Before Use

This unit incorporates drain design
This unit incorporates drain design, draining water in
gaps in the camera [OFF/ON] button and zoom lever
etc. As a result of this, bubbles may come out when you
soak the unit in water, but it is not a malfunction.
•
Water droplets may attach to the card or the battery when the card/battery door is opened
without fully drying the camera after it is used underwater or soaked in fresh water. Be sure to
wipe off the water with a soft dry cloth in such cases.
•
Do not open or close the card/battery door and terminal cover with droplets of water still on the
camera. The water droplets may seep into the camera, causing condensation or failure.
Note
•
Wipe off the water and dirt on the camera with a dry soft cloth.
•
Do not leave the camera uncared for more than 60 minutes after using it underwater. It may
cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.
•
After use at the seaside or under water, make sure that the card/battery door and terminal
cover are firmly closed and soak the unit in fresh water pooled in a shallow container for
10 minutes or less.
•
If the zoom lever, mode dial, or camera [OFF/ON] button do not move smoothly, it may be
caused by an adhesion of foreign objects. Using in such a state may cause malfunctions, such
as locking up, so wash off any foreign objects by shaking the camera in fresh water. Confirm
that the zoom lever, mode dial, and camera [OFF/ON] button move smoothly after cleaning.
•
After soaking or washing the unit, wipe off water drops with a dry soft cloth and dry the unit in a
shaded area which is well ventilated.
•
Make sure that water is completely drained from the unit after soaking in water by standing the
unit on a dry cloth for a while.
•
Do not dry the camera with hot air from dryer or similar. Waterproof performance will deteriorate
due to deformation.
•
Do not use chemicals such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, or cleanser, or soap or detergents.
