Care
• Please note that if fingerprints, dirt, etc. get onto the lens, picture quality will
suffer.
• When dust or dirt does get on the lens, do not touch it directly with your
fingers, and either use a blower (available in stores) to blow it off, or a soft
cloth to gently dust it off. Special care should be taken for the lens barrel.
• To remove salt, sand, or other foreign matter, confirm that the battery/card
cover is securely closed and rinse the camera in a bowl or wash-basin filled
with tap water. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the camera dry. Be sure to clean
the camera in fresh water following underwater use; failure to observe this
precaution could impair the product’s water resistance.
• Any sand or other foreign matter should be removed from the rubber seal
with a dry, soft cloth. Foreign matter can damage the seal, impairing water
resistance. If the foreign matter can not be removed or the seal is damaged,
request replacement from a Ricoh repair center.
• To ensure continued water resistance, it is recommended that the rubber
seal be replaced once every two years whether it is damaged or not. Replace
the seal once a year if you regularly use the camera underwater or in
locations exposed to sand or dust.
• In the unlikely event that your camera fails to work properly, please consult
your Ricoh Repair Center.
• There are high voltage circuits in this camera. As this is dangerous, do not
dismantle this camera under any circumstances.
• Do not get volatile substances, such as thinner, benzene, or pesticides on
your camera. This may cause a change in quality, paint to peel, etc.
• As the surface of the picture display is easily scratched, do not rub hard
objects against it.
• Clean the surface of the picture display by wiping gently with a soft cloth
containing a small amount of display cleaner (that does not contain organic
solvents) sold in stores.
