Waterproofing is not guaranteed if the unit is subject to an impact as a result of being hit or

When an impact is applied to the camera, it is recommended to consult the dealer or your
nearest Service Centre, and perform a checkup (subject to a fee) to see if the
waterproofing has been retained properly.
Malfunction caused by exposure to water due to mishandling by the customer will not be
covered by the warranty.

Take care not to knock or drop the bag/case that you inserted the camera in as the shock may
cause damage to the camera, lens or LCD monitor.
• 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.
• Do not use a paper bag as it can easily rip causing the camera to fall and be damaged.
• We strongly recommend you purchase a good camera bag/case from your local dealer to
protect your camera.

microwave ovens, TVs, video games etc.).
