Wipe the camera dry after it becomes wet.
• Water remaining on the camera after it becomes wet can
collect in the seams between controls and the camera
body, etc. Carrying the camera around while it is wet can
cause water to leak from the seams and cause your cloth-
ing or bag to become wet. Make sure you carefully wipe all
remaining water from the camera after it becomes wet.
Location Precautions
Note the following precautions whenever using the camera
in the locations indicated.
• At the beach or around a swimming pool
Never put the camera down directly on the sand. Should
seawater, pool water, or sand ever get on the camera,
rinse it off in a sink or other container filled with still tap
water.
• In the rain
The camera is designed so it can withstand moderately
strong rain ranging from about 10mm per hour or less to
about 15mm per hour. Never open the battery cover or ter-
minal cover while the camera is in the rain or while your
hands are wet.
• Washing
The camera can be washed with a relatively weak stream
clean water from a standard household tap under the fol-
lowing conditions.

ing the above precautions does not guarantee that ex-
posure to certain conditions will not cause problems

may be impossible or may be charged to you if it is
determined that a problem is due to misuse of the
camera by you.
