Regarding Waterproof, Dustproof, and
Shockproof Design
This camera is provided with a waterproof/dustproof design complying with JIS
waterproof grade 8 and JIS dustproof grade 6 (equivalent to IP68).
The camera satisfies our drop test (2.0 m height onto a 5 cm thick plywood
surface) complying with MIL-Standard 810F Method 516.5-Shock testing.
The camera satisfies our test for the waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof
performance, but this does not guarantee it will remain free of trouble or
damages.
Waterproof performance is not guaranteed if the camera is exposed to impact
such as being dropped or hit.
Make sure that there are no cracks or scratches on the rubber seal of the
battery cover.
Make sure that there are no foreign objects (dust, sand, hair, lint or liquid) on the
rubber seal or the surface they contact before closing the battery cover. Wipe
off any foreign objects with a clean lint-free cloth.
Close the battery cover properly. Otherwise water may get in and damage the
camera.
