There within the above-mentioned limits. Scratches and dent caused by the impact if the unit is dropped, or other changes in appearance are not included in the warranty.
Malfunction due to mishandling will void the warranty. Before use in water, be sure to read and understand the “Before Using
Underwater or under Low Temperature” (A p. 6) .
Close the terminal cover firmly until it clicks and confirm that the red sign completely goes off.
Make sure that there is no damage to and no foreign material adhered to the packing inside the cover.
Use within a water depth of 5 m (16.4 ft) and a duration of 1 hour. The waterproof performance cannot be guaranteed if the camcorder is
subject to impact such as dropping. Do not jump or dive into water holding the camcorder. Do not use the camcorder in strong water flows such as in rapids or under
waterfalls. The strong water pressure may impair the waterproof performance.

Models with waterproof function are airtight. When the temperature rises during recording, condensation can occur inside the lens due to the internal humidity.
o
During recording
To prevent the temperature of this unit from rising, we recommend that you use the unit in the following ways.
A
Avoid frequent exposure to direct sunlight. Record under the shade or use an umbrella. Best if you could keep a wet towel cover the unit.
B
The use of a tripod is recommended. Long
hours of recording while holding the unit in your hands will cause
the temperature of the unit to rise.
C
It is better to leave the terminal cover open while recording. However, the waterproof, dust-proof and shockproof features do not function in this condition. Do take note of the environment when using the camera. (Do not use a wet towel.)
D
Make sure to turn off the power when you are not recording. When the LCD monitor is closed, the unit turns off.
o
During charging
It is recommended to charge the unit in a low humidity environment. The moist air inside the unit can cause condensation. We recommend that you charge the unit in a room where humidifier is not in use, and in an air-conditioned room during summer.
