Introduction
• The waterproof performance of this camera is designed to work for fresh water and
seawater only.
• The inner portion of this camera is not waterproof. Water seeping inside the camera
could cause a malfunction.
• Accessories are not waterproof.
• Do not handle the camera with wet hands.
Do not insert a wet memory card or battery in the camera.
• If a liquid such as water droplets falls on the outside of the camera or inside of the
battery-chamber/memory card slot cover, immediately wipe it off with a soft dry cloth.
If the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover is opened or closed under wet
conditions near a waterfront or underwater, this could cause water to seep inside the
camera or result in camera malfunction.
Do not open or close the cover with wet hands. This could cause water to seep inside
the camera or result in camera malfunction.
• If a foreign substance adheres to the outside of the camera or inside of the battery-
chamber/memory card slot cover (in locations such as yellow waterproof packing,
hinges, memory card slot, or terminals), immediately remove it with a blower or brush.
• If a foreign substance such as suntan oil, sunscreen lotion, hot spring, bath mix
powder, detergent, soap, organic solvent, oil, or alcohol adheres to the camera,
immediately wipe it off.

Do not leave the camera in low temperature conditions in cold climate regions or in
high-temperature conditions of 40°C (104°F) or more (in particular, a place exposed to
direct sunlight, inside the cabin of a car, on a boat, on the beach, or near heating
apparatus) for a long period of time. This could cause deterioration of the waterproof
performance.
