*1
Drop testing of the camera/controller combination and the camera and
controller individually from a height of 1.3 meters onto plywood (lauan),
10 directions (6 faces, 4 corners)
*2
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.

Splashproof:
Splashproof equivalent to IEC/JIS Class 8 (IPX8)

Use during high-speed travel on water during motor sports, while riding a
personal watercraft, etc. is not supported.
*6
Due to the characteristics of the camera’s lens, there will be some loss of image
quality when shooting under water. This is normal and does not indicate
malfunction.

Dustproof:
Corresponds to IEC/JIS Protection Class 6 (IP6X) dustproofing.
IMPORTANT!
• The shock resistance, splashproofing, and dustproofing of this product are based
on CASIO test results, and do not constitute any guarantee that the product will
perform, will not be damaged, or will not malfunction under such conditions.

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.
