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 3.0 meters.
However, the following precautions should be kept in mind before using the camera
underwater.
• Check the contact surfaces of the battery cover and memory card/terminal 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 battery cover and memory card/terminal cover waterproofing gaskets
are free of cracks, scratches, and other damage.
• Close the battery cover and memory card/terminal cover completely, until they click
securely into place.
• Never open or close the battery cover or memory card/terminal cover while near
water or in an area exposed to sea breezes. Also avoid opening or closing the
covers while your hands are wet.
