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.
