2. The speed at which the waterproof packing deteriorates depends
on usage and storage conditions. If the waterproof packing
is damaged, shows cracks, or has lost its elasticity, leakage
may result.
3. This product has an airtight plastic (polycarbonate) construction. Its
water resistant properties may be affected if it is deformed by
exposure to high temperatures for a long period (for example, if it is
left in an automobile, on a boat, or at the beach), or subjection to
uneven external force for a long time. Also, do not place heavy
objects on this product during storage or transport.
4. When the surface in contact with the waterproof packing is pressed
strongly from the outside of the product, or when the product is
twisted, the water resistant function may be lost. Take care not to
exert excessive force.
5. Before using this product, perform the preliminary test and the final
check.
6. If you notice drops of water or other signs of water leakage while
taking pictures, stop shooting immediately, remove any water from
the camera and the product, and perform the tests in "Final check"
to determine whether leakage has occurred or not.
