Before Use:

Check the camera for foreign material including dirt, dust or sand.

Be sure to close the battery/card/connector cover firmly so that lock makes the clicking sound.

Do not open the battery/card/connector cover with wet hands, while under water, or in a damp or dusty environment (e.g. beach).

After Use:

Be sure to wipe off any excess water or debris after using the camera under water.

After the camera is used under seawater, immerse the camera in a bucket containing fresh water for about 10 minutes (with the battery/card/connector cover firmly closed). After that, dry the camera in the shade with good ventilation.

Water drops may be observed on the inner surface of the battery/card/connector cover after you open the cover. If any water drops are found, be sure to wipe them off before using the camera.

Notes after use

Foreign materials may be attached to the camera when using the camera in conditions with foreign materials such as dirt, dust or sand. If you continue to use the camera in such conditions, it could cause damage to the camera. To avoid such damage, wash the camera using the following method.

1Insert the battery and close the battery/ card/connector cover firmly so that lock makes the clicking sound.

2Fill a bucket with fresh water, immerse the camera in the bucket with the lens surface downward and shake the camera thoroughly. Or rinse the lens surface by placing it directly under a strong stream of tap water.

3Press the nbutton several times in the water and close/open the lens cover repeatedly.

4Furthermore, shake the camera further with the cover opened.

Storage and Maintenance

Do not leave the camera in an environment at high temperature (40°C (104°F) or more) or at low temperature (-10°C (14°F) or less). Failure to do so may break down water resistance.
