have issued.
Revoking a Digital Certificate Imported to a Camera
To revoke the certificate imported to your camera, first perform the certificate revocation procedure in Nikon Imaging Cloud. See the Nikon Imaging Cloud online help for detailed instructions. Connecting your camera to Nikon Imaging Cloud after revoking the digital certificate will also revoke the digital certificate on the camera. Delete the revoked digital certificate from the camera.
- If you do not connect your camera to Nikon Imaging Cloud after revoking the digital certificate, the camera will still display the certificate as valid, but the provenance information cannot be viewed since the certificate is no longer valid.
