Do not use this product in water deeper than 5 m (16.4 ft) or for longer than 30 minutes.

Do not drop, puncture or disassemble the camera.

Use the camera with care. Rough handling may damage the internal components.

Do not expose the camera to high temperature.

Please be aware that the camera body may become warm when operating it for an extended period.

Test for proper operation before using the camera.

Only use accessories supplied by the manufacturer, such as adapter and battery.

In order to prevent external short circuiting of the battery, please use a vinyl bag, etc.

Remove the battery if the camera is not going to be used for long periods.

When temperature of the camera reaches 67°C (152°F), an alarm icon (thermometer icon) will appear. Once it reaches 70°C (158°F), the camera will turn off automatically for safety.

Using at Low Temperatures

On ski slopes, at high elevations, and in other cold areas where the temperature drops below freezing 0°C (32°F), keep the camera warm inside clothing or other insulating material.

Prolonged contact with exposed metallic portions can trigger frostbite and other damage to the skin.

Temperatures between 0 and -10°C (32 and 14°F) temporarily lower battery performance, reducing the time available for photography.

Charging is not possible at temperatures below freezing 0°C (32 °F).

Turning on a thoroughly chilled camera can result in lower LCD monitor performance, producing a slightly darker screen, afterimages, and other temporary issues.

Leaving snow and water droplets on the camera in a freezing environment can produce ice crystals inside the gaps surrounding the power button, control buttons, speaker, microphone, etc., interfering with button operation and reducing sound levels.
