• Do not open the battery/card and terminal covers if the camera is wet. Wipe off
any water with a clean lint-free cloth.
• The inside surface of the covers may get wet when they are opened. Wipe off
any water that is on the cover.
• Wiping off the camera while there is sand or dust on it may scratch the surface
of the camera. Make sure that the battery/card and terminal covers are firmly
closed before washing the camera in tap water. After washing the camera, dry
it with a soft cloth.
• Wipe off any dirt or sand on the waterproof seal or the contact surface. The
camera’s waterproof performance may be compromised by a loose seal, or
cracks or dents on the seal or the contact surface. If there is any such damage,
contact your nearest service center.
• If the camera becomes very dirty or after it has been used in the sea, make sure
that it is turned off and the battery/card and terminal covers are 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 cleaning with agents such as soapy water, mild detergents, or alcohol as
this may compromise the waterproof performance of the camera.
• To maintain the waterproof performance of the camera, you are recommended
to change the waterproof seal once a year. Contact your nearest service center
regarding changing the seal. (A charge will be made.)
• The camera’s accessories are not waterproof.
