Before Use
About the battery charger
The battery charger is in the standby condition when the AC power supply cord is connected.
The primary circuit is always “live” as long as the power cord is connected to an electrical
outlet.
Care of the camera
Do not strongly shake or bump the camera by dropping or hitting it. Do not subject to
strong pressure.
The camera may malfunction, recording pictures may become impossible, or the lens, the
LCD monitor or the external case may be damaged.
It may blemish the waterproof function.
Do not open or close the Card/Battery door or the terminal cover with a wet
hand, or in the water.
Wipe off the water before opening if there is any water on the camera.
When there is water inside the Card/Battery door or terminal cover, wipe it off
completely, and then use attached brush to remove any foreign objects.
We strongly recommend you do not leave the camera in your trousers pocket
when you sit down or forcefully insert it into a full or tight bag etc.
Damage to the LCD monitor or personal injury may result.
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.
Take extra care when handling in places with sand and dust, since it may cause
malfunction.
Do not touch the lens or terminal areas with dirty hand.
Take care so fluid, sand, or foreign objects do not fall into the gap of the buttons.
About Condensation (When the lens is fogged up)
Condensation occurs when the ambient temperature or humidity changes. Be careful of
condensation since it causes lens stains, fungus and camera malfunction.
If condensation occurs, turn the camera off and leave it for about 2 hours. The fog will
disappear naturally when the temperature of the camera becomes close to the ambient
temperature.
If the fog does not disappear, it may help opening the Card/Battery door or terminal cover for a
while. (Do not open or close around the water)
