Notes on Waterproof Function
Do not place the camera directly on the sand at the beach or similar places.
The camera will sink if dropped in water, so be sure to attach the strap and slip the
strap over your wrist when using the camera in or near water.
The silicone O-ring (located on the inside of the waterproof door) must be perfectly
clean before each use. Refer to important O-ring case instructions in this manual.
Be sure to check that the waterproof door is securely locked before using the camera
in an environment where it is likely to get wet or dirty, such as underwater or at the
beach. Water, sand or dirt inside the camera may cause failure of the camera. Wipe
off any water or dirt with a dry cloth as soon as possible after using the camera.
Avoid opening the waterproof door at the beach or by the sea. Wait until the
camera is completely dry before changing the batteries or the SD memory card.
Avoid changing the batteries or card where the camera is likely to get wet or dirty,
and make sure that your hands are dry.
If the camera is very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure that it is
turned off and the waterproof door is firmly closed before rinsing it under running tap
water or leaving it in a bowl of clean water for a short time (2 or 3 minutes)
Avoid getting sunscreen or suntan oil on the camera as it may cause discoloration
of the surface. If any oil gets on the camera, wash it off immediately with warm
water.
The waterproof function does not apply to the camera’s accessories.
