Water, Dust, and Shock Resistance (continued)
■■After Using
After underwater use or exposure to dusty conditions, promptly rinse the camera with fresh water and thoroughly dry it.
1Press and hold Power for 2 seconds to turn off the camera.
Make sure that the slot cover is closed firmly.
2Rinse with fresh water.
Immerse the camera in a container with enough fresh water to cover completely it.
Operate the buttons to force out any material caught in the gaps around them.
Do not clean with soap, detergent, alcohol, or other chemicals.
Do not rinse the camera under taps or other powerful water sources.
3Dry.
Thoroughly wipe with a dry, soft cloth and dry in a well ventilated location out of direct sunlight.
Face the microphone opening downward or take other measures to eliminate any water trapped inside.
Allowing sand to dry on the camera risks scratching. Wash it off and wipe the camera dry. Thoroughly wipe off any foreign matter or water droplets inside the bottom cover.
Notes
•Do not dry with a hair dryer or other heat source. Degraded water resistance can result.
•Do not leave the camera for extended periods in freezing temperatures or at temperatures of 40°C (104°F) or above: under direct sunlight, in a parked car in the hot sun, or near a heater, for example. Degraded water resistance can result.
•After using the camera in or near the ocean, first soak it for ten minutes in abundant fresh water to dissolve the salt and then rinse it with more fresh water.
•Do not leave the camera in salt water or with salt water droplets on it. Corrosion, discoloration, and degraded water resistance can result.
•Detach the strap before rinsing the camera in fresh water.
•Remove all water droplets before connecting cables or charging the camera.
•We shall bear no responsibility for data lost due to water immersion.
