BShock and Vibration

Do not drop the camera, strike it against a hard object such as a rock, or throw it at a water surface. Do not leave the camera in an area subject to vibration. If the camera is subjected to excessive shock, this could result in camera malfunction or damage.

BMaximum Depth

This camera is designed to withstand water pressure up to a depth of 18 m (59 ft) for approximately 60 minutes. At greater depth, water could seep inside the camera, resulting in camera malfunction.

BPrecautions on Handling the Camera in Cold Locations

•The operation of this camera has been confirmed at temperatures of –10°C (14°F). If the camera is left with snow or water droplets adhered to the exterior, snow or water droplets between the gaps may become frozen and it may be difficult to operate parts of the camera.

•At temperatures from –10°C to 0°C (14°F to 32°F), the performance of the batteries (number of images shot and shooting time) will drop temporarily.

•If the camera becomes extremely cold in cold locations, the monitor performance may drop temporarily immediately after the power is turned on (i.e., the monitor appears darker than usual or a residual image occurs).

•When using the camera in cold locations or at high altitudes, keep the camera warm inside a protection against cold or clothing.

B Handle the Lens and All Moving Parts with Care

Do not apply force to the lens, lens cover, monitor, memory card slot, or battery chamber. These parts are easily damaged. Applying force to the lens cover could result in camera malfunction or damage to the lens.

B Avoid Sudden Changes in Temperature

Sudden changes in temperature, such as when entering or leaving a heated building on a cold day, can cause condensation to form inside the device. To prevent condensation, place the device in a carrying case or a plastic bag before exposing it to sudden changes in temperature.

Do not expose the camera to high temperatures by leaving it on the beach or in direct sunlight before entering the water.

B Keep away from Strong Magnetic Fields

Do not use or store this device in the vicinity of equipment that generates strong electromagnetic radiation or magnetic fields. Strong static charge or the magnetic fields produced by equipment such as radio transmitters could interfere with the monitor, damage data saved on the memory card, or affect the product’s internal circuitry.
