• If there is any foreign object, such as
lint, hair, sand, etc., on the
surrounding area, water will leak
within a few seconds causing
malfunction.
• Wipe it off with a dry soft cloth if there
is any liquid.
It may cause water leaks and
malfunction if you use the camera
with liquid adhered.
• If there is any foreign material,
remove with supplied brush.
• Be extremely careful to remove any
sand, etc. that may adhere to the
sides and corners of the rubber seal.
• Remove large foreign objects, wet sand, etc., using the shorter (harder) side of the brush.
2
Check for cracks and deformation of the rubber seal on the side door.
• The integrity of the rubber seals may decrease after about 1 year, with use and age. To
avoid permanently damaging the camera the seals should be replaced once each year.
