Safety Precautions
COPY
Before you use the Waterproof Case, thoroughly
read these precautions to ensure correct use.
The precautions described below are for ensuring
safe use of the Waterproof Case and for
preventing danger and damage to yourself and
others. Thoroughly understand the details of these
precautions before reading the rest of this manual.
• After you use the Waterproof Case, be sure to
remove the camera from it. If you leave the
Waterproof Case containing the camera in
direct sunlight or in a high-temperature place,
this may cause a fire or the case to burst.
• Do not use the Waterproof Case in place of a
personal flotation device (life jacket).
• Do not use the neck strap underwater.
Remove the neck strap and attach the wrist
strap before use underwater. There is danger
that the neck strap will become entangled and
cause strangulation or another mishap.
• Do not use the Waterproof Case at water depths
exceeding 40 meters (130 ft.). The case may
malfunction, suffer damage or leak.
4
• Do not press the buttons or the lever of the
Waterproof Case with unnecessary force when
in the water. This may warp the casing and
cause leaks.
• When cleaning the case, do not spray water at
the waterproof seal under pressure. This may
cause leaks.
• Do not disassemble or modify the Waterproof
Case. This may cause leaks.
• Do not damage the waterproof seal, scratch its
contact surfaces, or allow dirt, sand, hair or
other debris to accumulate between the
waterproof seal and the case. This may cause
leaks.
• Do not use the Waterproof Case in water at
temperatures above 40 °C (104 °F). Heat may
warp the casing and cause leaks.
• Do not leave the Waterproof Case in direct
sunlight, inside a car in hot weather, or near a
heater. Heat may warp the casing and cause
leaks. Cover it with a towel, for example, if you
have to leave it in the sun.
Handling Precautions
COPY
• Do not drop or throw the Waterproof Case.
• Use only the supplied silicone grease. Use of
other waterproofing products may impair the
strength of the Waterproof Case. If any other
waterproofing product is mistakenly applied,
wipe it off immediately.
• Avoid opening or closing the Waterproof Case
near water. When you are installing the camera
or changing the memory card or the battery,
choose a place with low humidity well away from
salty sea air.
• Avoid using the Waterproof Case for long
periods of time in hot temperatures.
• Battery life is reduced in cold temperatures.
When you use the Waterproof Case in very cold
places, keep it warm by putting it in a bag
whenever you are not shooting. It is not
advisable to use the Waterproof Case in
temperatures below the freezing point.
• Moving the Waterproof Case rapidly between
hot and cold temperatures may cause
condensation (water droplets) to form on its
internal surfaces. If this occurs, stop using the
camera immediately as the condensation may
cause a malfunction. Remove the camera from
the Waterproof Case and wipe off the
condensation from the Waterproof Case and
the camera with a soft and dry cloth, and wait
until the moisture evaporates completely before
resuming use.
About Water Leakage
Stop shooting immediately if the Waterproof Case
leaks. If you use the camera in this state, this may
cause a fire or electric shocks. Never use it in this
state. Thoroughly wipe the Waterproof Case
interior and the camera dry. Please contact your
Canon Customer Support Help Desk.

Waterproof Seal
• When removing the seal from your
Waterproof Case, use your fingers so you do
not damage the waterproof seal (as shown in
Fig 1.). Do not dig your fingernails into it or
use pointed or metallic objects to remove it.
• Do not pull the waterproof seal. Pulling the
seal may overstretch it, which may cause the
case to not close properly and cause leaks.
• While mounting the waterproof seal, do not
twist or pull the seal with force. Extreme care
should be taken to ensure the waterproof
seal is level around the mounting groove.
Please check to ensure that the waterproof
seal is working.

• Debris (e.g. sand, dirt or hair) stuck to the
waterproof seal may cause water leakage.
Catching a single strand of hair or a tiny grain of
sand in the seal can cause leaks.

• Be careful not to apply too much grease.
Applying too much grease to the seal may
cause water leakage (about a droplet is
sufficient).
• Do not use paper or cloth to apply the grease to
the seal.
• A damaged or cracked waterproof seal may
cause leaks. Please contact your Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.
