Cautions on Use

Waterproofing

•This camera conforms to the specifications for JIS/IEC waterproof grade 7 and JIS/IEC dustproof grade 6 (IP67).

•After shooting in the rain or cleaning in water, water may seep through the eyepiece of the lens segment and the tripod screw holes on the underside. This is not a problem because these sections are of double structure.

•The internal mechanisms of the camera are neither waterproof nor dustproof.

•Should water enter the inside of the camera, remove the batteries immediately and contact the Ricoh Repair Center.

Cautions on Use

•When opening and closing the battery/card cover or terminal cover, take care to prevent water droplets or contaminants adhering to the camera from getting inside. If possible, avoid opening or closing the camera at the beach, near the sea, or in sandy soil to prevent seawater or sand from getting inside.

•When opening and closing the battery/card cover or terminal cover, operate them with bare hands, without wearing work gloves. If the camera has contaminants (such as water, sand, or mud) adhering to it, make sure they are completely removed, and then open and close the camera in a place where it will not be exposed to dirt.

•Water droplets may get inside when the cover is opened. Wipe dry before using.

•Because of its waterproof structure, the mode dial may be hard to turn when it has not been operated for a long time. If this occurs, operate the dial several times to restore it to the initial state.

•On a sandy beach or in a dusty place such as a construction site, pay sufficient attention to prevent sand or dust from adhering to the camera.

•Do not leave the camera in places where there are extremes of temperature or humidity, such as in a closed car, at the seashore, or in a bathroom.

•Before connecting the AC adaptor (optional), make sure the camera is off.

•Do not force the battery/card cover or terminal cover.

•Do not lift the camera by the battery/card cover or terminal cover.

•If any foreign object (metal, water, liquid) gets inside the camera, stop using the camera immediately. Turn the power off, remove the battery and memory card, and consult your nearest dealer or Ricoh Repair Center.

•In cold climates, if the camera has water droplets adhering to its surface, they may freeze. Using the camera with ice on it may cause it to fail. Do not leave the camera with water adhering to it.
