Care of the camera
•
Do not strongly shake or bump the camera by dropping or hitting it. Do not subject to
strong pressure.
–
The camera may malfunction, recording pictures may become impossible, or the lens, the
LCD monitor or the external case may be damaged.
–
It may blemish the waterproof function.
•
Do not open or close the Card/Battery door or the terminal cover with a wet
hand, or in the water.
•
Wipe off the water before opening if there is any water on the camera.
•
When there is water inside the Card/Battery door or terminal cover, wipe it off
completely, and then use attached brush to remove any foreign objects.
•
We strongly recommend you do not leave the camera in your trousers pocket
when you sit down or forcefully insert it into a full or tight bag etc.
Damage to the LCD monitor or personal injury may result.
•
Do not attach any other items to the hand strap that’s included with your
camera. While being stored, that item can rest against the LCD monitor and damage it.
•
Take extra care when handling in places with sand and dust, since it may cause
malfunction.
•
Do not touch the lens or terminal areas with dirty hands.
•
Take care so fluid, sand, or foreign objects do not fall into the gap of the buttons.
∫
About Condensation (When the lens is fogged up)
•
Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
•
If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will
disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.
•
If the fog does not disappear, it may help opening the Card/Battery door or terminal cover for a
while. (Do not open or close around water)
