(Important) About the Waterproof/Dustproof and Anti-shock Performance of the Camera
This does not guarantee no destruction, no ma lfunction, or waterproofing in all
conditions.
¢1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified
pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.
¢2 “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock” is the test method standard of the U.S. Defense
Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm (4 feet), at
26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and passing the
26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to
pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices)
Panasonic’s test method is based on the above “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”.
However, the drop height was changed from 122 cm (4 feet) to 200 cm (6.6 feet) dropping
onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plyboard. This drop test was passed.
(Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where
drop impact is applied.)
¢3 According to the test conditions specified by Panasonic.
Waterproof/Dustproof Performance
This camera’s waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the “IPX8” and
“IP6X” ratings. Provided the care and maintenanc e guidelines described in
this document are strictly followed, this c amera can operate underwater, to a
depth not exceeding 13 m (43 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes. (¢1)
Anti-shock Performance
This camera also complies with “MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock”. The
camera has cleared a drop test from a heig ht of 2 m (6.6 feet) onto 3 cm
(0.1 feet) thick plywood. In most cases this camera should not sustain any
damage if dropped from a height not exceeding 2 m (6.6 feet). (¢2)
Withstand Load Performance
This camera complies with 100 kgf/220.5 lbf load tests. (¢3)
