• Confirm that the sealing gasket and its
mating surfaces have not become scratched.
Even a small scratch may lead to water
entering the camera. If the sealing gasket or
its mating surfaces become scratched, take
the camera to an authorized repair shop to
have the sealing gasket replaced for a fee.
• If dirt or sand gets on the sealing gasket or
its mating surfaces, wipe the area clean with
a soft cloth that will not leave behind any
fibers. Prevent the sealing gasket from becoming scratched by touching it
while charging a battery or using a cable.
• Do not open/close the battery/memory card cover or multi-connector cover
with wet or sandy hands or near water. There is a risk this will lead to sand or
water getting inside. Before opening the cover, perform the procedure
described in “Cleaning after using the camera under/near water”.
• Open the battery/memory card cover and multi-connector cover with the
camera completely dry.
• Always confirm that the battery/memory card cover and multi-connector
cover have been securely locked.
Notes on using the camera under/near water
• The touch panel may be activated by water splashes on the screen icons.
When using the camera under/near water, it is recommended that you hide
the icons by touching on the right side of the screen. Touch for a few
seconds to display the icons again.
• The touch panel cannot be operated underwater. Use the buttons of the
camera to perform shooting or playback operations.
• Do not subject the camera to shock such as from jumping into water.
• Do not open and close the battery/memory card cover or multi-connector
cover while under/near water.
• Use a separately available housing (Marine Pack) if going more than
5 meters under water.
• This camera sinks in water. Place your hand through the wrist strap to
prevent the camera from sinking.
• Faint, white, circular spots may appear in under-water flash photos due to
reflections off of floating objects. This is not a malfunction.
• Select (Underwater) in Scene Selection to shoot underwater with less
distortion.
• If water drops or other foreign matter is present on the lens, you will be
unable to record clear images.
