Introduction

•If a foreign substance such as suntan oil, sunscreen lotion, hot spring water, bath mix powder, detergent, soap, organic solvent, oil, or alcohol adheres to the camera, immediately wipe it off. Failure to do so may cause the camera exterior to deteriorate.

•Do not leave the camera in high-temperature conditions of 40°C (104°F) or more (in particular, a place exposed to direct sunlight, inside the cabin of a car, on a boat, on the beach, or near a heating device) for a long period of time. This could cause deterioration of the waterproof performance.

Before Using the Camera Underwater
