Product Features and Precautions for Use

■Water, Dust, and Shock Resistance

Q The camera complies with JIS Class 8 water resistance and JIS Class 6 (IP68) dust resistance standards, and has passed FUJIFILM drop tests (drop height: 1.5 m/4.9 ft.; impact surface: ply- wood, thickness 5 cm/2.0 in.) compliant with MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5: Shock. These results were obtained through in-house testing and are not a blanket guarantee of water resistance or invulnerability to damage or destruction. The accessories supplied with the camera are not water resistant.

for example while on or by a body of water.

QBe sure the camera is completely dry before inserting or removing batteries or memory cards

or connecting the USB or A/V cable.
