Handling Precautions
• Do not drop or throw the Waterproof Case.
• Use only the supplied silicone grease. Use of
other waterproofing products may impair the
strength of the Waterproof Case. If any other
waterproofing product is mistakenly applied,
wipe it off immediately.
• Avoid opening or closing the Waterproof Case
near water. When you are installing the camera
or changing the memory card or the battery,
choose a place with low humidity well away from
salty sea air.
• Avoid using the Waterproof Case for long
periods of time in hot temperatures.
• Battery life is reduced in cold temperatures.
When you use the Waterproof Case in very cold
places, keep it warm by putting it in a bag
whenever you are not shooting. It is not
advisable to use the Waterproof Case in
temperatures below the freezing point.
• Moving the Waterproof Case rapidly between
hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation (water droplets) to form on its
internal surfaces. If this occurs, stop using the
camera immediately as the condensation may
cause a malfunction. Remove the camera from
the Waterproof Case and wipe off the
condensation from the Waterproof Case and
the camera with a soft and dry cloth, and wait
until the moisture evaporates completely before
resuming use.
About Water Leakage
Stop shooting immediately if the Waterproof Case
leaks. If you use the camera in this state, this may
cause a fire or electric shocks. Never use it in this
state. Thoroughly wipe the Waterproof Case
interior and the camera dry. Please contact your
Canon Customer Support Help Desk.
