General Precautions
• Even very fine pieces of foreign matter (a single hair, a
single grain of sand, etc.) on the battery cover or terminal
cover O-ring can result in incomplete sealing and problems
when the camera is immersed in water. Whenever closing
a cover, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off all water droplets,
sand, dirt, etc.
• Whenever there is seawater, detergent, sand, mud, or
other similar matter on the camera, rinse it in a off sink or
other container filled with still tap water. Do not use run-
ning water from a tap, which creates the risk of dirt or sand
working its way under buttons and into other openings. Al-
ways make sure that the battery cover and terminal cover
are closed securely.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe any water remaining on the
camera after it becomes wet.
* Do not carry the camera around while it is wet. Doing so creates
the risk of internal shorting.
* Moisture on the camera can freeze in very cold environments. Ice
left on the camera can lead to malfunction. Do not allow moisture
to remain on the camera under cold conditions.
• Though the camera is designed to withstand the effects of
dropping and 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.
• To ensure proper water resistance, you should have the
battery cover and terminal cover O-rings replaced every
two years, regardless of their condition. Note that you will
be charged for O-ring replacement. Contact your nearest
authorized CASIO maintenance service provider to have
the O-rings replaced.
