Camera care and the waterproof performance (Continued)

About the water drainage structure

The camera has a water drainage structure. Water that enters gaps such as those around the Power button or zoom button flows to the outside. For this reason, bubbles may appear when the camera is soaked in water, but this is not a malfunction.

Water may accumulate around the card/battery compartment or the connection sockets after using the camera underwater or soaking it in fresh water. If the card/battery door is opened while the camera is not completely dry, water droplets may adhere to the card or battery. If this happens, be sure to wipe with a soft and dry cloth.

Do not open or close the card/battery door or terminal cover while there are water droplets on the camera. The water droplets may get inside the camera and cause condensation or a malfunction.

• Example of water droplets around the card/ battery compartment : Water droplets : Battery

: Card

If water droplets or dirt are adhered to the camera, wipe them off with a soft and dry cloth.

After using the camera underwater, do not leave it for more than 60 minutes without performing the care procedure. The waterproof performance may deteriorate.

If the buttons such as button or Power button do not move smoothly, it may be because there are adhered foreign objects. Continuing to use the camera in such a state may result in a malfunction where the camera becomes inoperable. Shake the camera well in fresh water to wash off any foreign objects. Then, confirm that buttons move smoothly.

Water, sand and other foreign objects easily enter the speaker, so after using the camera, be sure to rinse with water and then shake it gently several times to remove any water droplets.

Do not dry the camera with hot air, such as from a hair dryer. Deformation may deteriorate the waterproof performance.

Do not use soap, neutral detergents, or chemicals such as benzine, thinner, alcohol or cleansers.
