Though the camera is designed to withstand the effects of impact occurring
during normal daily use, very strong impact due to very rough handling such as
throwing the camera or dropping it from excessive heights can result in serious
damage. Even if a drop does not result in functional problems, it can cause
scratching and other cosmetic damage to the camera.

Precautions before Underwater Use
This camera can be used to shoot images underwater up to a depth of 1.5 meters
(4.92 feet). However, the following precautions should be kept in mind before using
the camera underwater.
• When shooting in water or in an area where water droplets are getting on the
camera, the lens may fog while shooting or the next time you use the camera to
record images. This can be avoided by placing the camera, with its covers open,
into a plastic bag along with commercially available silica gel before shooting. This
will dry the interior of the camera and avoid lens fogging.
• Check the contact surfaces of the [CARD] cover and [USB] cover gaskets for dirt,
sand, and any other foreign matter. Clean contact surfaces by wiping them with a
soft, clean, dry cloth. Note that a single strand of hair or a single grain of sand can
allow water to leak into the camera.
• Check the [CARD] cover and [USB] cover splashproofing gaskets are free of
cracks, scratches, and other damage.
• Close the [CARD] cover and [USB] cover securely into place.
