Cautions on Use

Waterproofing

This camera conforms to the specifications for JIS/IEC waterproof grade 8 and JIS/IEC dustproof grade 6 (IP68).

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.
