Introduction

3.After making sure that there are no water droplets on the camera, open the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover and gently wipe off any water or sand remaining inside the camera with a dry soft cloth.

•If you open the cover before the camera is thoroughly dried, water droplets may fall on a memory card or battery.

The water droplets may also seep inside the battery-chamber/memory card slot cover (in locations such as waterproof packing, hinges, memory card slot, or terminals).

If that happens, wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.

•If the cover is closed when the inside is wet, this could cause condensation or malfunction.

•If the microphone or speaker openings are clogged with water droplets, the sound may deteriorate or become distorted.

-Wipe the water off with a dry soft cloth.

-Do not puncture the microphone or speaker openings with a sharp implement. If the inside of the camera is damaged, the waterproof performance will deteriorate.

•See “Cleaning” (F7) for more information.
