Before Use
This unit incorporates drain design
This unit incorporates drain design, draining water from
gaps such as in the camera [OFF/ON] button and zoom
lever etc. As a result of this, bubbles may be seen when
you soak the unit in water, but it is not a malfunction.
Water droplets may attach to the card or the battery when the card/battery door is opened
without fully drying the camera after it is used underwater or soaked in fresh water. Be sure to
wipe off the water with a soft dry cloth in such cases.
Do not open or close the card/battery door and terminal cover with droplets of water still on the
camera. The water droplets may seep into the camera, causing condensation or failure.
Note
Wipe off the water and dirt on the camera with a dry soft cloth.
Do not leave the camera uncared for more than 60 minutes after using it underwater. It may
cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.
After use at the seaside or under water, make sure that the card/battery door and terminal
cover are firmly closed and soak the unit in a shallow containes of fresh water a shallow
container of for 10 minutes or less.
If the zoom lever, Mode dial, or camera [OFF/ON] button do not move smoothly, it may be
caused by an adhesion of foreign objects. Using in such a state may cause malfunctions, such
as locking up, so wash off any foreign objects by immersing the camera in fresh water. Confirm
that the zoom lever, Mode dial, and camera [OFF/ON] button move smoothly after cleaning.
After soaking or washing the unit, wipe off water drops with a dry soft cloth and dry the unit in a
shaded area which is well ventilated.
Make sure that water is completely drained from the unit after soaking in water by standing the
unit on a dry cloth for a while.
Do not dry the camera with hot air from a dryer or similar. Waterproof performance will
