Notes on using the camera under/near water
• The touch panel may be activated by water splas hes on the screen icons.
When using the camera under/near water, it is recommended that you hide
the icons by touching on the right side of the screen. Touch for a few
seconds to display the icons again.
• The touch panel cannot be operated underwater. Use the buttons of the
camera to perform shooting operations.
•Do not subject the camera to shock such as from jumping into water.
• Do not open and close the battery/memory card cover while under/near
water.
• This camera sinks in water. Place your hand through the wrist strap to
prevent the camera from sinking.
• Faint, white, circular spots may appear in under-water flash photos due to
reflections off of floating objects. This is not a malfunction.
• Select (Underwater) in Scene Selection to shoot underwater with less
distortion.
Cleaning after using the camera under/near water
• Always clean the camera with water after use
within 60 minutes, and do not open the
battery/memory card cover before cleaning is
finished. Sand or water may get inside places
where it cannot be seen. If not rinsed, water-
proof performance will be degraded.
•Allow the camera to sit in pure water poured
into a cleaning bowl for about 5minutes.
Then, gently shake the camera, press each button, slide the zoom lever inside
the water, to clean away any salt, sand or other matter lodged around the
buttons.
• After rinsing, wipe away water drops with a soft cloth. Allow the camera to
dry completely in a shady location with good ventilation. Do not blow dry
with a hair dryer as there is a risk of deformation and/or degraded water-
proof performance.
• Wipe away water drops or dust on the memory ca rd/battery cover or terminal
cover with a soft dry cloth.
